I am puzzled. Can anyone shed light, please? My wife, who is a Stage 1 Alzheimer's patient, and has been complaining of MCI since 2015 when she was first referred for an MRI scan, fluctuates wildly in her mental capacity. It swings between a state of near normality (though with seriously...

Hi, I’m just back from a diagnosis appointment with my 85yr old Mum. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I feel quite shocked even though I expected dementia of some sort. My Mum showed no reaction at all, she just said she knew her memory wasn’t very good. I cried during the explanation but my...

My sister lives alone. I am her sole relative. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 3 years ago. She is very independent. I persuaded her to accept an agency calling in once a day whilst I was out of the country. She refused to let them her help with meal preparation. I am fairly sure she...

Hi All, My dad started to get forgetful about 2 years ago, after a load of tests he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last year. It’s been a crazy year, I can’t actually believe how quickly it’s progressed. He’s started to get aggressive and act like my 7 year old. Not sure what to expect to...

Hello I'm Pauline. Having a tearful day. My husband has alzheimers. He is becoming worse. Urinary incontinent. Wears pads but still wets down his trousers and around the toilet. Disguards the pull on pants wherever and doesn't see how unacceptable this is. Coughs up phlegm and runs to the...

I was diagnosed June 2022, & my life began to change. Prior to my diagnosis I had a home I loved in East Tennessee. My daughters saw changes in me that eventually led to living near a daughter in another state where I was diagnosed- - (This move etc is a long story that may evolve if pertinent...
