Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hi all, I must share our good news. Our 32 yr old daughter with a clinical diagnosis of mitochondrial disease had been doing very poorly. She went for 6 months without knowing who we were, did not speak, had significant dementia and could do nothing for herself. On a lark her neurologist tried her on Aricept and she improved some. He then added Namenda to the cocktail and she has improved dramatically. She knows who we are, carries on simple conversations and can feed herself. Today she put a 25 piece puzzle together and was able to go riding and out for a sorbet treat. We are overjoyed with the improvement. We have no idea how long it will last but we plan to enjoy it while we have it. Just had to share. Shelby, 's mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
