Hubs is supposed to start on B12 according to his doctor to help with cognition. Doubt he will take it.
What level ?
Hub’s doctor finally agrees that he needs to see a neurologist for a MRI. He is resisting any exam or meds. Doctor wants to rule out several possibilities… basically FTL, early onset ALZ or tumor. So close to a dx and yet so far. Any advice from those who have been there?
Lynn, my friend told her LO that his MRI was necessary because the doctor needed to know what kind of medication he needed and the MRI would help with that information. He probably has Frontal Temp… read more
I am doing well and writing my 6th children's story!
My husband was told to take vitamin B12 several years ago, at his first neurologist appointment.
When I receive email notices of posts on this site, I'm getting a page that says: "Oops! Looks like we can't find that page!"
Can this be fixed?
Perfect, thanks!
Was he ever on psychiatric drugs like Haldol if so could be TARDIVE DYSKANEASIA if so Austedo is good for tremors.

How do I handle her objections and possible emotional resistance? How do I handle my emotions reactions and loss? I have been taking care of her here for four years now. We have… read more
@A myALZteam Member, the folder you made to introduce your husband to the staff is an excellent idea.
My dad lives about 4 hours away. Recently, he was in the hospital and found out that the doctor is recommending more care. We are considering moving him to our house. I have heard that patients change when there's a change in the environment. This would be a huge move for my Dad. Sell all his vehicles, have an estate sale, sell his house, cattle, and everything in his property. Find homes for his cats that aren't friendly. We were going to sell his truck and pull from his IRA so he could… read more
My dad is now living with us. It's not an easy task that's for sure!
As already stated, checking with a pharmacist to be sure that mediation able to be administered crushed is the most common way. If the person with dementia is able to swallow, they can be given pills… read more
