Medication
Hello I am very new at this. Not sure if I am posting correctly. I am a only child and my husband and I sold our home to move back home to care for my 95 year old father and mother 91. I have been doing this for 4 years now without any help at all. I noticed that my husband of 36 years was forgetting things and getting confused when doing projects. We went to a Neurologist and they did several tests and we got our results last week. He has early stage alzheimers. I am devastated and have no one to help me. The doctor has recommended infusions but he does not want to do this because of the possible side effects. If anyone has gone through infusions, Did it help? It would help me to hear from someone who has been through this. I dont know anywhere else to turn for help. Thank you in advance.
