Hello,
My mum has had Alzheimers for about 9 years now and She is entering the beginning of the last stage which generally
can last from 1-2 years. Her main symptoms generally: decrease in appetite ( but She is still able to swallow and eat if she feels like it) .. becoming tired very easily and would sleep during the day few times .. having body aches (but still moves around and can walk by herself without assistance) .. hardly talks .. seems lost and confused .. (still has some bladder and bowel control .. few accidents here and there ) .. lost lots of weight and becoming more frail .. I guess my specific questions are from your experiences as I know it varies: From the current stage my mum is in .. how long generally does it take till she is fully bed ridden, not eating at all and losing all control of bladder and bowel .. Are we talking few months .. or 6 months .. a year .. ?? I would appreciate any insights on this and I would be grateful ... Thank you
