While I'm Still Sue: Early-onset Alzheimers

[@girlee0303]

She passed away June 5 2022 sadly Hopefully resting peace

[@ninajones1175]

I am watching this is 6-2022. My mother had this. She had 5 kids and she lived with us all at various stages for almost 6 years until at age 56 she "rebelled" and left our homes to live in a tent at the lake. We could not stop her because it was her "right" to live as she saw fit. She had been an alcoholic in her younger years but had been sober for over 17yrs until then. She began to drink and 1 night she nearly killed a man in her diminished capacity and at 56 was placed in a nursing facility. We had family who worked there so we watched her closely but in her lucid moments it was horrible because she had no friends there really and knew she was too young. Also, we had to address several medical issues such as mammograms because she was still so young. The disease progressed and at 71 she passed after shattering her hip in a fall out of bed. We had really lost her years before. God blessed us at the last day that she knew us and was able to say goodbye. I remember it all so vividly. The decision to place her and mostly the decision to not resuscitate and let her go. It was so very hard but also such a blessing that we had gotten to have that moment with her. My prayers go out to any family dealing with such horrible diseases no matter what they are but especially for the most cruel. The ones that rob them of their minds or trap them inside a body that can longer act under their control. She was ready and would have hated to have lived in that state if she had had a choice. Cherish every moment. We only are gifted with 1 set of parents. Love them. Call them more. They think of you every day. God bless you all.

You have to pin a note on your mom that says, "I may be lost. I have Alzheimer's. Please call my son if I am acting strangely" and then add your phone number. That's what we did with my grandfather. Then you can relax and let them enjoy their walk. 💙💙

That’s because human life span is increasing with each generation. By todays standard 50 years old is not even classified as “senior citizen “. Centuries ago people were dying in their 30s and 40s... unfortunately even tho human life span has increased.. our health span has stagnated.. many in the medical field nowadays are considering to tackle the process of biological aging itself in order to increase our health span and prevent age related diseases.

I'm going through this same thing right now. I left my job two years ago when my Father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. My Mother is also disabled - she suffered a brain injury after a hit and run. My Father used to take care of everything for her and now he can't because of his Alzheimer's. I am an only child, so it's up to me to take care of them. I have a family of my own as well, a husband and two sons. It can be really hard some days. Having to see my Father slipping away day after day is really hard and completely heartbreaking. Thanks for the video... it helps to see other people going through what you are going through.

My father passed away on February 15th 2016 of Dementia, my mother passed away this January 25th of Dementia. I was so fortunate, they passed before the worst part, it was a blessing. It was extremely sad to watch the baffled look on their faces, at that point when they understood there was something very wrong with them. I call it the walking death, because that is what happens, it is so cruel. As their care taker I was constantly blind sided, as things could change from one moment to the next!! I consider myself lucky to have taken care of them, I can live with the fact that I did the best I could for them!!

[@juliadixon4810]

Yes. That look. I saw it on my dad as he stared into the refrigerator for several minutes, seemingly unaware of what he was looking at or why he was there at all. Having been an LPN and worked in nursing homes, I was the only person who knew what was happening. Four years later, he was dead. I hate this miserable disease.

This is great! My grandmother also developed early onset dementia, now considered frontotemporal dementia. It happened so fast and it hit the family so hard that none of us had a moment to think. 5 years later, she sits here at home with the treatment of a queen thanks to her wonderful husband, 2 kids, and myself. It hasn't been easy, in fact, I'd say it's been the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I'm 24 years old and my life is on hold for my family, and I wouldn't have it any other way. My suggestion to anyone who cares, cannabis has done amazing things for some people, it needs more recognition worldwide. Thank you for sharing this story!

I wonder how much forgetfulness is stress induced with anxiety and the belief of failure. I've been living with anxiety and depression for all of my adult life, I've been taking meds since I was 19, and when I go through hard spikes I can't remember any incoming information. It's just a hard focus on the physical ailment du jour. My wife just reminded me yesterday that she'll be out of town for her mother's birthday this weekend. She claims she told me twice this week, but my mind was focused on work that's approaching due dates, and I don't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday. Stress plays a huge role for sure.

[@ed7519]

M. Ouija : Stress doesn't cause Alzheimer's Disease. It's a disease where the brain deteriorates, shrinks, and doesn't function anymore, and eventually, can't function enough anymore to keep you alive. So depression, and anxiety isn't related to Alzheimer's Disease. Visit Alz.org for more info.

[@lightsoutisay]

@@ed7519 I think he was making this point because I also caught that statement in this documentary. The son Adam did note that stress and trauma help bring this disease on. I don't know if this is true or not, but it was the first time I've heard this.

[@Paula_Shelton]

Alzheimer’s isn’t caused from stress, especially early onset Alzheimer’s. It’s usually genetic, which is not good news for her kids.

