That situation is so familiar with us. He had a brain PET scan last month that proved it was dementia. He isn’t doing well now. I think he has had it already for several years before the diagnosis. Does any medication him at all? Would like to communicate with you.

Getting this diagnosis for your husband must come as a shock to him, but perhaps not to you. Had you been seeing signs? What help is being offered to you and your husband since getting the diagnosis?

Your doctor should know the meds for Dementia and prescribe them for him.
My husband has been diagnosed with Vascular Dementia and his doctor told us that the highest dose has been given and that meds for Alzheimer’s has been known to help Dementia. So today I am asking the doctor if my husband can start taking Alzheimer’s meds. I’ll let you know what I find out.
