1 Early signs of dementia

Arlene Phillips talks to Professor Graham Stokes, Bupa's Director of dementia

[@carolgiangreco6548]

Also, people are sometimes over-medicated. Mom's "neurologist" increased her Parkinson's meds until she no longer knew where she was. A kind and knowledgeable nurse recognized the problem and gradually weaned her to half of the dosage she had been taking and she was fine fine fine! The nurse also recommended a competent neurologist and mom lived another decade free of dementia.

My mother never forgets anyone’s names she had 10 children. Early signs I saw was she didn’t have a lot to say she loved to chat and I would call and she didn’t seem to want to talk about much. Then when I visited I would notice her staring at the floor and not really watching the TV. She loved to read and stopped reading books that was a definite sign for me. Then one day she called me and asked me where she lived. It is the saddest thing to go through, to watch someone you love lose themselves but mom has a great spirit and smiles everyday. I miss our old chats but I know she is still in there.

Severe anxiety and depression can have similar symptoms of dementia because your mind is in a “perfect storm” of rumination over So many things. This in turn can affect your memory and you definitely have thought blocking.

My grandma who passed away last year at the age of 72 thought I was her son, eventhough I was her grandson. She sometimes would tell me to go to the washroom and do my stoll. I thought she was having a flashback from her past. When i went to visit her in 2018 she was normal. Her lifestyle was toxic. She would always be laying down or sitting down and barely got any sunlight. I felt she was so isolated. Sometimes your environment can have such an impact on your well being.

I would suggest that discussing the issue of dementia with your parent, wife husband, etc is NOT a good idea. I have done this with my mother and this has generated significant conflict and hostility so much so that our relationship is now toxic. There is no one else to make decisions for her, see that she is ok. My brother and sister who live over seas aren't interested. I feel so alone and desperate trying to do what is best for her but I am getting nowhere. My mother's memory and cognitive ability have suffered significantly in recent years but she herself refuses to accept this. She can and is frequently extremely hostile and on occasion has lashed out at me when I have tried to help her. I feel so alone and desperate in a lose lose situation. I just wish I had the mother I once knew as a fully functioning intelligent woman.

[@johnlawrence2757]

It’s very tempting to get old people diagnosed as dementia sufferers. Younger people - even those in their 50s and 60s and no matter how eminent and well trained they are do not understand how aging changes the mental processes. What is needed in most cases is adaptation of procedures. Just as an old person can’t run to catch a bus any more so it may not be able to speak as fluently. And for the same reason. Energy is required for both. Free use of vocabulary is not something a young person thinks of as requiring energy, but then neither is bounding up a flight of stairs. And even if words do disappear for ever it’s not necessarily a sign of dementia: Old people tend not to concentrate so hard: we need to retrain ourselves to focus on what we are actually doing, as we tend to wander off mentally. And if we haven’t been concentrating, then we haven’t “remembered” it’s Not that we have “forgotten” It’s that we never bothered to remember in the first place. Getting lost is serious of course. Someone who can’t find their way home obviously has a problem. But forgetting words, even names is what we oldies are good at. My grandmother kept forgetting her children’s names but she functioned fine till her death. You start subconsciously prioritising your use of energy - all remembering requires energy, as I said, and if thingummy will do why bother?

[@deborahthomas3539]

@John Lawrence. Thanks for that insight. We used to stare at my grandmother’s, as they named off the whole family, when they were addressing one of us. My mom does it and we laugh at her. I started doing it, in my 40’s. My kids would stand there with their hands folded. Like the rest of us, they know who is being addressed. They stand there and smile at me. Even the 3 year old!! I obviously don’t see the humor, when I do it! I chalk it up to frustration. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@jewelmarkess]

I think there is a difference between not being able to remember a word in conversation and then have it come to you later vs not remembering how to call basic things. One time in conversation, I wanted to say that my cousin sent me some marzipans from Germany, and I forgot the word "marzipan". It came to me halfway into the sentence. Occasionally, a word I know very well just doesn't come to mind during the conversation, but it comes back later. I think he means forgetting very simple everyday words that we use every day and doing it often. For example, my late father who had Alzheimer's call a disposable razer a "scratcher" or call a charger "this thing that give heat." One time he was searching for "black and round". I couldn't figure out what it was. It turned out to be a roll of black automotive tape. He wanted to use it to fix a hole in his slippers. I bought him a new pair. He also forgot how to use a tv remote and a regular landline phone. Also, people can forget today's date, but asking what date it is many times a day, sometimes 15 minutes after someone answered is a problem.

He has had some B12 injections in the last 12 months but has missed a few. Of course, not going out of the house for 18 months also took its toll, mentally and physically.

Both of my mom's parents passed of alzheimers / dementia. My mom is 62, not diagnosed, but she has some early onset symptoms which are very surprising and often frustrating. She often talks talks talks, sometimes asks me a question, I begin to answer, she continues to talk and I have to wait for her to stop talking and stare at her with my eyebrows raised until she looks at me and says, "What?". And I have to tell her, "You're doing it again. I still don't understand if your hearing has rapidly declined or if you just choose to ignore me everytime I talk. You ask me a question, I try to answer it, you talk over me, and then wonder why you still don't know the answer to the question. You also don't answer my questions half the time, and just ignore me." I thought for awhile that it had to be her hearing, but she shows no other signs of hearing loss (doesn't watch the TV or listen to music on a louder volume, doesn't ask people to speak up when she's on the phone). She also had a ten minute conversation with me which turned into an arguement when I was explaining to her that the time of her online Zoom meeting with someone in the UK (she lives in California) required her to subtract 7 hours from the UK time in order to find out the CA time of the appointment, but she insisted she needed to add 7 hours. I explained it several times, each time in a different way in hopes she would understand but she was very insistent she was right. Also, one day I was driving with her in the passenger seat and got in the lane to turn left. We were at a stop light about 2-3 minutes from home. As soon as I got in the left lane she angrily shouted that I can't go that way. I just looked at her with huge eyes like I was pissed for a few seconds and told her I didn't appreciate her shouting at me, especially something that is 100% wrong. She argued a bit more until the light turned green, I made the turn, and she was able to recognize something on that street... My dad just sat in the back seat quietly because he has terrible hearing haha.

