I believe @A myALZteam Member is correct: facing mortality is very difficult. It would probably be hard to get study participants.

My husband loves to do his yard work and it's his happy place. He also loves to eat the "see food diet" in the kitchen. When it's time to take him back to "his new home" he often balks at leaving and it's very upsetting for both of us. I wonder if it's something I should keep doing or is it best to keep him at 'his home'?
I usually tell her that I have to go to work. Most of the time it works :)
It seems my Loving wife of over 48 years has reached the stage where she knows my name but not that we are husband and wife. She also now does not know we had Children. I will call the Doctor this week as today is Sunday. Did medication change give anyone more time? Did your Love ones improve even for awhile. It seems we are entering a new stage and I don't want to scare my kids. She was always the best Mom and Grandmom.
I'm so sorry to hear this. It's frustrating. My dad now only knows a couple family members, and I'm not even positive of that any more. Interestingly, I live far away from him and he knows me on the… read more

I am reading so much about people who has alzheimers have diabetes and if you control the diabetes then you have a chance of getting rid of alzheimers. This is completely against everything I have learned and did my medical classes report on. I know we all hope there will be a cure. Unfortunately I think research is grasping at air.
My husband DX ALZ 2018 does not have Type2 Diabetes. Just have Diabetes can have far reaching physical and neurological effects but I have also not seen research supporting diabetes as the cause of… read more
My mom fell in memory care and fractured her sacrum and L1 and L4. She's currently in skilled nursing but what a drastic change in her! Not sure if it's the pain meds and pain causing her to be so zombie like and incontinent. Or is the beginning of a fast decline?
Hoping it the meds🤗
Good question - I'd like to know the answer as well. We find messes everywhere :(
Certain medications for AD can also cause vivid dreams.
My mom who is 97 is currently on comfort care, specifically hospice. Some consider palliative care comfort care, too. Consider asking the nursing home if they are suggesting palliative or hospice… read more
