she may have had sx of early dementia or seemed forgetful or confused at a dr's visit. she should talk to him/her and ask whyt he rx. did she mention if it has helped in anyway?
many of the rx's for alzheimers have very good results with pd and also with tramatic brain injuries and concussions.
aricept has been rx'ed for years, with good results. |
Her husband handles her meds, and consequently, she couldnt tell me if it helped..Her husband showed me a list of all her meds, and he wasnt sure whether or not the Exelon was for pd..I felt like I was walking on eggshells asking him about it, because like I mentioned, the Dr says, take these, and he doesnt ask why..Just tells me.."The Dr says...."..I knew that I had never heard of Exelon, as a dopamine agonsist, or something along those lines..So you are right..She evidently has a dx on mild dementia
