Can Aricept help memory loss side effects of medications?

We Answered:

Accept is prescribed in situations where Alzheimer's is suspected. ADDING it to to meds. you take that may be contributing to memory loss would probably not be helpful. It would only add more to the chemical "cocktail" already existing in your brain.Of course, your need for these drugs must be part of the equation. However, the only one who can decide this for you is your physician. I am not qualified to give medical advice, and am only going by my own experience. Please ask your Dr (and pharmacist if you like) about this, and take the names and the dosages of ALL the drugs you take with you to your Dr. Don't forget that many over the counter drugs,as well as caffeine ( a drug) and alcohol of course have side effects. Some OTC drugs causing memory loss may include NyQuil, Benadryl, Sominex, etc. Good luck.

help with teaching visually impaired children?

We Answered:

i have a friend who is visually impaired, and its best if you dont draw too much attention to them. if you teach elementary school, keep it very hearing oriented and have any intructions transferred to braille. if you teach middle or high school, have the student take notes in braille and keep it hearing oriented. keep daily routines mostly the same, unless the student has trouble, then you may want to alter them slightly.

We Answered:

There are many companies that sell amplified phones to use in conjunction with the hearing aid to make phone conversations more audible. Here are a couple:

Many deaf and hearing impaired are using SMS text messages, Instant messaging, and video messaging to their fullest extent! These technologies have been a real benefit to ease communication over distances for them. At 84, she may not be very tech-savvy, but many of these devices are fairly easy to use.
