when my mum was diagnosed with cardiovascular dementia, i new straight away it wasn't good as i had read about it before hand, i cant believe that nothing can be done and we, all who are going through this just have to watch our loved ones slowly deteriate before our very eyes, the memory clinic said he would not prescribe drugs for my mum as they wouldn't help her as some of her brain cells are already dead, and the drugs therefore would not help, my mum still knows all her family members, she watches Mrs browns boys and has a laugh, she also likes the royal family and can communicate a little, she has difficulty in making a sentence, and of a night she gets terrified and has terrible panic attacks and shakes, and she is forgetful and repeats herself, some days quite bad some-days quite good, my point being the memory clinic wont help and he said the drugs for alzheimers wouldn't help and yet when i looked it up on this site it said that they can help and the drugs slow the progression down and help the patient, i vetualy begged the dr at the clinic to help and prescribe my mum with the drugs but he said no, i even said i will pay for the tablets, but he was addement and said we cant give you them, omg i could understand if my mum was to far gone and it was to late, i just don't get it its heart breaking, how depressing it is to watch, i feel for any one that is going through this god bless you
