Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and I would try my best to help you.
I have noted your grandmom's clinical details. Based on this, she could be suffering from dementia. In dementia, people have memory loss along with other brain dysfunction.
Medicines such as donepezil and memantine can help.
In addition, she has low vitamin D levels and hypothyroidism, for which she needs vitamin D and thyroxine hormone supplements, respectively.
