encephalitis
by marta56, Nov 28, 2007 12:14PM
My relative has encephalitis one year ago. She has recovered but does not feel the same. She is experiencing short term memory loss and some confusion. She tries not to become too stressful and to rest when possible. The las mri she had was in march. Doctor says says she is improving, but based on whar criteria? Shouldn't there be more cognitive tests done? She was given prescriptions for Ariceipt and Nortriptyline. She is very upset as Aricept is associated with Alzheimers. And I did read one article posted 1997 re memory loss from encephalitis in a ten year old. Have there been documented cases of success within the last ten years with ecephalitis and aricept?

As I have told in my other post that Aricept is used to improve its cognitive function and not for Alzheimer’s.
Bye.
