Husband has a narcissistic and selfish personality and has been know to be called a “hot head” and very argumentative. Just hoping he will change from that.
That has to be so hurtful. We have a few but luckily for the most part he is happy and not argumentative. I am trying very hard to avoid getting upset with him about the little things that rub me the… read more

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
I really can't give you any advice. I myself would take it one day at a time.

I keep seeing numbers associated with Alzheimer’s in peoples posts. What are these 7? Stages?
Personally, I think this website has the very best explanation of the 7 Stages:

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!
I just agree with what my LO tries to say and say your right or I know
There don't seem to be a lot of people on this site supporting someone with frontal lobe dementia. Am I right?
There is info on line which tell of symptoms so a person can baxcically tell what stage they are in. I believe i am in the early part of stage 2, NO one has cobfirmed it. I just know how I am . I… read more
My husband is diagnosed as having dementia. He is up and down but very slow in movement. Doesn't have any memory -short or long term. He enjoys listening to music. Doesn't communicate well and seems bored. I take him for rides and have tried all sorts of hands on games and puzzles. Just at a loss.

If you look carefully, I'm sure you'll be able to see what stage he's in

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
Thank you Nothgiel, you are so right. However, our son and daughter both realize their dad’s problems so I have their support!
