Hello Cathy:
Way back at the end of July I posted some questions about unknown 
neurological 
and muscular symptoms in an elderly gentleman.  (His frontal lobes are 
atrophied, he can't drive, etc.)
You replied:
CH>Sheila, have they tried giving him Prednisone or Cortisone?  I just saw on 
CH>Medline a mimic of Alzheimers but can't recall what it was.  I do recall 
CH>that whatever it was is treatable.  Also, have they ruled out Myasthenia 
CH>Gravis?  I do lots of Medline searches so with the right input I may be 
CH>able to give you some relevant output.  Cathy.
A man by the name of Don Wiss (I think) has an extensive web page on gluten 
intolerance and suggested that as a possibility.  All the symptoms I know of 
fit that diagnosis.  Obviously no one will know unless he's tested for it. 
Fortunately for me, that's up to his wife and doctor.
As it turns out, gluten intolerance can be mistaken for Myasthenia Gravis. 
Are your Medline searches free or do you pay?  They can be done free, but I 
don't have the web page address handy.  Or to be exact, the abstracts are 
free.  The articles cost money.  How much, I don't know.  If you want the 
address, please let me know.
Thanks for the reply.  I'm keeping it on file.
Sheila
