Suggest Treatment For Cerebral Atrophy
My husband after 3 years of doctoring with memory problems, was just diagnosed with cerebraial atrophy, they are sending him to UW Madison Neurology center but can not get in until February. Will he continue to get worse. in 5 months. Also he has not been able to keep a job because of him memory. He is 60 years old and never had that propblem. Should I see if I can get SS disability for him or will he beable to work after they see him?

it is difficult to comment on the query without seeing the imaging film of the patient. however, usually the cerebral atrophy is not reversible. So if your doctors have told you that the symptoms are due to atrophy, it is unlikely to heal. if there are other associated features like hyponatremia, he may improve.
