@@lindidischler1094 My grandmother told me that if she ever started acting cranky, she's no longer herself and should be put to rest. Unfortunately we are all different by 90, hearing leaves, you get that silly stretch mark above your lip, people around us are almost all gone from our past. We really are so changeable just by little things, and that is why it is important to live every day as though it were your last.

I was diagnosed last year and I'm 54. I'm also wheelchair bound. I just sleep cause there's nothing to do and I don't know anyone where I live. I'm scared of what's going to happen. I always want to remember my family and I feel bad for my husband because he's been looking after me since I stopped walking about 7 years ago. He's such a good person and shouldn't have to go through this.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. -- 2 Corinthians 12:9 Reflection The apostle Paul chose to take glory in his infirmities and moments of pain and weakness because it was in those moments, God was really magnified. After suffering beatings and persecution of an indescribable nature, Paul was still able to get up and minister effectively. He refused to be weighed down by any pain that could have hindered or harmed him. He never operated on his own strength; his own human strength and resolve could never keep him going. Paul’s wisdom was great because he knew that he could not boast of any of achievements because it was through Christ that he achieved or attained anything. We are to live the same; knowing that without Christ, we will not be able to face a thing. Prayer Dear God, I experience many moments of weakness in my daily life. I thank you that I can totally rely on your strength to move forward and do the work you have called me to do. I take glory in my moments of pain and weakness, because you give me the strength and resolve to carry on, the same way you did for the apostle Paul and the rest of the believers who proclaimed the gospel. I choose not to give up because I know you are always with me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.Verse Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. -- Psalms 100:2 Reflection The Christian life is also a life about work. As God’s children, we have tasks that He has given us that we are to carry out in our lives. These tasks all revolve around making sure that the world comes to the knowledge of Christ. Every Christian has a part to play. When we do our work for God, we should be joyful in it. Prayer Dear God, I ask that as I carry out what you have called me to do, may I always do it with a glad heart. I do not see this work as a burden but as a blessing, because it is a privilege to do anything for you, Lord. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.Verse Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. -- Psalms 100:2 Reflection The Christian life is also a life about work.

Great video! I believe it is harder for the caregiver than the patient, because we have reality. We see what is truly happening and we can't wave a magic wand and make everything well again. We have to pick up the pieces, pay the bills, care for the loved ones with Alzheimer's, and it can be so hard on us! Caregivers need all of the help we can get to stay healthy! Doing the simple things like claiming our rest, nutrition, exercise daily is a must! Thanks again for this honest video!

Add to that some of us cannot have any life....not even enough to go grocery shopping, pee, sleep, shower... coz sundowning in dementia patients can last all the way to death. I'm so done with this. Had I known, I'd have yeeted my mom into a nursing home. I'm prob gonna die before her, and she's got mere months if not days only. She's determined to take her only child with her (after leaving me in war to protect her STUFF). Not all parents are created equally. Some should never have had kids. She had me for this purpose only.

My husband of 30 years has early-stage Alzheimer's. The biggest problem we're having right now are the mood swings. For no apparent reason, he becomes angry, resentful, and downright hateful; he verbally attacks me. I try not to respond, but most of the time we end up screeching at each other like banshees. In two minutes, it's over, and he's back to normal. Intellectually I understand what's going on, but emotionally, it's very difficult. That hateful person looks and sounds like him, that's part of the problem. It's really hard not to carry the hurtful things he says around.

I took early retirement to be the full time carer of my 88 year old mother. She doesn't have Alzheimer's or full blown dementia, but has become very confused. The caring challenges are very similar in many ways different in some. Best wishes to all.

my next door neighbor has dementia, she gets hostile at times, yelling and cursing and has even attacked me physically when I was working in my yard - we don't go outside much anymore. She has 5 daughters who live locally and they never come around so her husband is her sole cargiver and it's really put alot of limitations on him. I think he has just about reached the end of his rope, she can be very destructive at times and sometimes incontinent, won't bathe, won't sleep in bed anymore, he has to take her for rides multiple times a day to pacify her, his only option is to keep her at home and care for her on his own and I feel badly for him, it's very sad. We live next door and we hear the banging and yelling and cursing alot, we just keep the windows shut and stay inside. It is too bad no other family members give him a break. He has said he misses her, she is still here but she's not, that has got to be awful tough....

