I realise that my husband is still reasonably well, only diagnosed 6 months ago with late onset Alzheimer’s. He is 85. I noticed a change in him 5 years ago and assumed it was old age forgetfulness. However after a brain scan in January 2021 there was a change in his brain size and was informed on the internet, conversation with consultant that he has Alzheimers.
My question is: has anyone any suggestions about suitable medication and if he takes medication how do we know that it has slowed down the disease? We have tried two types already but the first gave him upset tummy and the second seemed to change his agility?
Any thoughts would be very welcome as I am thinking of trialing medication again with him, its a responsibility.
