New Medication...??
Hello Gerrie,
I'm not very up-to-date with new medications..sorry...
My husband is on Reminyl..maximum dose and has been on this dose for about 18 months..
His consultant has recently advised me that it is probably no longer working and it may be withdrawn at the next hospital visit..in August.
I'm aware that there has been a supposed miraculous "turn around" for an Alzheimer's patient who was injected with, I think, a drug for Rheumatoid Arthritis...I may be wrong.There is a lot of ongoing research..sadly it will probably be too late for any of this to benefit my husband.
Forgive me..I'm going to be blunt..
As I see it there is currently no cure for Alzheimers..current drug therapy may mask the worst symptoms..for a time..
In order for me to deal with this..for my sake..and my husband's..I prefer to know and hopefully understand what I'm dealing with now..and prepare myself for what we both may have to face in the future..
TP is helping me to come to terms with this..talking with fellow members..like yourself..reading threads and posts..asking questions..giving support..and receiving it ..
It's not an easy road that any of us travel..I wish you well..
Love gigi xx
