[quote=Anonymous]I just want to say that you shouldn’t quickly assume that the dementia is unfixable. Here are some things that I’ve seen in elderlly that cause dementia symptoms but are totally curable: — vitamin deficiency (I think especially b12), many elderly have trouble absorbing vitamins — medication overages — a relative was losing weight and ended up with too high a prescription of her thyroid medication which makes one super paranoid — loss of sleep — another relative got put on medication that caused insomnia and started acting really crazy with low level sleep psychosis — vascular constriction — another relative’s symptoms improved drastically after having the vascular arteries cleared off clogging There’s also a brain condition where spinal fluid collects and causes dementia — it often charaxteristically causes a shuffling gait. Doctors are very quick to write off symptoms in the elderly as Alzheimer’s or dementia but there are many other causes.[/quote]
