Thank you for sharing your experiences. I am sure it was painful to go through as a loving caregiver and observer. I am thankful that my husband is so oblivious to his own difficulties.

Yes by all means get a Medic Alert bracelet. They come in all sorts of styles and have a locking clasp so that they cannot be taken off easily. I got my husband on one when he was is an earlier stage… read more
Supposedly, it gets rid of all sugar in your diet in an effort to get ketones working in the brain again. I wanted to try it, but thought it might be a scam.
I was on Keto diet myself- lost 22 pounds, but Barry loves sweets and eats several bowls of cereal for his multiple breakfasts which he fixes- was having 2 eggs with marg & jam (better) but think he's… read more
