Hi. I am new today on here. My husband is 51 and has was diagnosed with alzheimers a couple of months ago. They say he has probably had this for a few years and even though the scans showed things happening this was not picked up til lately.Thank you all for your ideas with obsessions, my husbands obsession is that his mum is there cooking for him and me and my daughter have to go and find the pie she has made. He is also obsessed with jeremy kyle and our mornings are on hold til jeremy has finished. After reading your comments on here i am glad i now know that a small lie to him doesnt hurt, it was hard to lying to him as we have never lied to each other, but if it helps. He is also on medication now, started two weeks ago.
hubby has been on his meds for 2 weeks now, and his obsessions have got a little better, he isnt checking the door as often, but is still convinced there is someone else here in the evenings. On the good side he is eating a bit better that last few days, I hope you hubby is helped by the meds, we have been going to alz cafe, and also an active club, not that Phil likes going out but he has enjoyed the two mornings. He seems better and not as bothered with the door etc when we get back. Our diagnosis was in November, so early days for us as well. Take care
