I thought he was very good at turning homes around. At least he was getting them involved instead of just sitting around. But some of it did make me cry. One home was shut down but how many more out their like that.

My favorite Uncle has Alzheimers, although his Md says otherwise. As next of kin, since he never married, I am fighting in court to get guiardianship of him. He does not remember me, or any of his brothers & sisters, He is in assisted living where he is very neglected, He has fallen 4 times in the past 3 weeks, & I was called because he had ... See Morenot eaten in 4 days! They said if he says no, they have to respect his wishes??? I got nowhere with adult protective. How can people like him be cared for? Any ideas? I am shure there are more like him, & I wish I knew how to help. I am at wits end!

an idle mind is a devils workshop.......and the devil is ALZIMER's.........

The most precious thing we have are our memories... They cannot remember who they're children are and more frightening they don't remember there is a God. Frightened to death they are....................

going through that now. I am next of kin to my Uncle, in assisted living They CLAIM he does not have Alzimers, yet he remembers no one..he has fallen 4 times in the last month, was called because he had not eaten in 4 days...the say if they ask, & he says no, they have to respect his wishes??? I am now going for guidardianship, then Power of attorney, He is so neglected! Any ideas anyone?? God Bless..

Yes, my mother-in-law took drugs and she had a bad stomach and she would constantly complain the roof of her mouth felt like someone was tearing it up and was burning....she had been on this medicine for a few years and we didn't notice much change in her AZ after we took her off...but she ate, slept, and felt so much better and her appitite was much better as well...so yes...no one diagnosis ...I believe that having happiness and peace during these years are the most important...

How about an Early Stage AD Afflicted, age 72, in the U.S.?
