I am 48 years old and I have those Symtoms, Yet don't want to know for sure, Because it scare the heck out of me

@lanebashford3982 Жыл бұрын

My 90 yr old mother has all of these symptoms. We have suspected Alz for the past couple years. She has fulltime home care (me) and my sibs and I will work to keep her out of a nursing home. She is still eating well, conversing, playing puter games, enjoys her tv shows, helps with baking and laundry because she wants to do it. Mom is also fully ambulatory. She is 100% supervised and we will let her enjoy her life as is for as long as possible. Thanks to the doctor for an informative vid.

At 73 I have worked all my life as a carpenter. I am still dragging a tool bag around.I can't do the mega physical stuff from back inthe day, inow work 4days a week in a home for people with dementia. Sadly there are some people who are a little younger than myself afflicted with this condition. I have heard it said they call it the long goodbye but as I go about my day I have found that just interacting with people can bring about such great rewards.

I have MCI, and I’m 54. I have a lot of these symptoms. I was very aware that these things were happening, but it was very hard to get help because of my age and the fact that I was aware of it. I don’t get a lot of support because people don’t believe me because I don’t fit the profile of someone who usually has this disease. I also try really hard to keep myself together and it comes across as nothing being wrong with me.

I'm sorry to hear you're having symptoms at this age. You may want to look for a support group for MCI; esp if you look online, you might be able to find other people in your age range. You could also look to see if there are any trials you might participate in; I believe there are trials for MCI included at www.alzheimers.gov/clinical-trials. Good luck!

My husband has several symptoms, like walking into the room, tell me a story, and then leave. Come back like 15 minutes later and do the same. He drove me off this morning at a store, I asked him to pick me up 2 hrs later,, he went to a different place where we usually park the car. We argued because he kept saying he was waiting for me and after arguing, I asked him if he could remember where he dropped me off, we are talking about 6 hrs ago, he doesn't remember. Right now, it's like 5:30 pm and he was to go to bed to sleep. He sleeps like about 14 hrs or more a day. Your intake?

My wife was diagnosed medically last year at age 58 with moderate dementia. It took me two years to get her to agree to a neuro assessment, but looking back I am sure she was presenting symptoms for at least five years earlier. Her Neurologist told me my wife was the 3rd youngest patient he has had in 30 years of practice. Bottom line is dementia can hit even young people and you may think the symptoms are something else. Horrible.

your not taught this in america or most places or on tv but almost all health issues are casued by nutrition deficiencies and are easy to fix within a week. Nutrition ivs and nutrition injections supper effective in healing reversing health issues. you heal reverse dementia/altimers by myers cocktail iv and b12 injections. you get dementia/altimers because of b12 deficiencies. for example japan has the lowest rate of dementia/altimers because they health care system make sure there citizens get enough b12. You check your nutrition levels with thourough nutrition blood tests only functional medicine mds will do that and they know optimal levels not reg providers. anybody with health issues the root main cause is nutrition deficiencies. mental health issues, headache issues sleep issues balance issues the list goes on and on and its becasues of nutriton deficeinces. myers cocktail iv, vitamin d injection b12 injection, gludathione iv coq10 injections will heal and keep you at optimal health year round thats what pro althetes and rich people do year round. just type in google nutrition iv therapy near me. go get them done and start healing quick nutrition ivs and injections have been around since 1950's its a hidden secret casue there super effective and cure. anybody with altimer/dementia should do myers cocktail iv and b12 injections watch how fast they improve.

And stress, anxiety, depression, medications, lupus, and other neurological issues. My husband passed away 2 years ago and I was his caregiver for 13 years. The last year and a half of his life was filled with him being abusive. I've been left with a house that is falling apart and depression, and anxiety because I feel that I didn't do enough for him because we were fighting the evening before he passed. 8 years ago I started having seizures. I have lupus and spinal stenosis. I have trouble getting words out, have tinnitus (apparently because my brain is shrinking if you read MSN) and my memory will fade every once in a while. Reading and listening to Alzheimer/Dementia signs made me question my cognitive deterioration. I told my neurologist about my fears and was give the Montreal Cognitive Test...supposed to be the "gold standard". I'm writing this because I had gotten good advice and that was "don't listen to Dr. KZbin and don't listen to Dr. Google. Be open and talk to your GP or Specialist.

