How Can Alzheimer S Be Handled By An Elderly Person?

Thank you. I ve been diagnosed with Alzheimer s recently and am trying to get my bearings regarding, well, everything I need to do. I am on a medication that I don t have with me. My sincere apologies. I can t think of it right now. It s the generic name and it s pretty common. Perhaps Aricept? I am a small business owner, I am single, I am 75 years old, I am in good physical condition. And trying to figure out how to beat this, and if I can t beat it, how best can I handle it? I am very appreciative of the opportunities you present by allowing questions. Thank you. Robin Smith, Houston, Texas 77006, www.therobin.com or e-mail YYYY@YYYY
