My father developed dementia and some of my siblings took advantage of him financially. I live in a different state but I got conservatorship and moved him into my home to protect him and care for him. Yes, some things were challenging, but he was delightful and I was blessed to have him with me and it was my honor to take care of my dear beloved father. (I could never put him in a nursing home, not ever. I don't understand families who do.) He was with me for almost 10 years before he passed, 8 years ago today. I miss him every day. He always told me, "We will all be together again someday." I believe him.

[@erniemitch9922]

@@friedasenior2805 if you're wondering about the stages, there is (unoffically) undetected, mild, mid and late stage. New research suggests Alzhiemers and Dementia starts 10-20 years before detection and once they are detected there is already so much damage from the disease the medicines can only slow the progression. From what I remember, once the mild stage hit he really liked shiny things and got frustrated easily. He knew he wasnt remembering things correctly for about 1 year until he hit the mid stage. The mid stage he changed, he started forgetting words and numbers, he couldn't really play his card games any more and got very confused after sunset. (Also known as sundowning) He was still himself but would go through bouts of confusion and could only preform his habits from years ago. He stopped talking as much. At late stage he couldn't even brew his coffee. He slept most the time and was afraid to bathe and had a hard time walking. At the last stages the brain basically forgets how to swallow so eating was difficult. He forgot people's names and was confused to where he was even though he lived with us in our home for 8 years at this point. He stopped really talking at all at that point but he could put down some liquor. 😂

[@erniemitch9922]

@@friedasenior2805 He would ask where his dead brother and parents were and we would say they are at the store or visiting his aunt. Think about how devastating it is to learn a family member or friend died. Imagine being told that for the first time again and again. He may forget the facts but the sadness stays and he wouldn't understand why he was so upset so there is no comforting them. Hallucinations are common at the mid to late stages and you cannot argue with them because that is their reality at the time.

Do some aerobic exercise outside (get some walk) to improve your blood circulation in your body and it's important to get your complete body systems in getting oxygen from your top (brains to all internal systems) to the toes. If you do some dancing with music to have fun regularly, then you forget that you are doing the sports, by the way AND you have some socializing opportunities to be in touch with people around you. If you combine your fun activities with going to the fitness studio regularly as well, then the elderly people's wobbly skins and the muscles get more back in place as we look younger. Plus, your subconscious mind might be working on benefiting your eyes sights and your hormones to be improved by getting some other type of vitamins that are not prescribed on any pills. Imagination and your creativity help to switch from the negative depressed angry minds to the positive minds afterwards, if you take your initiative actions to do some socializing to communicate with other people. That way, you live longer with healthier mind, body, including your soul. The best possible place to do your aerobic exercise is at the "Outside" and "get your sunlight for your skins and for your internal organs are seriously looking forward to the actions of getting pumped up fresh nice clean oxygen" to explain extremely diplomatic ways in the shortest version of the most advanced scientific results of their studies for us all who want to hear the most quickest and the best efficient way to get us all healthy. Of course, eating well balanced minerals, healthy food, and avoid some sugar contained fluids possible to consume really limited amount of daily doses for your best interest. Alright?

That’s why rational suicide makes sense. Look at peaceful pill and the final exit material.

He lived to be 88 years old but the Alzheimer's really devastated him. What I want to say is his dementia reminded me of the book or the cartoon Alice in wonderland. When Alice was lost and she sees a sign don't step on the mome raths and the dog with the broom on its face is brushing away the path she needs to follow to find her way home. That's what it was like for Teddy. As if someone was erasing the day before and the day before that and the day before that someone was erasing his life backwards. He could remember sitting with his father listening to Orson Welles broadcast of the war of the worlds in like 1939 but he couldn't remember my name and we were married 43 years.

