Could be, Connie, we get the Scottish edition. But letters go to the normal email address, so I assumed it would be in all.
The text was:
'Thank you so much for your campaign for medication for people with Alzheimer’s disease. Our experience endorses your statement that ‘the key to getting the most benefit from these drugs is to start patients on them early, and use them continuously’. It makes no sense whatever to deny treatment until the disease has reached the moderate stage.
My husband John was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease seven years ago, and was prescribed Reminyl (galantamine) from day one. As in the case of Charles Boycott, the improvement in mood and confidence was immediate. Seven years later his condition has declined, but he still has reasonable quality of life.
We still walk the dog together, he likes to come shopping, and enjoys spending time with his family, although his communication skills are very limited. He is still physically fit, and looks well for his age. Without treatment the odds are that he would now be in the later stages of the disease.'
The photo was the one with Skye I've already posted on Tea Room.
Love,
