Dottore, I have been lucky as I have 2 older sisters that have done great with my mother ( she has Alzheimer's).

Getting our mother to go and start having the tests was a bit of a struggle, it was a long process.

As far as drugs mom has had good luck with Aricept and Namenda. From what I have read these two drugs are used for dementia as well as Alzheimer's. (they just slow down the disease, they do not reverse or cure)

Dottore, we were all guilty of denial with my mom.
