Our local hospital group are doing some clinical trials on a new drug for hullucinations in AD sufferers. The recipients will either get the drug or a placebo and they would do blood and urine tests weekly for 12 weeks. However the drug isn't licensed yet and they would have to take Mum off her medications she is taking at the moment. I would have agreed but as Mums mood and appetite are now greatly improved and I didn't want to jeopardise her progress. I wrote a letter declining Mum to take part but wished them well, but that I would have preferred this money to go towards finding a cure rather than a drug to try and surpress part of the symptoms of this terrible disease which inevitably can't be halted towards the end of its awful journey.