A serious subject. I am elderly and when I read the signs I have most of them. The most irritating is my slow recall.Searching for a name or whatever and can’t remember.Then what I have been mentally searching for for suddenly pops into my head a while after the event. Really frustrating . As regards memory I think doors have something to do with it. Every time you walk you walk through a door the slate is wiped clean! Sorry I jest it is a serious subject. I understand Alzheimer’s doesn’t usually Occur after the age of 64! It’s other forms of Dementia that occur after that age. I really think we live to long.

[@bereal6590]

That's a very interesting take on things. I've often thought the same about longevity, I have thopposite problm in my fam most die b4 60 and the remaining few lived very long to 90+ a strange dichotomy. I won't be one of the ones who goes on and on but those that have the dementia is then a massive stress to them a caregivers. I agree with you I think we do live too long, early death is awful but unless you're extremely health and mentally on par it's then too long. It's refreshing to hear someone say the same. I've family who are forgetting and it's going to be a huge strain personally I'd rather for myself have the option whether I wanted to continue or not(but I think that's controversial), but it's how I feel having suffered ill health myself 😊

This is sad but true.

We would have her 1 month here then one month at my sisters home so we had it a bit easier than a lot of caregivers. She struggled with it for 11 years but there was always a small piece of her there. It is hard to care for someone with progressed dementia but it was hard raising us from babies through those sometimes troubled teen years. She did not Ignor us or make us fend for ourselves so it’s not just a “ nice” thing to do it should be an automatic decision for your parents or other loved ones.

I support euthanasia for Alzheimer’s and seriously debilitated people with dementia. However, I also believe it is an individual choice which should be made before such a devastating illness takes hold. As for my precious aunt who had Alzheimer’s, I felt the real crime was in keeping her alive as I watched her suffer with with pain, fear and confusion.

I have noticed in elderly family members, that they have almost no short term memory. A simple task can be explained to them, and less than a minute later they will ask you to repeat it, several times. Also they will tell the same story from long ago, or ask the same question numerous times during the same visit. I feel this is the brain doing what it can still do.

[@Kasperx138]

eh some of them just have nothing else to talk about. it’s not like they went to a party over the weekend.

[@deborahthomas3539]

Short term memory is lost. Long term memory stays in tact. They may forget who their children are at times. I agree with you, I feel this the brain doing what it can still do. It’s sad watching someone fail away like that. I hope I don’t develop dementia when I get older. I have seizures. They have wiped out my long term memory. If I eventually have it, I won’t have any memory.

I've always neglected it but i just failed my semester and i don't know if i can continue pursuing anything with my poor memory.

[@Kiki-7]

That sounds more to me like depression, anxiety or ADHD. I often feel things are being deleted from my memory. Please seek professional advice. It is extremely rare for someone in your age to have a form of dementia. The more you stress about these matters the worse it will get so the sooner you can get an diagnosis the better you will be able to process and adapt your life for it, whether it is medications or treatment or therapy, CBT therapy is very helpful for mental health illnesses and I personally highly recommend it.

Hello Jennifer How are you doing today?

[@wendypetersen7529]

My father is 95 and has signs of Lewy Body Dementia. He has hallucinations and delusions. He doesnt have much memory loss. The dr. insists it's Parkinsons, but he's been hallucinating for monhs, and we only recently discovered the slight tremor in one hand. The police brought him home last week at 3:30 in the morning- he was sure someone had gone into his room and told him to evacuate - then he was wandering down the street looking for us. He is absoutely certain that it really happened, and refuses to accept that he's having hallucinations - he blames the police for bringing him home and writing a report because the fact that he was up at 3:30 a.m. wandering doesn't strike him as being odd at all. As I understand it, with Parkinsons the tremors come first and then down the line the hallucinations start. With my father it is way the other way around.

[@solamano7239]

My father passed away aged 94. He was mentally alert till the end. He did though go through a period when he suffered from delusions as a result of medication prescribed for a prostate problem. It was very alarming and had started so suddenly that I suspected his one new medication. I read through the information supplied and there it was: can cause hallucinations in one in a thousand. He was a "lucky winner"... We stopped that medication, it wasn't haven't much effect on his prostate problem anyway, and his hallucinations stopped as well. He was convinced that some hobo was crawling under his bed every night to go to sleep. Very strange, the different scenarios... Perhaps you should read all the info on each of your father's prescriptions to see if hallucinations are a possibility. Doctors are familiar with the most common of ill effects from medications but not all.

[@Sandy-nm9oy]

Solo Mano said a doctor isn't familiar with all side effects of medicines, but a pharmacist is. They would be a good resource to check for possible side effects from your Dad's medicines. Good luck. My Dad died of Alzheimers. A horrible experience for everyone involved.

I’m sufficiently scared. A friend of mine gets so annoyed with me when she brings up something that we talked about yesterday, and I have no clue as to what she is talking about. Anything she brings up to me -- where we went, what we did, who we saw, etc. a lot of the time I have no idea of what she is talking about. She could say something to me now -- and in 10 minutes bring the subject up again - and I don’t know what she is talking about. Now I am pretending that I know what she said to me. It is less painful than the look or the frustration she gets when I tell her that I don’t remember. My mother died of Alzheimer’s at 87. I’m 68. (I think ) Does anyone think that I should be worried ?
