Judge it!
MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN ON ARICEPT AND NAMENDA FOR 5 YRS. HE HAS BEEN EATING LITTLE RECENTLY - AND IS RAPIDLY DECLINING IN EVERY WAY. I CONSIDER HIM IN THE FINAL STAGES OF THE DISEASE. IS ARICEPT STILL ADVISABLE.

maary,
I've read that Aricepts effectiveness declines over time depending on the patient. Have also heard that switching to Exelon Patch, when it does happen, helps improve symptoms. If you find out more on this, please post! |

Daily Horoscope for December 26
Gemini
Mercury will backtrack through your finances over the next few weeks, which isn't a very seasonal thought if you're already well aware that you've overspent this month. Be prepared to do some juggling or to seek expert advice if you're worried about how you're going to cope. You may be kept busy handling inheritance, tax or insurance matters, preparing investment analysis, and allocating funds for the repayment or collection of debts.
