Here is the stack of the 80+ year old.
- GLP1 (ozempic)
- Statin (atorvastatin)
- Sulfonylureas (Gliclazide)
- Ace inhibitor (ramapril)
- Metformin and Sitagliptin
- Beta Blocker (bisoprolol)
- Pantoprazole
- Aspirin (81mg)
- Sometimes use a multi vitamin & mineral, various vaccines etc.
In good health. No issues with blood tests or imaging scans.
Though the issue is more with using computers and remembering how to use it, typing well etc.
To think more logically, better typing speed etc.
They have been using a computer for decades (only minimally, a few hours a week on average) but the skill acquisition does not seem to stick or progress if you get what I am trying to say.
Forget some basic computer stuff at times, which is the most concerning.
Not sure to add to the stack, or try something else. Any ideas welcome.
Maybe some type of computer tutorials for windows or whatever?
Perhaps get a different computer?
They use a laptop and it might be too small for them (keyboard, and screen), perhaps an all in 1 computer with touch screen and bigger keyboard?
Try video games? They were doing a typing game and were getting better at typing speed & progressing, but once they stopped it, their typing went back to using a few fingers to type out whatever instead of using all fingers.
In regards to their lifestyle, they sleep around 6 -7hours, but it’s a bit broken sleep like say sleep from 10pm to 3am or 4am, make a coffee, go back to bed for 30mins to an hour.
Then start the day with more coffee and food. Maybe no coffee after 3pm or so?
As they do use coffee sometimes around 6 or 8pm. 1 glass of wine perhaps 3 times a week.
Energy and thinking is good for the age, but the computer type thinking is not so good.
-Perhaps try a sleep medication such as zopiclone? They do not like melatonin very much due to morning grogginess.
-Do blood test for hormones? Maybe eventually try testosterone if lower than 300 level?
-Any thoughts on other foods, supplements or meds? (higher protein? acetylcholine type medication? Modafinil? more eggs or fatty fish? creatine?
