Hi Everyone,
Quick question (just got back from visiting my parents in Yorkshire for memory clinic appointment with Dad - so apols for not being on line for a few days).
Dad is doing great on the Remynol - only on the 8mg at the moment. No side effects etc. Anyway we were hoping to up the dose to 16mg. Unfortunately the memory clinic have just phoned Mum this morning to say Dad needs to get an appointment with the doctor as his pulse is low - and that they are unable to up the dose of Remynol.
Does anyone have any experience of this (low pulse) ? What causes a low pulse and can we do anything to improve it? Typically we couldn't get a doctors appointment until the 31st May! The doctor we have is excellent so we didn't want to see anyone else but she only works part time so is difficult to get appointments with.
Any advice will be gratefully recieved.
By the way - Dad did well in the memory tests improved one point - his concentration seems to be improved a little. I managed to sort out lots of things in my visit - we now have low rate attendence allowance and I have applied for carers allowance for Mum. I visit again 11 June - can't wait.
Thanks in advance.
