Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Hi my Ontario friends. I spoke to my mom's doctor today and we discussed memantine coming out. He's happy to have mom try it but he did inform me that it may take years before our government cheese approve it and pay for it. So, it's coming out of our pockets for a while yet. I'll have to discuss this with my dad and see if he's up to coughing up the bucks for this one. I wish I had more money so that I could just run out and pay for it myself.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Wow Jim. I was just reading this article last night - I'll be keeping my eyes open for the results of the Canadian trial. I've been a member at Ageless for a while now. They collect all this wonderful information about whats happening out there for dementia (mostly AD). It makes me feel better that there are lots of people working/coping on/with some of the same issues we discuss here. Thanks though.
