Hi all.
We've had an feeling for 9 months, but finally, my granddad was diagnosed with alzheimers about a month ago. Hes early stages. When the doctor told him about the memory tablets, my granddad refused to have them saying that hes 'never once even taken a pain killer so why should i start taking meds now' hes VERY stubborn so no chance of any of his family talking him round.
So my question is; without having these memory tablets (not sure what the tablets were called) to help him, will his alzheimers get worse a lot quicker? What will happen to him compared to someone who does actually take the memory meds?
