What are the symptoms of alzheimers?
Monday, February 4th, 2008
This is in relation to the question I asked earlier about my mother and her outbursts, arguing, and accusations.
I’m starting to wonder if it’s the beginning of alzheimers disease?
If so I fear my father and I have a LONG road to travel. I know of another relative that went through it and it wasn’t pretty.
If it is alzheimers setting in what are our options at this early stage of it? How do we get her help when she thinks we’re just against her and SHE’S the victim? Getting a diagnosis is impossible.
It was suggested once and only once before that she seek the help of a professional (doctor, phsychiatrist, couselor, etc..) she got so angry and argumentative that she smashed a skillet down on the glass top stove and shattered it.
My father and I are at our wits end with this now.
What can we do without sacrificing our own way of living?
snowbunny,
the relative I said who went through alzheimers was also combative and acusational in the beginning. That’s why I asked. I don’t know the exacts of alzheimers, but I do know that it’s just not memory loss
