Default Spheramine

My mother was one of the phase IIb study participants. At the time of enrollment, she was scoring 89-90% on the activities of daily living scale while medicated. Within months after Spheramine she went into a nursing home unable to walk, bath, dress, toilet or feed herself. She was one of 2 patients enrolled through UCLA. The other patient died.

She suffers from hallucinations and has to be restrained because of them.
My mother has spent almost 2 years in a nursing home, in the dementia ward, in restraints due to spheramine and yet is aware of her situation. I wouldn't wish that experience on any living soul.

The records attribute her decline and hallucinations as certainly due to the procedure and probably due to the spheramine.

The informed consent states if you are injured care will be provided at no cost to you. This is not the case. To date none of the cost of care has been paid.
