On Dementia and Vision Effects

[Guest guest]

Terry's neurologist introduced dementia into her Dx at our last

meeting. And, he was quick to point out that there are several flavors of

dementia as well as several causes, all of which manifest in different

ways. He was quite specific that Terry's dementia is NOT due to

Alzheimers. Check out the links at

http://www.parkinson.org/dementiasame.htm on dementia. It is quite well done.

Also, Terry has some minor vision problems; e.g. slow accomodation in going

from bright light to a darker environment, and minor horizontal saccades.
