Hi,
I'm new here today, my mother having received her diagnosis about 6 weeks ago.
I have a question which I would be grateful if anyone can offer any advice on: Every morning she wakes up, she has what she describes as a 'foggy head' with a little dizziness. She says she feels she wants to shake it, to clear it. It makes her feel quite ghastly and it doesn't wear off until the afternoon. She is on Aricept and had the dosage doubled, but after having done that, she experienced severe pains in the feet and legs during the night, so the dosage was reduced. She also says that her nose keeps running - something she's never experienced before.
Has anyone else had experience of these symptoms and if so, is there a miraculous solution?