You are correct. For instance, an individual with undiagnosed and untreated dyslexia will often struggle unsuccessfully to voice an intended word but will come close. For instance, such a person trying to find the word "ocean" may instead say "lotion." If this is something that has happened the person's entire life, it obviously is not a sign of early dementia. One of the excellent points of this video is that family and physicians must see the patient as a whole and not as a single symptom.

While we understand these signs now, there is no cure for dementia or Alzheimer's, my clever and smart Mum started developing these signs at 82, but she was aware where it would lead to. While she did puzzles, crosswords kept active and ate good food and was a social person, it eventually got to her and she passed away at 89. It was difficult for me to see her deteriorating and understand this disease. My aunt too, Mum's sister-in-law, got the best help as she lived with her daughter who was a Nurse and with my Uncle who looked after her, but could not stop her passing away at 86.

I'm so glad I found this information ! My best friend since we were 14 year olds ( met in parochial school in1961) was going out of her way with comforting emails after my beloved dog died. All of a sudden - no more communication whatsoever ! it turns out she has dementia, which is really freaking me out. Her daughter says all she does is sit in front of the TV all day long, which of course, is NOT GOOD NEWS. I am three months younger than she is, and have severe balance issues and forgetfulness (like going into a room and saying to myself "what did I come in here for ?") I sometimes can't immediately remember the word for something and will say something like "can you hand me that thing ?" which makes my husband irritated, that I didn't at least TRY to remember the word. Do I have the beginning of Alzheimers or dementia ? PLEASE tell me what your opinion is - it troubles me to no end (I'm 77 years old, and would go see a doctor if you think I really should.) THANX

In 2009 my grandmother was admitted into hospital and the doctor came to see her he ask my grandmother what year it was? She replied April 1936 then told me to get some coal from the outhouse and to fetch food from long closed shops and told me to ask her step father for money. But she didn't know my dad or my grandad or me but could remember names of neighbours from 1936 so surreal. My grandmother died a year later after having a stroke.

i experienced something with my mother in 2019, that struck me as a possible sign, maybe more acurately a "late warning sign", since she was 85, but it was "early" for me. I was taken aback, it was so odd, since my mother had such a sharp mind, on the whole. This might help someone else put things togther in their own experience. it was this: i was working on helping her setttle in, after a move, one she said would probably be her last move. She had a painting, on thick cardboard, and i noticed it had separated. The back part that had come apart was clearly covered in black mold, and needed to be thrown away. I casually showed it to her, and said, " This goes out, right?" and much to my surprise she kind of freaked out, and snapped at me to leave it alone. I tried to reason with her, being utterly surprised, but she was firm, exasperated and told me to put it down, to leave it there, on her patio sofa...... She also had frequent trouble with her phone, her hearing and with the internet/her computer, and looking back ( she passed away last year) i now realize she was probably struggling with this for a few years even before 2019. She would often claim there were computer problems, and be out of touch for awhile, and I didn't take it too seriously since she lived in an enclave where she would be checked in on regularly, and also, was a person who really liked her privacy. As it happened, it was to be her "last move", and though she had in mind to move again in 2021, it was not to be. ❤‍🩹

Many people have only around a dozen really great stories about things they have experienced in life, and they enjoy telling them - especially with people they have only recently met. It is a way of being entertaining and covering up nervousness. It is only when they start to repeat them with the same audience that we might think they are having mental difficulties (or, at the very least, that they need some new writers).

