Dementia discussion

vpball1325 · February 16

Hi All,

I am new to this site and wondered if my experience resembles anyone else's. So far, I have had the following tests, which all came out ok. CT Angiogram, EEG Brainwave, Echo Cardiogram, PET Scan, Ankle Brachial, and Heart Monitor. The initial discussion with the doctor is Dementia. Also, what are the common medications people take to improve their memory? I am trying to get a list of questions and things to discuss with my doctor, and I feel like I am flying blind. Thank you so much.

I suggest you try the Alzheimer's Association website in the "Navigate Treatment Options" section, see the link below. I find this presents a useful list of options.

After my diagnosis of AD, I started treatment with Aricept (pill format) and Leqembi (bi-weekly infusions).
