Alzheimer's breakthrough.

I have been smoking for 20 years now. it would bother me to go a whole day without being able to smoke some weed so I don't see the problem with giving my mom her daily dose of high

Senior Care: Culture Crop-Dormancy

The fact that senior citizens acquire Alzheimer's should motivate American politicians to talk more about research and about campaign promises about social security.

Memory loss is devastating, and I can't feel good about American senior citizen tourist groups traveling to Europe in the summer on discount group rates, happily wearing sun-ray protective sunglasses while the American government is not serious about associating Alzheimer's care with social security benefits.

The mice used in this experiment exhibited behaviors that revealed memory retrieval, but were these mice controlled for stimuli sensitivity?

The American people simply should care more about Alzheimer's. America does, after all, boast the world's best-financed retirement and senior citizen nursing care resources.

Crossword puzzles, Tetris, juggling, and ginkgo biloba helps stave off mental decline and symptoms of Alz as well.

My mom has late stages of alz symptoms. Lately she's getting really aggravated over nothing. The walk took longer than she thought, my dad takes a long time shopping and she has to go to the bathroom a million times. And she doesnt know how to wipe so shit gets everywhere if she tries to go without my dad but she gets mad or insulted if I suggest she wait for him to come home.

Or if I have the window down she's cold she doesnt get mad if I dont close the window after she asks, she just gets really mad about it right away. I say OK OK and do whatever she asks.

One time I took her to a restaurant to pick up takeout and she got really mad because it took too long. The whole point of taking her out is to give my dad 2 hours rest.

Anyways, tomorrow I'm taking him some pot cookies. He's finally willing to try anything. I really think they are going to chill her out.

That's sad. How is your mom doing?

No kidding! I have a friend he always asks how my mom's doing. At first i explained its never going to get better, just worse and now I tell him oh she's actually getting better. Lol.

After I tell my mom goodnight on the phone and hang up she looks at my dad and says, "who was that?"

She went from not being able to finish a sentence to not being able to talk. Now she can say yea or no or Hi. That's it.

I go 3-4 times a week and take her out and give my dad a break. Yesterday I had her cracking up. And in the car she loves listening to Greek music. So she's been good lately actually. I don't see her getting really irritable lately or crying. That I can't stand. Don't like seeing a loveone hurting.

Well, would it make you feel better if people stopped asking about her? I mean really, people ask about her because they care or they really do want to know. I don't see how that would be "offensive" in any way. My mom also has a degenerative disease (MS). Sure it isn't Alzheimers, but it is certainly progressive and will kill her one day. It doesn't bother me in the least when people ask me how she is, so yeah, that's a little weird to me that you make a commotion about someone asking and showing that they care.

I can relate because my grandmother is suffering from senile dementia. I was surprised when I went to visit her and she actually did seem to remember me. She didn't speak much though, so I can't be sure.

Yes, it is nice that they care, but it's like bringing up the death of your child. Sometimes just saying "I'm sorry" works best/

Always remember the good times.
I hate to say it but when my mother could no longer talk, walk or feed herself and was essentially a vegetable, I couldn't go see her. Whenever I tried, I lost it and am crying thinking of those times right now. It's incredibly sad to see them that way.

At the end, I would just assume they not ask or change the subject. I was the medical surrogate and had to make the decision to withhold food and pull all tubes. Just don't ask. When it's over remind person that they crossed over and are healed. Things will be beautiful for them now.

Seriously? Give me a break. Be thankful that people are asking and care. That's how I would feel. That it was nice gesture.

Seriously. Very seriously. Not at the end.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with asking a person how their loved one is doing. I don't know why you would think there is. That is ridiculous.

My mom has late stages of alz symptoms. Lately she's getting really aggravated over nothing. The walk took longer than she thought, my dad takes a long time shopping and she has to go to the bathroom a million times. And she doesnt know how to wipe so shit gets everywhere if she tries to go without my dad but she gets mad or insulted if I suggest she wait for him to come home.

Or if I have the window down she's cold she doesnt get mad if I dont close the window after she asks, she just gets really mad about it right away. I say OK OK and do whatever she asks.

One time I took her to a restaurant to pick up takeout and she got really mad because it took too long. The whole point of taking her out is to give my dad 2 hours rest.

Anyways, tomorrow I'm taking him some pot cookies. He's finally willing to try anything. I really think they are going to chill her out.

That's sad. How is your mom doing?

After I tell my mom goodnight on the phone and hang up she looks at my dad and says, "who was that?"

She went from not being able to finish a sentence to not being able to talk. Now she can say yea or no or Hi. That's it.

I go 3-4 times a week and take her out and give my dad a break. Yesterday I had her cracking up. And in the car she loves listening to Greek music. So she's been good lately actually. I don't see her getting really irritable lately or crying. That I can't stand. Don't like seeing a loveone hurting.

Not a good question for Alzheimer patients, I'm sorry to say.

No kidding! I have a friend he always asks how my mom's doing. At first i explained its never going to get better, just worse and now I tell him oh she's actually getting better. Lol.

Well, would it make you feel better if people stopped asking about her? I mean really, people ask about her because they care or they really do want to know. I don't see how that would be "offensive" in any way. My mom also has a degenerative disease (MS). Sure it isn't Alzheimers, but it is certainly progressive and will kill her one day. It doesn't bother me in the least when people ask me how she is, so yeah, that's a little weird to me that you make a commotion about someone asking and showing that they care.

Yes, it is nice that they care, but it's like bringing up the death of your child. Sometimes just saying "I'm sorry" works best/

Seriously? Give me a break. Be thankful that people are asking and care. That's how I would feel. That it was nice gesture.

At the end, I would just assume they not ask or change the subject. I was the medical surrogate and had to make the decision to withhold food and pull all tubes. Just don't ask. When it's over remind person that they crossed over and are healed. Things will be beautiful for them now.

Perhaps you are too sensitive. Like I told you, it doesn't bother me in the least when a person asks. I am happy that people care enough to ask.

Maybe you weren't there at the end when they didn't know what was happening and you had to pull the plug. What's ridiculous is that you are not listening.

What are you talking about? We are talking about asking a person how their loved one is doing. There is nothing "offensive" about that. If you are offended by someone innocently asking how your loved one is doing, then I think the problem is with you, TBH.

Have you been there when she just looks at you with fright and can only grunt? Have you been there when they ask what her wishes were and you say starve her to death?
