Really good idea, I am just at the point of starting to accumulate examples so it will definitely help to write them down. I am finding that my husband is also having major issues with attention, tasks that he has routinely done for deacades get started and abandoned, even something as simple as setting the table for dinner. He is also seems to have a low grade agitation all the time. What has been traumatic is how quickly and dramatically this has happened, which definitely makes me wonder if it could be med related as prior to starting Atenolol in the spring he was not like this. Thanks for your very helpful thoughts, and best wishes for your continuing journey, J.

The meds part is so confusing.
My husband's primary physician took him off a med he was on for about 3 months. He changed so drastically his doc took him off those, yet didn't prescribe an alternate. The meds were not supposed to improve cognition, but they were supposed to keep him from getting worse for up to several years.
Sometimes I feel like I know more than his doctor, just from reading these posts the last few years.
