Is it worth bothering with any of it?
My husband has recently been diagnosed with AD and is in the early stages. He is still very sociable but his memory and knowledge of how to do stuff is pouring away from him at an alarming rate. He has been prescribed Aricept and took it reluctantly for a few weeks. He has not got on to the higher dose.
I dont know whether it made a difference because he has now decided that he doesnt want to take any medication. He has always resisted medication throughout his life. At first I more or less forced him to have it . Now I dont think I can do this into the future-especially when the outcome is so uncertain. At the end of the day he is 85 and has had a good life - fit and active until this.
