Support Groups
Close Alzheimer's Disease
Stage: AdvancedFor support and sharing with other caregivers to an Alzheimer's patient.
Treatments
- Fish Oil Working / Worked
- I think this helped at first . However, he can't take them now (advanced) because he tries to chew the capsules and doesn't swallow them.
- Namenda Working / Worked
- I think Namenda is well tolerated and helped in the early/middle stages. Now, I can't tell. He is declining rapidly. I understand he will decline faster if this medicine is stopped.
- Razadyne Working / Worked
- This med probably helped at first in the early stages, but he is declining rapidly now - so I can't say if it is helping now. I understand from Dr's that he will decline faster if we stopped the med now.
- B-Complex Vitamins Working / Worked
- Helped at first earlymiddle stages.However it made his urine have anodd odor.
