Mild Cognitive Impairment

Posted by RHB @rhb, Nov 11, 2011

Diagnosed in 2010. 8 months later through intensive program and medication tests show no further deterioration. Are there any others out there dealing with this diagnosis?

In October, 2011 I was diagnosed with frontaltemporal dementia and it affected my cognitive functions. I, too, am looking for someone who has been down this road who can give me some information

Sorry to have been so long in replying to your answer. I moved about 4 months ago and am just now getting my compu. back up. To answer your question, no, I have not heard of this drug. I am on Namenda, which I think is pretty standard. Don't feel any better but no worse either, so I guess I am holding. That's ok as long as I don't get any worse, but I don't really know what to expect.

Sheila: How did you or your doctor pick on Namenda? I am curious about the process leading to a decision like that in the context of my being very cynical about doctors who generally are not themselves sufficiently knowledgeable about the study/trials that lead to drugs. I am always weary about side effects which doctors really do not have much of a clue about except the "warnings" that cover every conceivable side effect possible. I guess when it comes to health and disease like AD it seems to come down to hope, luck and risk taking. Good luck with your new move.