My wife started developing alzhimers in her mid 40s and survived it for almost 20 yrs and left this world in her early 60s last year. This nurological disorder is heridetial in her family. My father in law , my brother in law and my sister in law all died due to this disease. Now , unluckily we are expecting it for our young genration also. Basically alzhimers is failure of the nervous system in human body. Nerves started perishing and the brain cells started dieing , ther first result appears as loss of memory coupled with anger and the patient start repeating the things. It grows with time and the patient forgets to take a step or sawollo a bite. The patient can not controles the urine and stole and the last stage is quoma for the rest of life. Alzhimers is of 7 stages. Each stage is of 2 to 3 years. From stage 4 things start taking a difficult term. Bad habits like showing angee or becoming stobern appears. And the hard time for the family also appears. Which increase with the passing days. Alzhimers can not be reversed or controlled even. If the patient is lucky with proper medical care the stages can be prolonged. If the patient is more lucky the alzhimer stops at any stage but it is very vvery rare. Alzhimers is normally taken for dimensia which is loss of memory only. Dimensia is symptom onlt for an alzhimer patient. Infact our brain controles the whole body through our nerveous system. When the brain and nerveous system is not working then the function of our vital organs heart liver kidneys lungs etc are also not undee controle and do not work. Their failure cause quoma and death ultimetly. I am not a docter but i remained stucked with my wife for almost more than 15 years at home and did not wenr out. I did the house hold , raised my childern and managed everything. The things i learned in this time , i am sharing.

Seriously, this was very useful info to have, as we have a friend recently diagnosed with early Alz, but at this point her main symptom is short-term memory impairment.

Early signs: 1) Who are you? 2) I did not eat anything today. 3) Now if you pinch a patient, the reaction is “uff”. You ask what’s wrong? The reply is “ you pinched me”. 4) You ask have you been cleaned? The reply “No”. ~ now you wonder “how come”. 5) You ask: where is your spouse? You hear “ She/He died” when the person is in front of the patient. 6) You ask tell me the colours of a rainbow!! You hear “ black and white” 7) You took a red shirt and hold in front of the patient !! Ask the patient “ can I take this”! To your utmost surprise you hear “ No, that’s my favourite”. 8) At what age a person shows the symptoms? With a team members it’s obvious to ask for language assistance if participation is mandatory and in case “ brain dead “ symptoms are predominant in the team.

Good information, but I must note that I disagree that memory loss as you age is not normal. Researching other information disagrees with memory loss as you age not being normal. People should not worry unnecessarily. Even my common sense would tell me that as you age your skin changes, your hair changes, your body changes, and of course your brain will change as well.

He would say that visiting the Doctors office and it was heart breaking.

So sorry for your losses. Some older adults are indeed very aware that their memory is having trouble. I usually reassure them that this is common and then try to redirect their attention to something that helps them feel better about themselves. It's important to validate their concern if they have it, but then we need to find things to say that help them feel better about the moment they are in.

What to do to prevent Alzheimers?

@BetterHealthWhileAging Жыл бұрын

If you are seeing many warning signs of early Alzheimers, at that point it's generally too late to prevent it :( Prevention works better for people in midlife. I don't have a video on that yet, but may be able to do one later this year. The most important things are reducing risk factors for cardiovascular disease (e.g. high blood pressure, high blood glucose, high blood cholestorol, smoking), reducing inflammation in the blood and body (which is often related to nutrition, gut health, sleep, stress), getting regular exercise, treating any hearing loss as early as possible, eating the "Mediterranean diet" (lots of veggies, fiber, healthy fats, nuts, fruits), and having soul-nourishing social relationships. Being cognitively engaged in your work or in something else that keeps the brain challenged is also good.

Can a person with MCI also have problems with pronouncing words or use incorrect words to describe something? When I try looking into MCI and how it affects language I only find vague answers or results of aphasia.

@BetterHealthWhileAging Жыл бұрын

I recommend you watch my video explaining the difference between MCI, Alzheimer's & Dementia: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2nCnICVd7aEjsU There is no particular way that mild cognitive impairment (MCI) affects language. MCI means a person is having some kind of difficulty with some form of cognition, but overall the difficulty is not bad enough to affect independence in usual activities. The most common type of difficulty is memory, however in some people, it might be language. Using the incorrect word often sounds like a cognitive issue. Difficulty with pronounciation could be cognitive or could be related to the nerves and muscles related to speech having some kind of issue.
