maybe from age 85 to age 93(died) - i believe he also took namenda
i think he had a normal alzheimers decline. he had other health ailments too, so whether he died from alzheimers or just from 'age' ...idk. I mean his death cert said end stage dementia(?) Regardless i will say it was a slow depressing decline....
my mom has dementia also. started symptoms around 2010? and now she is pretty bad. her memory is about 10 seconds +/-
she saw a geriatric dr back in November 2017. But she did NOT start my mom on any Alzheimer drug. Perhaps its because she is ALREADY advanced.
maybe the drug could help slow down someone who is otherwise healthy and is of a younger age.
edit - for my dad, once i could tell he had memory problem, he never got better. he always got worse. so it was a long years of slow going down hill

It did nothing at all for our LO with Alzheimer's and her husband won't take her off it because he really, reeaally wants a pill to fix this.
