my husband diagnosed 6 years ago with Alzheimer’s has been in a care home for a year. His mobility was very poor and suffered falls. He used to go into deep sleeps and become very unresponsive but also at times agitated. We were also told he had Expressive and Receptive Dysphasia which meant he couldn’t understand what was being said and couldn’t answer appropriately. During the recent hot weather he went into hospital for a fluid boost as he had become dehydrated. A couple of days after he was discharged he refused his medication 2 days running. I thought I saw some improvement as for those 2 days he seemed more alert and not so sleepy. I asked the GP if we could leave all medication off for a little longer to see whether there would be any further improvement. He cautiously agreed but monitored him every couple of days. He has now been medication free for 3 weeks now and I and the care home are amazed. He is now walking unaided and feeding himself. He is able to hold a cup to drink with instead of a beaker without shaking and spilling his drink. He is still very alert and for the first time in over a year is saying small sentences and an answer what is being asked of him as he now appears to understand what is being said. He has also said “Thank you” to the Carers giving his personal care. Has anyone else encountered anything similar? One of his main medication was Memantine
