POPSTerry pratchett recieves Knighthood First, congratulations Terry Pratchett. Mr. Pratchett has done much to spread the word about Alzheimer's disease. He should also be congratulated for these good works. Terry is a good example that Alzheimer's disease knows no boundaries. It can strike anyone at anytime. Terry is to be admired. He decided to fight and to me this is a good thing. Terry is a good role model to all of us. His wonderful attitude is uplifting to millions of families that know and understand the devastation called Alzheimer's disease.

POPSPatients Can't Recall Their Medications To Tell Doctors I can tell you from experience, not only couldn't my mother name the drugs she was taking, she was not taking them as prescribed. I investigated this when her behavior first started to change and show signs of dementia. Why is this important? Is my belief that if my mother had been taking her hypertension drugs as prescribed she would be much healthier today and the onset and development of her Alzheimer's might have been delayed.
