We were told early stages, shes on 16mg reminyl.
I think its worse than we thought. There are times when she cant walk down stairs properly because of shadows, confused regarding escalators and when the step starts and stops, trouble with seatbelts amongst other things. It is worse when shes tired. When I look up about medication-it says may work 6-12 months. The doctor is meeting her again in September which would be 6 months and he said more medication would be added.
The doctor was very relaxed about it, said not to mention it to her and wait and see again in September but I think he was trying to lessen the blow a bit.
Im in two minds whether to tell my late fathers nieces and nephews who adore her and who she helped raise. I don't want to scare people but then if they don't see much of her over the summer and then in September shes on more meds or it gets worse, is that worse for them?Are they better being warned so at least they are in the loop in case things go bad quickly?Or they want to spend more time with her?My mother doesn't know about the alzeihmers but they would keep that private.
