my wife has has short term memory problems for a couple of years, and seems to be increasing albeit slowly
after a recent CT scan a transitional meningioma was detected but thought to be old and calcified and not immediately of any concern as affecting her brain, but being monitored
she had a CT scan which showed more clearly other factors pointing to alzheimers dementia and is now being treated with donepezil on a trial basis.
vascular treatment is also being used to avoid stroke and heart problems.
if the donepezil can be increased and slows her memory loss after the trial, our consultant has also pointed out that another drug, memantine may well be needed
i am her husband and carer...
this is all new to her and definately to me as i dont know what to expect at any time, regarding her health and mental condition
from time to time i know i will need to ask for some advice and reassurance from the forum
thanks in advance
