What were the first signs you noticed?

He doesn’t take any medicine. He took statins a few years ago but said they made his head feel funny so he stopped. The neurologist gave him Aricept 5mg but he started having very vivid dreams and stopped taking that as well. The neurologist didn’t even speak to me, so he isn’t aware of the other behavior. I am going to try to get him to see another neurologist, but he doesn’t acknowledge any problems at this point.

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it.

Hello. I was able to let my husband's neurologist know about his vivid dreams and lack of REM sleep. I asked about Melatonin. It worked miracles. He also uses c-pap and that helped as well. Everyday is a new issue or another problem . Sometimes it's a lot to deal with..but it all works out in the end! Accusations, Delusional mean comment's. We talk about about it and sometimes he apologizes. My spouse said we had to stop on green lights then turn, forgets where certain physicians are I took the keys and I drive. I would like him to be alive as well as myself. Now he cannot drive for another medical problem. I was relieved. We have been married over 50 plus year's. I want my spouse back..but life does not promise a rose garden. I appreciate all of you, more then you know. Hugs and Thank you! I know I am not alone.
