Have Short-term Memory Loss, Cognitive Issues. Taken Medicine For BP. Treatment?

I have a family member who they believed may have suffered a TIA a couple of years ago. She is now suffering severe short term memory loss as well as some cognitive issues. Is there no real way to treat someone suffering from TIA. The doctors at the time said the MRI and brain scans did not show a stroke so they really assumed it was a very mild TIA. She was given meds for her sever BP but that was really it. Again she now several years later is dealing with this memory loss. Neurologist can't really say anything other than it looks like she may continue to get worse until she may not have any memory. Is there any hope that she could get better from this?

Hi, it appears that she might have ischemia of the parietal lobe where there is center of the memory lies. It may or may not have relation with the previous attack. M.R.I., and color doppler may show some clue whether some thing can be done.
I to my patients with such symptoms prescribe, glutathione besides neurotropic drugs.
I also advise her to take green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proteine rich foods, for general neurological recovery. Thank you.
