Does ginkgo biloba help?

A myALZteam Member

I can't say how it affects people with Alzheimer's but I have taken gingko biloba myself to improve my memory. It made me more paranoid and sensitive (I'm schizophrenic) so I stopped taking it.

CBD And Low Dose Lithium
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

We still have not been able to see the 'memory care' team, and won't until mid November, and still don't have a formal diagnosis, just test results. I have been researching on my own, I have seen articles about using CBD and sometimes including THC and also low dose lithium which seems to have some ability to work on plaques and tau. Anyone have any experience with this. The most severe damage for my husband indicates that there may be a propensity to outbursts and violent behavior as this… read more

My Husband Is So Confused In The Morning
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

My husband has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, early dementia, but is so confused and tired in the morning. He perks up around noon after lunch and by evening is doing "well". In the morning he may ask "what's happening to me?" or say he feels lost. I guess since he's diagnosed as "early dementia", then I'm confused with these symptoms. He has been taking Aricept and Namenda.

Any Ideas On Sleep For My Dad Throughout The Night?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

My husband still hadn't put the switches up. I'm not electronically trained to do this. We had bought some dusk to dawn night lights. My dad did something with them. Haven't found them or his light good jacket that he put somewhere.

I have been giving him 10 mg of melatonin. Apparently my husband just told me it's not working! All this week, I thought it was working. So much for communications! It was my husband's ideal to bring my dad to our house. Now he seems totally against it… read more
