Her doctor hasnt perscribed any medicine for alhermiers and her husband is just satting there waiting. she is 83 years old what should we do?
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. 83 years old, memory weak. Old age in itself is a disease. SENILE DEGENERATION is a type of disorder in which as age advance patients' memory diminishes. This is natural process. Karachi is an ayurvedic Chat Doctor.  I have tried over many patients. In my opinion there is no any need of tests. Hope I have answered your question. If further any question I will help. Get well soon.
