From: "Byron, Sara" <[log in to unmask]> To: "owner-parkinsn" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 11 Jul 1996 01:11:57 -0400 Subject: RE: I'm back Monica, Your letter could have been written by me! We're looking at the Clozaril option that was mentioned in someone else's post. My dads dementia has been on and off for years, but mostly "On" right now. He is always attending meetings with old co-workers, and is quite concerned with his poor work attendance, which he blames on me because I put him in a nursing home! I have not had much luck interspersing reality into the dementia. Dad thinks it is 1966. That would make me 9 yrs old - but yet he know who my children are... Dad retired in '79, but we are also re-living that decision. Sometimes he will realize how disjointed things are and we all have a good laugh. John Cott. sent me info on CLozaril, and if we start that, it will be in mid to late August. I'll keep you posted. Read the info regarding the problems associated with Clozaril. We have serious low BP already - and are not sure at this point of the route to go. Part of my dilemma is when and whether or not to let the PD take it's course - or to keep up the fight. He hates the NH, and maybe it's better to have all his old friends to talk to! Sara Byron daughter of Richard 79/27 yrs w/ PD ----------
