In my husband's case it was what he called "not thinking." Meaning making multiple mistakes through brain not functioning properly. I thought it was his ADHD, his poor judgement and his rushing about and not thinking about/planning ahead about what he was going to be doing before he did it (he had a lot of spontaneous action/reactions going on.) Now, ten years later I realize it was his early cognitive decline. Our Functional Medicine Physician also discovered insulin resistance. Hindsight is so much easier seeing in hindsight than seeing then at the time they occur.

I really wish there was other family members to help me but I’m on my own. My 84 yo aunt is at stage 3. She had no children and my uncle died four years ago, also from Alzheimer’s. She has no one but me. It’s really hard. I’m learning how to deal with her as I go. She is very stubborn and insists that she can do fine on her own. Your video’s are so helpful! Thank you so much and I love your laid back approach. The levity helps so much❤

Thank you so much Vicky. Pushback is an understatement, a classic example of anosognosia

My mom’s doctor would NOT let us express our concerns to her—including my brother, who had HIPAA access. He had to file a complaint with the company to gain access. My mother immediately failed the cognitive tests.

What do you do if you have a mom that is in her 70’s and single. I am her daughter and I am married to a great guy. Mom loves us both, but doesn’t want anyone in her business. I don’t know how I will help her now or in the future. She gets so angry. The lady at the bank told her to not ever let Anyone to be her power of attorney. I’m not sure if my mom has dementia or not. She lives by herself now and seems to do okay

Do you think dementia is hereditary? I hope it isn't. My mother with dementia is one of nine children, 5 died ( mom will die ) from dementia. Other 4, cancer, hart attack and a incompetent dr. From high blood pressure after child birth. Theae 4 died before 60 yrs old.
So am I and my siblings more then likely going to have dementia

With HIPPA laws, the doctors will shut you out.
