My husband is taking something too, perhaps Aricept, and it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I think the doctor prescribed it so we'd feel like we're doing something. My husband did fairly well on the memory test a year ago, but I knew at the time that wasn't the whole picture. In these circumstances I believe a neurologist should talk to the relevant caregiver or family member privately. There are things I want to say but not in front of my husband. I'm going to try to send some information to the doctor before his appointment on Friday. It will help me just to write it all down. Yes, this group is a lifeline. I'm also in the aortic aneurysm support group. "When trouble comes, it comes not as single spies but in battalions."
