Lost my father long before he died. That's the nature of this awful illness. I could only watch helpless as a giant of a man was brought to his knees both mentally and physically. One touching, and almost tender aspect to it is the tendency for sufferers to regress to their childhood memories. This disease will be curable in the near future, though if the Christian fundamentalists get their way that could be set back years if stem cell research is banned as they are trying to do.

Very touching, i had a neighbour with Alzheimers and it can be scary and sad but never lose hope...i saw something recently where people who had been in a catatonic state were awoken by accident with sleeping tablets (of all things) so there is always hope, all the best..take care.

Carole, I don't know if you know but Aricept and Abilify are two very different drugs. Aricept helps slow down the decline in Alzheimer's and Abilify is an antispychotic drugs that can help with psychotic features of dementia or calm some behavioural problems. Your doctor was correct in that it is believed to increase the risk of stroke in people. Having said that, I have never known any sufferer have a stroke on these drugs!

I been playing benifits in care center long before my mother came down with that awful disease. This video is very touchng and very real. Rod

I want to become an advocate for my dear friend Bob! I have suffered so much and he as well! He is in the last stages I believe!
Alzheimers is a pig of nature robbing all of our loved ones of everything!

I hear that the medication 'Aricept' has had pretty good results

Yes, my mom had taken that drug. Another drug which was given to her that I really seen better results was called Obilify. Sadly the doctor took her off of it for fear of stroke. That drug really seem to spark her memories back for short times. Especially when she firt awoke. I take vitamin E & C as I hear it is good prevention.

I'm sorry to hear about your Grandmother and if it was hard watching this video, I think I understand how you must feel. Other videos I have watched rather spark up memories. You take care and thank you for visiting. -:¦:-
