Busy, I saw you mention dementia in your post on training. I come from a long line of demented people...grampa, gramma, dad, aunt, cousin, we think my brother was on his way before he died from a sudden heart attack. Now my sister has been diagnosed with early AZ. She knows - she is still here but going super super fast. It's a nightmare of huge proportions as anyone who has ever loved a person going down this tunnel knows.

One sudden glimmer of hope is AI: it has been crawling random study databases world-wide, millions of them - not studies on AZ, all studies on everything basically - and correlating links between them...something a human or even many many humans could not possibly do, ever, as about 10,000 studies on almost any subject are published daily.

So...recently it was discovered that sildenafil had a 69% success rate in lessening symptoms of early dementia...And think about it: the drug has already been through safety trials, it's already on the market. It is not currently being USED for dementia, these details just came out by combing data from various OTHER studies.

Now to find a doctor who will prescribe it for my sister in the correct dosage...

I hope that it works for her.

I saw that on the post as well. Busy, I wish your family well and to not need to worry about this affecting your husband.

Thanks WMH, 6x6. I will keep the Slidenafil in mind. He's not been diagnosed, and would be early, early stages. But, his behavior has been changing.

WMH, so sorry your family has to go through this. It was tough on my husband's family with just his mom. Like your brother, hubby had a brother who might have been going that way, but had a couple of strokes, and finally a heart attack. He was also a heavy smoker.
