Thank you for this valuable information about Alzheimer's. It's so important to watch for early warning signs of Alzheimer's, so we can get help for our loved ones.
it speaks about dementia/alz in older people my husband was diagnosed in 2006 in his 59yrs young ,it be nice to know if symptons are the same or different in the ages
I just want to mention that you can not reason with ALZ. My advice would be to tell your mother that you are going to look into it. She is scared and feels that no one beleives her which will make her even more paranoid. I would tell her that you looked into it and it turns out he is helping this woman with yardwork, painting, etc...anything to distract her line of thinking. Good Luck, this is a miserable thing to have to deal with. Just remember that you are not alone!
Ratofe77 My mother has dementia also and experienced exactly what you are describing two and a half yrs ago. Both my parents were living in FL at the time and I am in Chgo. Mom would call me and cry on the phone about how my Dad (actually stepdad) was abandoning her every night after she went to bed and he would go out with all the women in town. These calls would just break my heart. After about 6 mths of this, my dad fell and was taken to the hospital. I caught the next flight and intended on taking care of Mom till Dad got out of the hospital in a few days. To make a long story short, I was off work 6 weeks as I moved my parents back to Chgo. That was 2 yrs ago and my mom has gotten progressively worse, currently she is in a nursing home cuz Dad cannot take care of her anymore. Per info I have read, Mom is in the final stages of Dementia/Alzheimers. Dad lives in Independent living 2 miles west of me and Mom is now 1 mile east of me. I pick up Dad 2 to 3 times a week and take him to dinner and over to visit Mom. Dad has also turned over Mom's total care to me as he is getting very forgetful himself, he is 87 and entitled to. Now if that is not enough to take care of with a full time job, my husband has either lower spinal disease or ALS and we cannot get an exact diagnosis as there is no test that confirms ALS. In the mean time, his muscles are deteriorating to the point that his left hand and arm are dead weight and totally useless. I maintain my sanity by babysitting for my grandson every Saturday and everyone around me knows Saturday is OFF LIMITS for everyone. Sorry I didn't mean to vent this much, but darm if it doesn't FEEL GOOD.
Ratofe77Ratofe77, I am sorry for your perdicament. Please know that your mother is not thinking right and the pills that the doctor has given her take time to work .up to 2 months. Medications do really help and it is not a weakness to use themn. Please be patient and don't take any of what she says personally. Read all you can about dementia and find a support group to go to. Also you must remain calm and take care of yourself. None of this is your fault or your fathers. My mother also had some paranoid thinking for quite a few years. Just know they are her thoughts not yours. Find a mental health group to discuss your feelings with too. Good luck.mtb
MY MOTHER HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED YET WITH ALZHEIMER'S BUT SHE DID HAVE AN EPISODE WHERE SHE ACCUSED MY DAD OF BEING UNFAITHFUL TO HER..WITH MY COUSIN'S WIFE..THIS IS COMPLETLY UNTRUE AND UNLOGICAL.SINCE MY FATHER IS NEVER AWAY FROM MY MOM EVER..WE HAVE TRIED TO CONVINCE HER THAT THIS WAS ONLY A DREAM OR A VAGUE IDEA..SHE NEVER DID THIS BEFORE..WE HAVE GONE TO A PSIQUIATRIST BUT I AM NOT HAPPY WITH ALL THE PILLS ..SPECIALLY ONE IN PARTICUAL CALLED ABILIFY..I READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND I DID NOT LIKE IT AT ALL..I WULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD INSTRUCT ME TO SEE GOOD DOCTORS IN THIS FIELD..I AM VERY CONFUSED . I AM ONLY DAUGHTER AND I CANNOT HANDLE THIS..MY MOTHER IS ALL TO ME..PLEASE HELP ME.. VERY CONCERNED..IN MIAMI FLORIDA..THANK YOU VERY MUCH
