Thank you thank you

This is very important information. No one had ever told me these things. So every shower head should have a "pour" function and a "mist" function. Every bathroom should have more color and different colored floors than walls and shower fiberglass. Care givers should have a cool room to go to after showering an elder.

I'm feeling overwhelmed, trapped and that I have lost control of caring for my Grammy, who just turned 84 on January 11th.

I'm wondering if I will get Alzheimer's if both my maternal great grandmother and now my grandma had or have Alzheimer's.

My husband is in a memory care facility in stage six Alzheimer’s and he also developed Lewy Body Dementia. My husband and I have been married 58 years, my husband is 79 years old. I was my husbands care giver for over six years and was unable to give him the care he needed in stage five. My husband does not live in today’s world he lives in his childhood years. He hallucinates all day and does not know his family anymore. He is in pain through out his body the Dr. has been trying to treat him but nothing is helping his pain. He sleeps a lot but when he is awake he argues with all the staff, he hates everyone. I wish God would Make his pain lesson. I visit my husband twice a week but he says to me you haven’t been here for months and I respond no Honey I am here twice a week because I love you.

Is it common for a person's symptoms to quickly progress with a life event? My mother went from 2 to 8 (on a scale of 1 to 10) after my father's death last year. It's been incredible. Not only does she know she' losing her mind but she's grieving their 65 year relationship. It's so sad.

Thanks so much for all your information. Your videos have really helped me to make my husband's life a little easier (and mine too). And let me have a vision of what to potentially expect next. You have validated some of the actions I have found that works for him. We live in a very rural area and when we go for drives (which always makes him happy to look for deer, elk, etc.) I always ask him which road he wants to take. It seems to help him feel more in control over the trip (now that he isn't allowed to drive anymore). And this video helped me to understand that I need to take the time to find more things he can make decisions about and tasks that he can feel like he is contributing more to our life.

❤thank you god bless you

Hi, I am the caretaker for my mom. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. One of my issues is, mom does not like me because I am asking her to do things. I have tried your suggestions and a few others. The problem still persists. She won't shower or take meds or really anything I ask her do to. My daughter comes over to help shower her, and mom is receptive to my daughter. But my daughter has 2 small children of her own, so it's difficult for her to always come over. My dad helps, but really does not know how and is afraid of upsetting mom. I am going to have him watch these videos tomorrow. I live with my parents so tomorrow I will try and "not be seen" and perhaps she will take the meds from my dad.

Thank you.

Maybe it's the family or friends that have memory issues!

Probably similar to being drunk and sleepy

For my mother figure, it started out small. She always loved her mountain dew, and NEVER lost it. On occasion she'd lose count of her mountain dew and burst into my room and yell at me for drinking her Mountain Dew. No matter how hard I tried to prove to her that I never drank her mountain dew, it was never enough. She was ALWAYS convinced I was stealing her pop. Then it slowly started to snowball. I had to make a Talley chart, and have her mark down everytime she took a can out of her twelve pack, because she'd started bursting into my room more and more often. I started bringing it up to my father figure, and he told me not to worry about it. He told me things like: "That's what happens when u get old mijo" or "She's fine, she's just starting to lose her memory" He kept reassuring and reassuring me that everything was fine, I believed him. This went on for 2 years. My mother figure (mom) had diabetes. She'd double dose her insulin, so eventually my dad or I would have to do it to make sure she didn't go into diabetic shock due to low sugar. It slowly started to snowball worse and worse. My mom was stubborn. I tried so hard to get her to go see a doctor. I kept telling her that she wasn't okay, none of this is okay. My father figure (dad) was either out, or at work so he didn't see her as much as I did. One day I woke up, my sister was gone. I had asked my mom where she was, and she didn't know. I went around our complex, and couldn't find her anywhere. Word spread around, family, neighbors, nobody knew where she was. We put out a missing kid report. Our family was in shambles. My poor baby sister. I thought I'd have to get revenge on her kidnapper. The violent thoughts were frequent. Everytime I heard her description on the radio, or on the TV, it got worse and worse. My dad told me to get ready for the worst. 2 hours after reporting her missing, a car pulls up, it's my baby sister. Her friend, and her friends mom. Everyone was confused, police, fire fighters, me, dad, cousins, everybody. Side note: we were already getting watched like a hawk by the county we were living in. Both my parents had their demons, and weren't always nice to each other, or me at times, but that's the closest thing I've ever had to family. I to this day love all of them dearly. Anyways, the friends mom told the police that my baby sister had asked permission to stay the night at a friend's house, to which mom granted permission. The county got really involved after that one. My mom would get violent spouts out of nowhere. She would lash out at me for what seemed like no reason. A missing pop, missing cigarettes, missing money, it was all Ricky. Ricky, you're ruining our family, Ricky stop stealing from your mom, when your mother wanted nothing to do with you, are you ungrateful?! She'd then smack me, hit me with belts, pans, and even dig her nails into me. I showed my dad one day, and he said he'd have a talk with her. (AT this point in time he's not in the greatest health, kidneys failing, dialisys 3 days a week, can't work no more etc.) He had a port to his heart. About a year later we were homeless, living with one of my moms friends. Her and dad got into a super heated argument, to which she was reaching for the dialisys port to his heart, and my mom's friend had to physically restrain her until the police eventually arrived. Next day I get talked to by police. "You're mother had a stroke, your father isn't working, how are you guys fending for yourselves?" I tried my best to keep cool bur couldn't help but break down and tell him. My poor baby sister had to see that. All of it. I was 13, and was basically expected to do everything cause my parents weren't able. She was only 10. 23 years later, moms still alive, same with dad. Moms in a well needed assisted living g facility, and I'm still taking care of my dad. This video helped me open my eyes to what was making her so furious all the time. Made me realize that not everything's all "Ricky's fault". Thank you.