Then my nutrition changed a lot, eat a lot of vegetables some fruit peanuts seeds fish chicken some beef. I started to cut my calories lntake especially at dinner time. I take the following vitamins every day, three krill oil's, D three, 1B 12, one CoQ10 ubiquinol and a multivitamin. I am now 58 and I feel great I have had my body scan for plaque and it is clean.

My mom was doing this too - also writing large checks to countless "charitable" groups that sent mailings, many were scams. Also shopping for huge amounts of food even though she ate out most of the time. She has dementia but not Alzheimer's. Developing this was her biggest fear, but in many ways she is happier now. She lives in a really nice community now that does provide more intensive care if she comes to need it, but really enjoys being around other residents vs living alone in a house that was becoming too much. Her apartment has a small kitchen, and my sister and I have to periodically clear out caches of candy from everywhere. Supposedly she is lucky at bingo, but I have my doubts 😉

I am going through this right now with my father and hearing him talk about how his wife was a teacher of painter, etc. etc. breaks my heart because my father was a very smart man. He loved the arts history and everything they had to do with politics, no matter what part of the world it was in And now he hardly talks he hardly recognizes me. He says he does but I know he doesn’t because he doesn’t remember my name. He remember any pictures of us taken three months ago. This is a disease that in order for you to understand the completely, unfortunately, you have to live through it, I hope and pray that nobody in this world has to live with it let alone see your family member or a loved one go through this him and I were not very close forgiven him and I have made peace with myself and I will be with him until his last breathI love you, dad

My mother has this disease. I get attacked verbally everyday. I have no social life because I have to keep a close eye on her. She takes care of herself but she can't hold conversation for 5 minutes. She watches TV but doesn't understand what's going on She believes her thoughts. I know this may sound crazy. She makes assumptions and is very obnoxious. It's sad to see her like this. She has been mentally unstable since the age of about 38. She was never able to drive, imple childhood activities like skating and riding a bike were too big a task for her. Im an only child and it's very hard. I go to work sad most of the time but I try to be strong. My mother is 68 years old. It take a lot of patience. Most of the time I'm in my room with my earphones on to drown her out. She also talk to herself. She hides the silverware. She steal. She don't mean to. He goes on everyday rants. I want to put her in a home but I don't want her to be upset with me.

My husband has dementia, and both of his parents and other aunts and uncles in his family all died from it. One of them was like your mom and had to be put in the nursing home. It's just too much for a caregiver. Remember you have to put yourself first. The stress will kill you. I already have health issues from the stress, so it is a fine line. I'm getting ready to put my husband in a program he can go to during the day which will be good for both of us I think. It does sound like your mom needs to be somewhere, or if you can bring in some kind of respite to give you a break. I know this comment is late, so I hope you were able to get this resolved and you're doing okay.

Dementia is like the person regressing back to a baby. I mean think about it. We start out toothless in diapers and all we do is drool, eat, sleep and poop. The guy at 9:00 is talking about how his wife's two favorite things are to eat and sleep. That is what happens. Life is a cycle.

Alzheimer's disease has truly become an epidemic, and caring for someone with dementia is heartbreaking and can become overwhelming. It's so important for family caregivers to develop a strong network of support and arm themselves with as much education about the disease as possible.

My husband has started showing signs of some sort of dementia after surgery a few months ago. He knows something is wrong, but refuses to go to his doctor to get himself seen about. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get him seen about. He becomes violent and I can't just put him in the car and make him go.

