I was told I had Alzheimer's and started on a medication called Aricept. I got two second opinions who told me not to take the medication and that I was never tested for Alzheimer's. They just diagnosed me with dementia and Alzheimer's based on observation. What should I do?

Since two miscarriages 2 years ago, my partner and I have been trying for a baby for over a year. Recently, my GP diagnosed my iron as low and prescribed me ferrous sulphate 200 mg twice a day. My monthly cycle for the last 3 months is 25 days, with menstruation from days 1 to 4, and I am 43 years old. Could the low iron diagnosis be a factor in infertility, or is it more likely due to my age? If I increase my dietary intake of iron-rich foods along with the prescribed medication, could this increase my chances of becoming fertile?
