My husband has mild dementia & started taking Aricept in late August. His memory has improved greatly & he's been able to focus as he contacted so many businesses to become sponsor's for Lawton's first walk. God has been so good to him!

Dear Folks, this is indeed a nightmare that can be apart of Parkinson's. What helps me, is I write down everything I have to do daily, then I attach and write in a large Daily Planner, the exact things i must do.The planner has the entire month;s space as to all the appointments and so forth. Then I always try to put my keys in the same place day after day. However try to be of good cheer,even normal people can't remember too ! Hugs, Pam