[@rowansidhe3239]

my CPTSD has had a huge impact on my memory. I used to be very academically gifted because I had great recall and as I got older my memory got worse and worse and my grades suffered as a result. I was always someone who tended to misplace things or forget deadlines but now I barely remember the names of my coworkers in other departments even though I shop at my work all the time and they wear name tags. by the time I was 16-17 my mom often had to read my assigned textbook to me or I’d just reread the same two paragraphs for hours without absorbing anything. I frequently forget my own birthday and I rarely know what day it is. it’s strange how PTSD affects the memory: I can recall decade-old traumatic events like they happened a few minutes ago, but I have to set alarms to remember to walk the dog.

This story should be shown to all Alzheimer caregivers, patients (who want to see it), all medical students, and all medical providers (especially Palliative Care, Geriatrics, Neurology, Family Medicine, Psychology, and any other specialities who care for memory loss and dementia patients). I am so proud of Adam's maturity and how he has altered his lifestyle, developed a keen knowledge and understanding of dementia from a layperson perspective, and devoted his life at this time to caring for and spending time with his mom. He will cherish these memories for a lifetime and seeing Sue's smiles with him in the obstacle course, when Adam tells jokes, when she volunteers, and when she is in Europe lights up my heart and soul with love, happiness, and excitement. This film reminds me of my experience caring for my mom before her death from Stage 4 colorectal cancer. She also lost her memory and had some types of memory loss during her last months, so I do understand an iota of what Adam and Sue go through together. There is nothing I cherish more than my decision to care for my mom, and spend as much time as possible with her, after her diagnosis. The trips to hospital where I drove her, the conversations where I cried and she comforted me; she cried and I comforted her; and we comforted eachother discussing life and the future and how we would miss eachother were the best of my life. She was also named Sue. I am so happy Adam made it happen and made Sue's dream of travel come true. Adam, if you read this, I am so proud of you. I wish my mom lived longer so instead of being 21-24, I was older and more established during her diagnosis. I would have loved to have her live with me! I am a bit jealous. And the opportunity to do that travel - amazing. You are empathetic, wise, caring, thoughtful, and put others before yourself 100% Adam. We could all learn from you. You are doing an A+ job as a caregiver, child, and friend. You ARE giving your mom a full life by giving tour mom experiences, getting her off the sofa, getting her volunteering in the community, and making her laugh. If she does have to go into a care home, you can still do that. There are also some memory loss communities and day programs in the US; see what your mom is qualified for as you research online for options in NZ. This is the best story I have watched on KZbin in 2020. Best wishes to Adam, his son, his girlfriend and most of all Sue. Thanks from the USA, @Attitude, for these uplifting stories of living with differences and maintaining happiness and dignity.

Yes, a brilliant and loving son. She must have been a really good mom. Rarely do I see a grown son so loving and generous. His wife is beautiful! Thank you for this video; it helps to see good attitudes and loving hearts in the midst of it. God bless.

All my respect for this wonderful man. God bless you Adam!

[@lotrgirl275]

My grandma, when asked, was completely against my uncle - her son - taking care of her like that. Once it gets to washing, cleaning certain parts properly, changing them daily, watching them deterioriate, etc. is when the real courage comes in.

[@coppercassiecampbell6077]

What an absolutely WONDERFUL son..I can't sing his praises enough.

[@jaynieraindrop4862]

Sue has raised a fantastic son and i love how much he loves and takes care of her, both are lucky to have each other . . also Adam is showing his son how to treat a woman Fantastic!!

I have vascular dementia and I use images instead of words, I cannot remember the words but I still know what an object is or what it does and I know what I want to do.

[@ashleyfaye6087]

This entire documentry is amazing, he is an amazing son and she is a beautiful women. Made me cry so many times through the video because it was so beautiful ♥️♥️

[@rubyred6954]

My momm is in the later stages of dementia. She’s elderly but physically she’s pretty darn good. I privately cry an ocean of tears everyday. I’ve given up friends, outing, my job- it’s a lot but I love her so much and I can’t bear of strangers taking care of her. No one can care for her like me and my brother is a huuuuge help. Just because I’m home 24/7 wirh her and yes it is very hard to give up any social life but nothing compares the the loving mother she was to us and therefore nothing can convince me to put her in a home. She wouldn’t have left my brother and I if we were sick and here in her little home she will stay. She will stay in her house til the day she goes to heaven. I know how you all feel watching your loved ones suffer through this all I can say is remember the beautiful person they were and that helps carry you though the hard days 🙏😥💜😌

[@jennycrabb9235]

Thank you 😊 I understand how you feel my mother has dementia I moved in with her almost 2 years now and it’s the most hardest thing to see your parents get this disease..... And she doesn’t want to face the fact that she has it and she’s in denial, I have other siblings but no one can help and I’m the closest one. I am still working part time and I know there be a time when I have to quit my job to take care of my mother. My prayers to all of the family members that have to take care of their parents may God bless you all 🙏🏼

[@KatherineSchmied]

Don't worry. God is with you and your mom and he will give you the strength and patience to handle this. God has a purpose for everything. My prayers for you.

[@jennycrabb9235]

What a wonderful attitude he has in taking care of his mom and address and her Alzheimer's. He is such an inspiration. And he takes after her!

