Portraits of Patients: "DON"
"Don, a 72-year-old retired chef and WWII veteran, lived alone. He was cared for by a neighbor. Increasing confusion and frequent car accidents brought him to Dr. Steven Treon.
When Dr. Treon first saw him, Don didn't know the date, the time, or even where he was. He repeated stories, got lost often, and claimed to be looking for his parents.
Dr. Treon diagnosed moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) and prescribed EXELON. Because it can improve a patient's ability to perform activities of daily living, timely treatment with EXELON was important for a patient like Don, who needed to get by on his own.
It was Spring when Don started taking EXELON. At Christmas, he suddenly figured out why he was taking it and began reading about EXELON. Don has now been on EXELON for close to a year and continues to do well. He has returned to work part time—baking cakes at a restaurant in his hometown!
Don is an excellent example of how EXELON can enable patients to continue activities they might otherwise have abandoned—and even resume activities they had given up..."
