A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

Can I get some tips about how to handle this? My Husband and Sister take care of me but I don't want to drive them crazy. I was a caregiver for over 15 yrs. And had alzheimers patients, dementia patients and a beautiful woman who couldn't walk,speak & very thin and could not open her mouth more than 1/4" so I had to blend all her food. She was such a sweet Lady and I was devastated when she died. Anyways, if you can give me any tips on what to expect I'd appreciate any and all. Have a… read more

My Father-in-law Is Not Making Any Sense. He Talks With Regular And Made Up Words All The Time. How Do Other Caregivers Handle This?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

I'm also wondering if this really is "normal" for dementia. All of my dementia information says that people with this disease will sometimes not make sense. However, he is not making sense all of the time. He's seeing things that aren't there and making up words. Just curious as to if anyone else is dealing with this or is this really out of the ordinary. Thanks!

How Long Can Alzheimer’s Patients Carry On Normal Conversation?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

My husbands family who only sees him about 3 or 4 times a year, can’t tell there is anything wrong him. Sometimes I think they doubt his diagnosis and what I tell them. He is on medication, still takes care of all his personal needs, drives in our very small town, and does most everything he used to do. He can carry on a conversation without most people noticing anything unusual. Yet at home with our immediate family, we see small things daily. He looses his phone, wallet, sunglasses all the… read more
