T:<age> and diagnosed with AD	Q:Hi Everyone - Most of the threads I am reading all deal with seniors and their families that are effected by AD. Does anyone have advice for me. I am <age> - my husband is <age> - we have twins that are <age> years old. I think I have come to terms with the diagnosis - <num> mg of <medicine> doesn't hurt either. I have stopped thinking about the things we won't share as we get older and don't wake up thinking OMG one less day - My mindset is THANKD GOD - another day with him - I love him so much more than words can say - I also think my husband has - his take on it - I can't control it so I am going to take one day at a time. He reads constantly and just finished our taxes and did a great job. He keeps very active. He is currently on <medicine>,  <medicine> and the <medicine>. He also has chronic neurological lyme disease. I wonder how much of this is the lyme too. Does anyone have any advice or wisdom to share with me.  <name>	A:No,  I am sorry I don't have any advice,  but I wish you the best. It is devastating,  I know. I am so sorry.  <name>


A:Why is he on <num> meds for AD? generally its <medicine>, <medicine>, OR <medicine> with <medicine>. not all <num> at the same time.  Maybe the <professional_practitioner> thinks more is better. NOT! 


A:Hi <name> How are you doing? Why not all three - he seems to be holding his own. Is it dangerous


A:Not sure if its dangerous but iffy i would think. I'm holding my own on <medicine>(<medicine>). But then I have vasular dementia. According to my <professional_practitioner>.  I'm doing great. 


A:I would be asking the <professional_practitioner> why all <num> as well. i totally agree its a bit iffy as <name> put it . i wish you all the best n plz keep us posted.  <name>


A:Hi  <name>, I am <age> and suffer from nuerological lyme disease like your husband. I spend most of my time on the lyme and ms forums and dropped in here expecting to find a mostly senior group discussing the challenges of AD. I was not expecting to see your post here as you guys are roughly the same ages as my wife and me. My uncle was diagnosed with early onset AD at age <age>. Sometimes I wonder if perhaps my uncle might have been exposed to lyme disease at some point in his life. Have you posted your husbands issues on the lyme forum?Are you comfortable that you have a definitive diagnosis of AD? Praying that your husbands issues are lyme related.  


A:Hi Betterhealth - Yes I have been on the Lyme Disease forum and have had a great experience with all of the people there. Very knowledgeable and caring. I am learning to deal with the diagnosis of AD. His grandfather suferred from it. It is/has been devasting news to digest. I have learned many things about AD. <name> having neuro lyme (encephalopathy) is one of the things that can cause early onset lyme. Plus he had a severe head injury when he was <age> years old. Hit head on by a drunk driver and spent several weeks in the <institution> with head trauma. We have twins that are <age> years old. A boy and a girl. I don't tell them much - not sure they need to know right now. They take great care of their Dad. I have the mind set now that every day is a gift. Take Care,  <name>
