There are two prescription I've tried, Namenda and Aricept, I could not handle the side effects. Aricept caused horrible nightmares , I don't remember the side effects from Namenda. I just couldn't tolerate them. That is all there is. I pray maybe they will find something to help. I pray for strength and peace in our hearts to help us through this horrible disease. Have a beautiful weekend.

there's a good research article: the pathobiology of vascular dementia in the journal neuron, mum's blood tests come back ok but I wonder about the blood supply the brain, as she looks drained, pale and often very tired.