I rack my brain to know what the best ways to speak to her are. I live far away from them. My dad is at the brink so not easy. I remember how when she was 45 or so she wouldn't finish her sentences. I never thought it might be an early sign. Today she is 72 and hardly recognises people around her. But she is able to repeat what I say on the phone seconds after hearing it as to acquiesce. I wonder how a multilingual is affected. She has trouble reading at normal speed, when she speaks to me she reads my name of the screen of the phone many times as if wondering. She has all the terror episodes of not wanting to go to bed with a stranger and so on which is the hardest to deal with for me. She was going to day activity centre but somehow now she doesn't want to or something went on she isn't telling. Their life in winter is too monotonous. I try to tell my dad not to let her watch the news. It s like speaking to a dark hole unfortunately. If you need a case study, I might be your best card 😂, a cousin of mine and I started enumerating the number of aunties who suffered the same. Anyway, good luck to all and I hope you stay strong 😊🙏

I didn’t know,” and, “I’ve never heard that before in my life,” which would be funny if it wasn’t so frustrating after the 300th explanation, and when the last time was hours ago.

MCI? I first noticed about age 60, remembering where I parked my car in a large lot (Wal-MU) was a non-issue in my youth. At 67 I attended Real Estate Licensing Classes and passed the State Exam BUT at the end of each class I had a headache and I need to make an effort to remember where I park the car, it is no longer a given. At 70 I'm still high functioning BUT my memory is definitely not what it was. Information (memory) once accessed in an instant may now take several seconds to retrieve. Conclusion: I am fortunate to be comfortably "retired" and I know it is time to get busy on that bucket list. I have several friends in their 80's and few venture far from home. Note: I just finished reading a book and realized I must have read it years before, I didn't recall much detail but I knew where the story was going. Go figure? Cheers

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.

[@LynnFo]

I imagine most of us are watching this in order to find out what we can do to prevent Alzheimer’s from happening to us. I certainly am. What little I know is that physical exercise is just as helpful in preventing Alzheimer’s as mental exercise, especially exercises involving balance (yoga?); it’s good for the brain. And most of all, I believe we need to stop eating the typical American diet of processed foods and start eating lots of vegetables as well as healthy fats. Look what’s been achieved with the Wahls Protocol (paleo diet): people with multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases getting markedly better. It’s amazing! There’s no miracle cure, but surely natural foods, exercise, de-stressing, restful sleep, and connecting with other people form the foundation for a healthy old age. It’s a lifelong project.

[@marycull3607]

@Lynn Forrest. My beloved Mother died from the effectos of Alzheimer's. She stopped eating and then she stopped walking, because her legs just went. She love walking and used to walk up to three miles every day. She always exercised, didn't smoke or drink alcohol. And she always stuck to a healthy diet. I know walking is good, I walk a lot with my dog and it makes me feel good. Mother had a lot of stress in her life. As my Brother in-law did also. He always walked and exercised. And he too went through a lot of stress in the high profile job he had. I'm wondering if extreme stress has any relation to them both getting this disease.

[@jacquelinearcher1158]

My late father was active …and eat home cooked meals …walked …and did puzzle books….and still had Alzheimer’s…

[@djondjon]

The typical American diet contributes to inflammation and the manifestation of disease. Among other things, there is a lot of sugar in the American diet; and Alzheimer's is also referred to as Diabetes Type 3.

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

Agree 100% Your brain can only be as healthy as you are. Good nutrition coupled with regular exercise (where you breath hard and sweat a little) goes a long way to preventing dementia and many other health problems.

My mom told my grandmother that she would care for her as long as she could make it to the bathroom by herself. I think this was a good criteria for families giving elder care without guilt when the time for a nursing home comes. When your parents reach that time in life many are elder themselves and physically unable to take care of an immobile parent.

[@Sashazur]

It’s a very good idea to have a clear criteria like this. Otherwise things can get very bad for both the patient and the family and there can be more guilty feelings.

[@FarFromZero]

Keep in mind, same with alcoholism. Abuse constantly damages the brain. This can be compensated for a long time, but suddenly it's over. No more compensation available. One day a celebrity gives a nice and deep interview, only two or three binge drinkings later and the same person has irreversible turned into vegetables. Don't smoke, don't drink.

[@mariekatherine5238]

My Dad never drank, never smoked, was an avid bicyclist and hiker, ate a healthy diet, was not overweight, but he got dementia nonetheless. His father went the same way, only he passed at 82 and Dad at 92. It seems to affect the men, not the women. Mom passed at 96, her faculties still intact, and her mother at 101, two months after 9-11. She’d broken her pelvis so was in an assisted living facility, but she managed to get on a landline pay phone and reach me in NY, just to make sure I was okay. She was living in Colorado near my cousins. Her sister lived to 104, also sharp as a tack. Both of them had the Spanish flu as young adults and survived. Two brothers also had it. One died and the other was always sickly, dying at age 45.

