stages,im bewidered!!
my wife was 54 when diagnosed,thats now 9 years ago,even at that early stage,she had lost all her cognitive powers,and needed all her personal needs done for her,like eating,cleaning,dressing,etc etc.,
we were advised even then that her needs would be bettered cared for in a care home.
But as long as I was fit to look after her,due to the fantastic help of my daughter,we still have her at home now..
I can honestly say we have been through most of the stages.
3 years ago she turned extremely violent,thankfully mostly just verbal,also wandering all about the house at all times of night and day,so we asked her consultant if there was anything we can help for this,he prescribed her an anti-physcotic drug,the first few weeks was great,but then she turned completly Zombie like,and I took the option I would rather see her back to aggresiive ways than that,to cut a long story short,she has calmed down now,and we still have her at home,she still needs 24/7 care,
but thankfully she is still here,has a few bad days and some good ones,and doing fine, but this is only my own observations on this illness,my wife is actually behaving better now than she was a few years ago,
so I cannot understand this actual stages of ths illness,nor I do not think any of the so called consultants in this field can either can,
thats why I am bewidered!! with this poll in here,as everyone is so different on there own ways of having the illness,and the consultants dealing with it!!
