My mother Dorothy, now 93 years old, suffers from Alzheimer's disease. For those of you that have been here for a while, you know that I am adamant about the importance of finding a personal care physician that is fully familiar with Alzheimer's disease. In fact, I believe this is the most important decision you will ever make in a fight against Alzheimer's disease. Sadly, our incredibly competent, loving, caring, personal care physician--Dr. Carlos Chiriboga--died last week. Carlos Chiriboga was a young man. He is survived by his loving wife, and three young children ages 3-12 years old. Dr. Chiriboga died from a complication during surgery. His death was unexpected.Subscribe to The Alzheimer's Reading Room--via Email It would b...

This list may help identify any that may be involved with your treatment. There are number of ways that medications can interfere with sexual function and satisfaction.
