My husband can’t have caffeine. He gets very bad diarrhea from any caffeine.
Maybe this question was posted prior to my joining this site & if so, please forgive
My husband was diagnosed in 2012, & now needs me for everything. He sometimes gets angry if I leave the room. I don't feel like a person anymore. I don't get to be just me anymore. I don't get to do the things some of the things I used to enjoy. Sometimes I feel resentful, & angry at this disease. Sometimes I am angry at his children for not helping out even though I know in my heart they are busy with… read more
I know exactly how you feel. We are human, it’s perfectly normal to feel anger when they lash out. Even though they don’t know what they’re doing. I’m taking my hubby to day care 2 days a week . This… read more
My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in March 2016 at age 51. My heart is still breaking. I am 43, I work full-time and we have three children (18, 20, 22). I am scared to death of what the future holds :(
My husband was diagnosed in 2016 at age 66...but he had symptoms at 60.
Lucky fir me as the disease progressed, he became much calmer and accepting. He us actually not hard to care for, except it is… read more
Husband no longer reads, writes,does puzzles,watches tv....can t find anything for him to do...any suggestions?
I'm actually making one for someone I know gran also I found a fidget slug my mum loves that too
I wish I could get my husband to attend some kind of group. All he does is his word search and watch tv. I talked him into taking the dog for a walk, but it is a very short walk.
When you are stressed and handling too much, the brain just can't focus....too too many things to organize, to think about. Your poor brain is becoming overwhelmed...I hope you can get someone to… read more
Lots of great ideas here. One thing I had to really focus on with my Mom was hydration. Making sure she always had water (or other non sugary drink) available was important. She was prone to UTIs… read more
My dad had gotten mail from our mailbox. At the time I thought it was good. Now we can't find something that had a money order in it and the rest of our mail. We have looked and looked at our house. We can't find it anywhere. Where do dementia patients hide stuff? Also missing is an extra wallet that stupid me again let him keep it in his room. My dad seems more and more like a little kid!
The wallet was found. Didn't find the money in his wallet. I found his SS card in the trash can in his room. It's now in a safe place.
His Hearing aids and my library book is now missing along… read more
My mom tells me, while I'm at work, my Pops gets very mean and verbal with her and that he has threatened to hurt himself. When I'm home I don't see any signs nor have I witnessed anything more than him raising his voice at her and that's usually when she's not paying attention to him. (She is constantly on her tablet). She's also told me that he acted like he was going to hit her. I can't ask him if he's doing these things she's telling me, and I can't tell her she's lying (which she's been… read more
Have you thought about getting one of those small cameras? I have three around my house. If I am out, I check on my husband. I have the Waiz cameras. they are easy to install and I think if one… read more
My dad is 90 and in his 10th year of Alzheimer's. He lives in an assisted living facility with my 89 yr. old mom (his only connection to reality). He still has his endearing personality (through little quips and childlike comments), and is so kind to everyone he sees. But, he does not seem to understand how to perform the most basic activities anymore or understand what he is to be doing from one moment to the next. He doesn't know what goes on his toothbrush and asks what he is to do next after… read more
Loo, that is interesting because my husband doesn't realize that he is living in his home so if by some chance I am able to get him into a care facility he might think that is the home where he keeps… read more
