    • About Me

      I worked as a nurse for twenty years before a severe head injury caused enough memory problems I didn't want to be responsible for patient care any longer. Sixteen years ago my husband and I realized a life long dream of mine to move to Alaska and build our own home in the "wilderness". We have ten children but only one living in state and our lives are pretty isolated for the most part.

    • Close Alzheimer's Disease

      About two years ago I started noticing changes in my husbands behavior, he has been depressed most of his life but quiet and gentle. Then he started getting more confused and adgitated. He also seemed to be getting physicaly weaker (he is only 54. I sought treatment for his high blood pressure and then saw his psychiatrist about his behavior. He was started on aricept wiht slight improvement, then to namenda with more improvement but the last couple of weeks he has become very unpredictable.

      Treatments

      Aricept Somewhat Helpful
      There was a very mild improvement which was noticeable only when everything went well.
      Namenda Working / Worked
      This seemed to work very well at first but recent events have caused great changes in his behavior.
