Crushed ....Agreed..... For 10 years I watched a vibrant, successful lady die a little bit everyday .
We tried every treatment up to and including two clinical trials ..
Did Aricept and Memantine slow the progress ??? I'd like to think so, but we'll never know.. EOAD moves at a fast pace. My DW declined rapidly trough the early stages ..All the therapy/ meds available may possibly improve quality of life ...or not ??
One thing is for sure "ground lost is never regained "
I miss her everyday

We all benefit from this kind of work. While there are many "care plans" floating around it will be a big boost to have an "ideal base" that can be built on. Care can always improve and as it does so will the lives of our loved ones.0
