My husband has been taking
donepezil for awhile but doesn’t help improvement with memory. I am going to take your advice and ask his neurologist for a blood test.
He does work outside because we have a lot of trees and he cuts them up and takes the wood to the forest in the back so the woodpiles don’t get so large. He also does work inside to help me. I do notice he is taking more naps during the day but he needs to because he works so hard.

We discontinued the donepezil when my husband's short term memory was worse. He does take a low dose of citalopram now for anxiety. My husband loves to nap or sit in a darkened room for long periods of time. The neurologist told me that's part of the disease - so I don't try to get him up as much as I used to.
