Guest guest Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hi , Well, sorry you have to be here, but glad you're in the loop with us. My husband was on the Exelon Patch for about 4 years until his death, and I noticed a positive difference to the end. Since he was so sensitive to medications, I had the doctor keep him at the low dosage for the full time instead of working up to the full dosage. It worked well for my husband.

Well, today his doctor said he has symptoms typical for PD (confusion problems), but since he was developing them more quickly than most, he feels he has LBD in some form. Believe it or not, it's actually a relief. He's prescribed Exelon, which should help him think more clearly, and now we know the demon we must fight. It's much easier making plans when you know what you're up against. > > I guess now I actually belong on this loop. > Bummer. > C > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
