Hello - been reading everyones comments on there experience of looking after a loved one with this terrible disease, my mum has just started to have these symptoms and is so scared and frightened - it is so upsetting as she watched her mum go through the same and knows what is going to happen - she has been with me today crying and asking for help to make her better! this broke my heart and I just don't know what to do!
I have re-assured her that all her family are there for her and she is not alone ect but she is just so frightened! My mum has loads of family and we will all be there for her but it is all so confusing and scarry!

So sad.
I cannot imagine how frightening it must be to know that things are happening outside our control.
Luckily MIL has no idea what is happening to her. Every morning is a new day. She remembers nothing that is older than 5 minutes ago, but will welcome strangers into the house as if they are regular acquaintances. Every child she sees she will say they live just up the road from her and she knows them personally.
But....she is happy.....until evening time when she morphs into the mood monster...

Hi Nannyjack and welcome. It is so sad about your mum - and yours too Billie. It's so good she has the family to support her though. I know you will get lots of support on this forum. Take care. x
