Hi,Kaye! My name is Heather. I was diagnosed with Korsecoff Syndrome
about a year and a half ago. I just read your e-mail about your
father. I'm really upset at the facility your father is in right now
for allowing him to make his own decisions regarding how he spends
his money. I know it is his money, but right now, he is in NO
position in deciding how to spend his money. Having Korsecoff
totally skews your decision making. I had to move back to my home
state of Minnesota after I was diagnosed. I was SHOCKED, as was my
family, to unpack a supprise of new cloths I had acquired while
under the influence of Korsecoff. For some reason, the brighter and
more out ragious the cloths were, I bought them. It's interesting
because I was really drawn to bright and funky colored things. I
don't get that way anymore though. Has your father experienced
thinking he knows everyone from somewhere before? This was a real
problem for me at first. I thought, and was convinced, that I knew
the stranger that I had just met from before. This went on for about
6 months after my seizure. It doesn't happen to any more. I'm not
sure why. My memory is getting better though. I've been on the drug
called Aricept, taking a multi-vitamin, vitamin B-1, vitamin B-12
and vitamin E. I hope some of this information can help and best of
luck with your recovery. -Heather
