Hello, i'm Jean (53),
I care for my husband Keith who is 57 and has had alzheimers for 2 years.
It can be very emotional and upsetting and I would love to make contact with anyone who is about my age in the same situation.
keith scores about 12 on his test at the hospital now, and is on arricept although for how much longer I don't know.
He can still talk often with difficulty, however he cant really follow a conversation or enjoy the tv anymore. He is going down hill physically a lot now and can only go for walks. He sulks some of the time and even the tiniest thing will set him off.
I don't know how i get through it sometimes.
