T:vascular dementia	Q:Hi friends my girlfriends mom has had Vascular dementia for <time_period> now. She's in her early <age>'s but her mind is still clear in some ways. But for the most part,  her symptoms seem to get a little worse by the year. Its really tragic for me to see my girlfriend suffer as she does.  We live in <location>,  and I know that her mother has been on the same meds for the last <time_period>.  I'm not even sure what it is but I could find out. What I'm wondering is: are there any better treatments out there that could help stop or slow down the progress of the disease. M's mother basically remembers her daughters and sons,  and basic things,  but I believe she thinks of them as teenagers. Also whenever I'm there she generally repeats the same stories over and over again without refrain. She could repeat the same story all night really. To give you an idea of where she's at. But if asked to cook a meal,  or watch tv,  she's got no problem with this.  Thanks! <name>	A:We have another Member dx with this and i hv it as well i was just dx in last <time_period> for the most part im doing good but i do hv my bad daysplz know that this is the disease not her and she cannot help itthere are many things im great at and remember no problem but there is some things that i just cannot get head around. just love her and keep her as happy as possible even though i know it is hard at timesboth my parents had alzheimers and i lost mom first dad within the next year plusi would do anything to get them back. i miss them sokeep posting n im sure <name> will be along as well as othersagain welcome <name>


A:I was first dx with AD at age <age> but <time_period> later I asked to be retested.  It came back with Vascular Dementia plus ADHD.  No wonder I had problems as a child. I'm <age> now still doing pretty darn good.  COPD will be my killer I'm sure.  On Oxygen 24/7.