Just saw this video and your comment 3 years later. How are things going now? My husband also had this happen. He was having trouble before major surgery, and then it started getting worse afterwards. At first he was angry about going but I told him if he was violent toward me I would call the police. Then he would be forced to go somewhere for testing. That was the only way I could convince him at the time. After he went, he didn't like the first person. So I found him a new doctor and he really likes him a lot. It is very difficult because his kids don't want to believe he has this issue. They are my stepchildren. I don't have any support from them in that regard. But everybody else, other friends and family can see the difference. His neurologist told me if he blows up or shows any aggression to call him immediately. There's a medication he can give him. I'm not sure what it's going to be though because I haven't had to do it yet. Although it's come close. I hope you're able to read my comment and let me know how you are doing!

@@VM-123 Thank you for your comment. I'm glad to hear that your husband has doctors who are willing to help. I hope things continue to go well. My husband is somewhat better now, but things got really bad for about 6 months. I called the police and adult protective services and I was told that they couldn't help because it was just his word against mine. He did all kinds of things during that time period. So much that I could probably write a book about it. He gave or threw away most of his clothes and shoes . Months after that he called me into his room and asked what happened to all of his clothes. I asked if he had forgotten what he did with them and he wouldn't answer. He was a mechanic for years and had all types of shop tools. He took the largest part of them to the greenbox and throwed them away. When I would try to stop him he would try to hurt me. He went to our bank and tried to fix the accounts where I had no access to any money. One night I'm certain he would have killed me but our son came and stopped the attack. I was beaten from head to toe. The attack scared me so badly that I was afraid to have him arrested for fear that he would get out of jail and kill me. I couldn't leave the house to go to the store or anything because he said he was going to throw my clothes and other things away. He made me take many things out of the house and put in storage. He even took down family pictures that had been up for years. He planned on decorating the house with things people had given him and he had in storage. He would go to my sisters house and tell her wild stories about me. She knows me and knew he was lying. Before things got better he had me so beaten down that I was willing to do just about anything he wanted because I was afraid he was going to kill me and maybe my sister also. I reached out to several of his family members but they didn't want to get involved. He gave his favorite sister a cussing over the phone and she told me that she didn't want to talk to him anymore. I could go on and on about the wild things he did during that time period. A few times I've asked him why he threw all of his tools and other things away and he won't talk about it. Sorry this is so long but this is just a small part of what happened.

As they stage from one level to the next, you grieve all over again. It's called the slow death. It's in my opinion that it would be best to euthanize people before they suffer the last stages of Alzheimer's or dementia. Its inhumane to allow a human being to suffer the way they do. There are different types as well, some are blissful, some are anxious, and some are bipolar with bouts of aggressive behavior. They become a danger to themselves and others. You can reason with them. They believe everything they say as currently happening. They revert back to a baby state of mind. But they have to be cued to do everything or they will not do it or do it wrong. Sad.

its so frustrating that we can't do more to help people with this disease. I get so angry! Apparently our seniors are disposable in todays society. otherwise we would already have a damn cure. It seems like more women have Alzheimer's than men? is this normal! but women usually live longer, and they were the caregivers to everyone else for the majority of their lives. its aggravating and sad. its like us females can't get a break.

Uses cane to assault people. So yes!!!!!!!! Tie them to a chair and set them on the porch.

I have an experiment that the loved ones of a dementia patient can try on the latter.I could be wrong here,though.Semi-fasting.Control the food and drink intake to a point which the patient starts complaining that he or she is hungry,thirsty.While the hunger or thirst persists,ask him or her some questions such as"what day is today?","how old are you?"etc,questions that the doctor asks to determine if someone has dementia.First,ask these questions when the patient is not feeling any thirst or hunger,and later on when he or she is.In the above video,one man says his wife never says"I'm not hungry."This shows that a dementia-afflicted person craves food.He or she may eat,drink a lot,then go to sleep,just as the man in the video says about his wife.Only these two activities,eating and sleeping.This gives me the idea that fasting or semi-fasting may help the dementia patient recover.

why can't he use an entry lock? that makes no sense. I used one with mine and even taped our sliding glass door locks with duct tape. she of course could not figure that out (even though at first she attempted to remove the tape but gave up after a coupla attempts due to lack of attention span). Right you can NOT argue with them so just change the subject they really have no clue. beyond sad when they no longer recognize you. they look at you with that faraway blankness... who are you? this is an absolute horrid disease.
