By Bob DeMarco Alzheimer’s Reading Room Yesterday I wrote — Dotty Says, Bobby Says. You might have noticed that since early May Dotty has not had a lot to say. When you see Dotty Says in the title box it means that Dotty is more engaged. More connected to the world. For those of you that have been here, you know that when Dotty was in the 6-18 week period during the Dimebon clinical trial she became very engaged. The more I think about it and compare that period to the last six plus years the more it astounds me. To be clear, during that period Dotty’s memory did not come back. Bits and pieces of her personality did come back. Because she was more lively and “more there”, there was a very subtle improvement in her memory. For me. Well, I thought I had the old Dotty back during that period. Not all of her, but enough that she seemed like a pretty good version of her old self. Her memory. Was Dotty’s memory just a little tiny bit better because she was happier and more engaging? I think so. Shortly after Pfizer (PFE) Medivation (MDVN) canceled the Dimebon clinical trial, Dotty became very ill. This happened around May 17.