[@ncnorthbound]

You are an amazing son. You will never look back with regrets. God bless you.

God bless you for loving your mom so much and changing your life to take care of her....respect from Canada

[@tarpleyk9352]

❤ It's so nice to hear her laugh. Thank You for being there for her. I love it...the laughter. I miss my dad. 💜💙💜

[@barste08]

The relationship you have with your mum is amazing 😉. She has raised a rare 💎 gem of a son!! I am her age with 3 children. My oldest son is 31 and has Down Syndrome. I am an ultrasound technologist but now permanently disabled with arthritis. I’ve had my knees replaced and a lumbar spine fusion. My son is quite high functioning and goes to the gym for a few hours every day. He cooks and eats very healthy foods. Together we are a great team and I can’t imagine life without him 🥰. Life is not without challenges and obstacles. Overcoming them makes us who we are. We are strong in our faith and God helps us through our struggles.

[@maureend6515]

What an amazing and caring man he is! Not many of them around sadly. May God bless him

[@sandracmyers]

Oh this MAN she raised....Well DONE Sue.....God bless you beautiful people ..

[@aprilrutan3608]

Thank you for opening up your life and sharing the most private information. As with all the wonderful stories and families on this channel, thought the situations can be sad or a struggle, the families and the stories are all very informative, helpful to others in the same situation and all have uplifting parts that put a smile in my heart. Bless you all for allowing me into your lives and to Attitude for for putting out these stories! Many blessings to all of you!

Thanks for your kind words April! We really appreciate your support and I will pass on this comment on to the team. Thanks again for watching and stay tuned!

[@lisavivola5988]

This lovely woman has truly been blessed with an incredibly kind, loving son. He is a gift. God Bless you all.....

[@Vindi1961]

Wonderful Video - Adam is a loving son, father and caregiver - he treated his mum with respect and dignity and did so in a very loving & nurturing way. Sue was apparently a great mother, as it's obvious that Adam was well raised and taught to be the man he is. Giving back isn't always easy, but from one human being to another, thank you for doing what you did for your mum. Thank you for realizing her fears and being there for her at a time when her ability to cope, think, and live for herself were being taken away from her. God richly bless you for that!

[@AttitudeLive]

Thanks for watching, glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@newlife8610]

I too have Early on-set Alzheimers, was dx at age 49 yrs old. I have 3 adult daughters & they live close by but don’t come help me much at all. I find it very hard sometimes to ask strangers to help me when I’m in public. But I want to get out sometimes. So glad you took your mom in & took her traveling.👍🏻😃

[@ms.williams6009]

PinkRoses wow, Sorry that you don’t have the support that you need.

[@premiumaccount6904]

I hope you are doing well

[@nmc398]

What this young man is doing with his mother is inspiring.

[@ariessweety8883]

Oh my gosh, I'm in tears here. I know this woman just loves her son soo much... The way she looks at him. She's very proud I'm sure to have raised such a kind young man. I have a son who's 21 and I look at him the same way, with pure pride. I am not struggling with this horrible illness however if I did or if I ever needed help in this way I know my children would do the same for me as Adam is doing for his mother. Also I will take care of my mother in her old age, iv always promised her that. I personally would never put her in a care home. I'll do whatever it takes to keep my mother with me. In no way am I putting others down who cannot take care if their parents in their old age, so do not misunderstand, this is only my personal choice. I realize not everyone can take care of their parents full time. It's ALOT of work, I know first hand how hard it is, as I've worked in nursing homes over the last 15 years. It's not easy. This is such a sweet story. It really tugged at my heartstrings ❤️.

[@stellaorvad2519]

Thankyou for sharing your Mum's story. You are are wonderful loving son..and your Mum must be so proud of you. I am in the first stages myself..and I am frightened...and this will be me soon..only my name is Suzy. Your Mum is beautiful...I hope she has a peaceful journey..I hope we all do. Thankyou young Man for being such a wonderful son to your Mum xxx

[@AttitudeLive]

Thanks for the kind words Suzy, we wish you the best and hope you have family to help you with your journey! Thanks again for watching!

[@Noslenirol]

To mom: What an amazing son you've raised. I'm so heartbroken at your diagnosis and it scares me a little since I'm your age and have some short term memory problems... but my daughter in law and son have already picked out a nursing home for me. They said under no circumstance would they care for me, although my son said he would before he married. 0You are a wonderful son and your mother is blessed in spite of that horrible disease. I watched your video with such joy of how well you take care of your mom, yet balance your personal life. I hope her disease had a very slow progression since you both seem to have such fun together and she needs you so desperately.... especially while she still remembers things. You are a phenomenal son with an amazing mother. (I say this with a tear rolling down my cheek) You are amazing! 💕

[@shobajayaraman8627]

Such a precious precious son!!

[@khonkhosilelihle7414]

This is beautiful. That is exactly what I would want to do if I had Alzheimer's. What an amazing son. Any updates on how she is doing now?
