I left my mail for several days planning to get to it when my cold was
better. My cold is better and 17 letters asking about Aricept are gone along
with the Email addresses, so I am sending the information to everyone.
My friend Alicia was having  memory problems, she forgot names, dates and
places.  It was not so bad that she could not function well but she was
worried about it and made an appointment to see a neurologist. He put her on
the drug Aricept because there was the chance that she might have had
Alzheimers.

Her memory improved a lot.

When I saw the same doctor for something else I asked if her probllem could
not be caused by CD.He was amused as that was nothing her had ever heard
about.

At my appointment with him two weeks ago he had done some reseach on it and
discovered that it is being used by some doctors with CD patients.
There are some side effects that usually disappear in a few weeks. Alica did
not have any of them.

There is no information in most books about it yet because it is so new but
your pharmacist should be able to give anyone more information about it.There
is probably also information about it on the internet.

I do not know anything more about it and the doctor is over 40 miles away.
Alicia  can make speeches and find her car keys again.
