Not Alzheimer's, but very difficult still. There was a good article about someone with this type of dementia in an issue of AARP magazine.

These people are in a mental hell! They should be given the right to die with dignity! Allowing these dementia patients to serve out their time in a mental nightmare is inhumane and cruel. The only reason we keep these patients alive is for the living and money! Unless you have had to care for dementia patients or are a dementia patient, you have no right to decide. Death with dignity is the only way out of this disease without too much suffering. If the people caring for these dementia patients think it's hard, imagine the person going through it.

Agreed. There are many more people like her than we all know. Most are unsung heroes...

I'm not religious, but god bless Americans.

She is a very good woman. Take it from one who has walked in her shoes, as hurtful as it is, there comes a time when you cannot take care of a loved one with dementia. Until you have been in her situation, DON’T JUDGE!!!

Robert F Downs Not sure about her particular situation, but my husband was my gift from God. In the final stages, I was having to feed him, bathe and dress him, put locks on the doors so he wouldn’t go outside and wander off, he was up all hours of the night pacing, wanting out and begging me to take him HOME!!! I had no help, only me. It broke my heart to have to put him in assisted living facility, he was only there for 2 weeks until his death. It was horrible to watch a good, strong, very intelligent, otherwise healthy man deteriorate before my eyes. It’s been almost 2 years since he passed and I keep beating myself up for having to take him away from his home, but I truly had no choice. Just pray you never have to deal with this situation. It’s beyond horrible.

I had no idea he was that close to death. The facility I checked him into was suppose to be long term. Lewy body dementia is in a class all it’s own. The doctors were even baffled that he was that close to death. He walked in there and after 2 days he couldn’t walk or talk at all. He was in a comatose state by then and they took him to hospice for 2 nights and he died there. I must say that his disease was very different than any I have heard about. He only lived 2 years after his diagnosis. It was very fast and aggressive. After seeing him the last few days, I was praying that God would take him home. He would not have wanted to live like that nor could I bare to watch him in that deteriorating state any longer. It would only have gotten worse, never better.

Agreed. Horrible diagnosis, incredible response by Vicky.

How old are You, how did you get diagnosed and What are your symptoms? Please

I'm sorry this is happening to you! How old are you?

Queen Alice Kingsley my thoughts exactly 😞

I personally think all these new health problems along with so.many kids getting supposed adhd and hpv etc I believe it's in food and animals drinks etc like man made illness to get money to pay for treatments when we was growing up u could do anything n never heard of bird flu or these cancers etc like we do now so sad

Chemicals/additives in our food supply. Studies suggesting artificial sweeteners linked to plague development in the brain.

No doubt about it. It's an incredibly insidious disease...It's especially heartbreaking when its onset is so early. Sorry to hear about you mom.

My mom too.We have to be strong!!!!!!!!!

My mom died 2 years ago from Alzheimer's I'm losing it I hope you have brothers or sisters that help. I did it alone. Please give her coconut oil look it up. It took my mam back. It works please please give it to her. In 3 days you will see your mom go back.

Charlie Nonya ...chronic stress and anxiety does increase your chances of dementia.

I'm sorry to report Jeff passed away last May...he was 55.

We actually also provide awards to our workers as nominated by family and friend caregivers. You can find them on our channel: they are called "Client Choice Awards." As noted in an early comment, we use the word "award" for lack of a better word. These people are meant to represent family and friend caregivers throughout Canada and our goal is to raise awareness of the strain, challenges and love that is part of caregiving so that society and government better support them. :) In Canada, if there weren't family/friend caregivers around, the system would collapse.
