Hi Jen, My dad is 55 (nearly 56)and was diagnosed with WKS about 11 months ago, he literally lost his memory overnight (he had been ill with sickness and...
Thanks for the reply. My dad turns 62 in June. He was a heavy drinker 10 years ago. This whole thing took me by surprise. I think my dad must have started ...
Jenn, He sounds pretty much like my dad was last year (I'm not saying that your dad will progress the same way as my dad but there are similarities) My dad...

Whispering nook I can't even begin to imagine what your going through. Surely your dad has medical notes about WKS somewhere? WKS isn't rare (well thats what...
