Hello all, Wondered who could give me a little advice,from their experience, of the drugs that can help alzheimers and when they are introduced. I understand about NICE rulings and that it's all just reached the high court but during the whole time of dad's illness it's never even been mentioned! He's on sulperide and recently they've added an anti depressent in. Social services have been next to useless and now to top it all the attendance allowance we applied for, on ss advice! has been turned down due to the fact he's in a care home, which, i hasten to add we are paying for.
For those following my mum's cancer fight...... mum is home and fairly happy, had some bad nights though. I managed to get her to see dad at the care home yesterday and it was very emotional, mum cried. Dad was very good and we even got away without a fuss as they took him off to lunch. How very sad that after 52 years of marriage ,this is how it has to be. As a daughter ther's a valuable lesson to be learned and that is to grab life with both hands and live it.
