IFor those of you who reached the point of occasionally getting lost out walking or driving, how long has this gone one while you've still been able to either live alone (withorwithout help) or be left at home alone by spouse for hours or even a day or so? I'm trying to get idea of roughly range of time this stage of Alz might last. Any help with be appreciated.

I have been very slowly going down hill for the last 7 years but it is noticeably getting faster over last 6 months. not been lost yet but just wanted to let you know have read your post and am now more aware of the potential problem so thanks

Hi Bill
I have mixed vascular dementia and Alzheimer's. I was diagnosed with vascular dementia about 2 years ago. Going blank and not knowing where I am was one of the first symptoms. I still get this. About every 2 weeks I have to show some kind person my medi tag who calls my wife.
Sorry this isn't more hopeful John
