Hi I was wondering if anyone has any experience with weight loss.
My mother is 86 and has AD & Vascular Dementia, she is was diagnosed last July, although she has been having memory problems for the past 3 years.
She is now weighs 6st 9lbs having been around the 10st mark 3 years ago, In March 2006 she weighed 8st 4lb, in the past 10 months the weight has fallen off dramatically,
We are getting worried she does eat at least one very good meal a day as my brother her main carer goes into cook for her & also evidence that she has been eating snacks during the day, she also has a carer 2 days a week who cooks for her.
Is this weight loss part of this awful disease ?. any help or advice please.