[@FarFromZero]

@@mariekatherine5238 Did you ever heard about statistics? Another try. When handling toxic substances there is a "LD50" dose. This means, if an average person takes the LD50 dose there is a 50% chance that this person will die because of the poison. So, I could have a brother and a sister and both took the LD50 dose and both survived (25% chance). Is it therefor a good idea to take the LD50 dose? The "my grandpa" and "my uncle" stories about heavy drinking and smoking without any consequences is, sorry for that, the most stupid argument s.o. can present. Smoking kills you, dear. Heavy drinking kills you too. Yes, I'm arrogant - and I don't care. Enjoy your life.

I was 11 years old in 1977 when my Mum (aged 52) was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s. Just 2 years later she was placed in a seniors care home when she was only 54. She rapidly declined and passed away Dec 1986. I am 56 yrs old now so I have surpassed the age at which she was diagnosed. Since Alzheimer’s was diagnosed in my mother, I am very fearful that I will have the same fate. I never had children, so perhaps subconsciously I was preventing future generations of getting it. I sometimes have difficulty remembering names or I misplace an item and just can’t find it. I am too afraid to be tested for the gene. I am afraid for my 2 nieces and nephew.

[@leecowell8165]

That doesn't sound good. At your age those should not be an issue. I'm 81 and notice that I sometimes need to find a name by association. for example who is Kevin Costner? Well I know its in there but I remember he starred in a movie I really liked, Waterworld. So I look that up. However I have NO issue with common things at all. I never misplace things and have never lost a set of keys or wallet as I've always been very organized. I AM absentminded BUT I've always been that way. One time I found my trim hammer in my freezer stuff like that! Don't be afraid you should get checked I would wanna know myself.

I have the language thing going on and replacing words, but I thought I was supposed to be blissfully unaware. Also, I can think of 2 or 3 thoughts in a row. I will forget them in the next instant. At least, the most important one that made me get up to address it. Like something I wanted to do, then I can't remember the sequencing of those thoughts for a cue to remember the reason I got up and soon I can't remember any of it. It's been scaring me because my boyfriend and I have plans. I do digital art a lot and for a couple of years I can't remember the simple word 'contrast.' I mean, really? I just learned I may have colitis but I keep forgetting that simple word I have known all my life because a friend of mine had it. It always seems to be the same words then new words get added and now when I make lists paper lists won't work. I will lose them like my important medical appointments I had under a magnet. I lost them and have to find them but I get distracted a lot doing things and forget what I was doing. I now speak into the mic to remember things. Ugh. Hoping it's lack of sleep, but sleep didn't help.

[@jamesjacocks6221]

Cognitive loss can be non-medical. The removal of all that stimulation associated with work (as in retirement or a disability) will eventually reduce cognitive ability. I have seen it close to home. The people I know who make an effort to exercise their brains after retirement seem to fare better. This may well be just a demonstration of ability, I can't differentiate. To leave a life that was organized around absorbing, remembering and applying information by slowly losing those faculties is perhaps a cruel fate but I guess many folks suffer more because they died with all their faculties.

@@katinka946 Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, she just hit 90 and I doubt a slow down at this point. She functions amazingly well for someone of her age and mental state. She drinks heavily, however, and it's often difficult to distinguish what part of her forgetfulness is due to dementia vs. alcohol. The lapses she has are astounding at times. For example, she had a rash on her face, and kept appearing at ER, forgetting that she had just been there. She literally revisited the ER at least 5 times in a row, forgetting she had just been there.

[@katinka946]

@@cingibson thank you for your response. This will be an unpopular comment from me, but given that she fuctions well at her stage and age, the drink issue may give her some wonderful release. I feel for you, currently my husband has Parkinsons and Lewy Body disease. He does not have the shakes tht Parkinsons is mostly known for, but is stiffening up in movement. But the LBDbrought along memory loss, a change in personality, a change in temperament, and at time forgetfulness. They say that LBD is one of the very worst on the caretaker, not just on the sufferer. In fact, it is a nightmare.
