Why does my spouse with AD experience trouble with swallowing and extreme weight loss?

Are you not getting answers from her doctor? She obviously needs some medical help and if the doctor she is seeing has no suggestions, I'd suggest trying to see a gerontologist, or at least a doctor who has experience with handling these symptoms. They are not unusual with AD.

Did MRI, ruled out stroke. Did swallow test, muscle weak, this causes food to go into windpipe. No explanation for slurred speech. Stopped using Exelon Patch, a month now, sill have weight loss + now he always seems to be angry.
