My husband, 61, with early dementia has had two rounds of Prednisone for poison ivy. He suddenly was clear thinking, able to complete his taxes, was alert all day and a talked completely normal! Anyone else see this phenomenon? It was a stark contrast to the previous months.
I would not take this long term because of the side effects. I would bring this to his doctors attention though. It is not unusal for someone to show signs of Dementia at 61 but he is young. Maybe he has been misdiagnosed and there is something else going on here.
Do know that for medical issues your best path forward is to discuss this change, you and your husband, with his supervising physician.
