Hello Helen33
I am afraid I am very disallusioned with hospitals generally - afterall the National Neurology Hospital in London are supposed to be the leading experts in this disease. They said we should continue with the Aricept - goodbye!!!and that was that.
On our last visit to the local Memory Clinic the lady there who tested him said she had been doing this for many years and she found David quite unique in that although he has severe communication problems, he still looks after himself (washing etc etc) and this was most unusual. This is why I have always thought that perhaps it isn't Alzheimers - I suppose you can live in hope - time will tell!
Take care
