been reading about everyones experiences for weeks and found the forum extremely helpful. and thought it was about time i joined. i am 24, my dad has just been diagnosed with alzheimers (he is only 58) it was obviously a huge shock to the whole family and completely devastating.
at this stage all we have been given is the information of the diagnosis itself and are awaiting a further appoinment where i presume we will be told what the next step will be. the way in which i am trying to cope with all this is thru self education and learning as much as i can so as to get the best understanding and outcome from this appointment. i have been researching the dementia drugs and obviously the nice guidelines surrounding them. yet on this website i have read about peoples experiences with ebixa. which i am having trouble reasearching. nice guidelines are stating that they do not offer it. does any one know if this is a financial limitation (and if appropriate a private prescription could be obtained) or if it is being restricted for health reasons??
any advice on anything at all would be appreciated so much.