YES YES YES PLEASE ! and you are so very helpful thank you🇨🇦🎶💃🎶☮️

Thank you, this is really useful advice for me at this moments! ❤

My grandma on my mom's side turns 84 tomorrow on January 11th, and seems to be stage 5. i HATE this disease. I am NOT ready to eventually say goodbye.

Alzheimer's is a disease straight from hell!!!

Your progression is missing symptoms of emotional distress earlier in the progression. My coworker Bob had an unhealthy fascination with funeral videos that was chalked up to him being him. They appeared to give him emotional release, and he had difficulty regulating what time of day he watched them, often annoying the coworker in adjacent cubicle. The problem was that this became progressively worse in his last 2 years of employment, and he showed no interest in funeral videos before this. He died 2 years after retirement and his wife was angry with us coworkers for not saying something. The problem was that he showed minimal signs of memory problem in that last year of employment, but the emotional element was there. A few years later my mom went through Alzheimer’s as well, and she had moments of emotional disregulation and they came sooner than memory loss would have indicated. Certainly before the summer of 2019 when she first failed to recognize familiar landmarks. We kept looking for the loss of short term memory like the one experienced by her mom and that came in her last week of life. She developed Swiss cheese memory instead fall of 2019 instead. She lost a decade. And her short term memory was good for 2-5 months depending on emotional value of experience. Her sense of smell was diminished in her last 2 years, but not completely gone as has been said in other videos. But as with Bob, she had emotional outbursts that were unexplainable until her cognitive had diminished to just 9/30 on the cognitive ability test. At that point the mri clearly showed destruction of brain regions. The swiss cheesing of her brain had already happened physically before it was evident to us in conversation. It took 2 years from diagnosis to take a sharp turn worse in health. 2 months after that sharp turn she was gone from vascular disease in her body. Alzheimers and Vascular disease were seaming to compete for supremacy and which would be the cause of death. Vascular disease “won”. PS. Our grandma also likely had Alzheimer’s and likely rigid diabetes. Our mom was mostly prediabetic, and medically controlled prediabetes without insulin. Grandma had severe short term memory impairment for the 12 months before death. She was basically living in autopilot mode, with about 5 minutes of short term memory. I was too young to notice what emotional symptoms she would have had.

Unless you're dumber than dementia

Wow, now I understand better how dad is feeling sometimes. I observed many times that something was off, but I don't fully know because he stopped talking recently. What i do is dance with him,get him to laugh, and give him a body massage,which he loves. Thanks much for this video. ❤😊

This was very powerful. Thank you.

Well done 👏 ❤

Thankyou for this, Debra. [I happened to be briefly in tch with you from UK yesterday, about the free activities sheet.] I recognise in my husband with Alzheimer's many of the feelings expressed by the men you gave as examples - in what he says, often angrily, about his loss of self-worth and value to life, to society, to me. "You'd be better off without me". A morning person always, M4 motorway into deepest London for 7am site mtgs for many work years, he has never ever lain in bed....now, says he doesn't want to get up, "Could stay in bed all day, what's the point any more". I am trying to help him with self worth, praise things he does, etc. It is hard to combat his feelings. I will continue to try. Margaret B

It seems like these people have insight into their condition. My understanding is that most of dementia people have little or no insight .

From South Carolina. My 84 year old (on Saturday 1/11/2025) grandma seems to have more and more aphasia. Its heartbreaking. She us my best friend. I have a better relationship with her, then my own mother (her daughter).

Hi, Deb! I watched all your videos. Very educational. Great work. Congrats and a big hug from Portugal.

Her holiday strategies worked for me!!! My sister and I had a great Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm still using her strategies and making life so much easier!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only Allah knows about. Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By Allah, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to Allah that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by Allah. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may Allah have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By Allah, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to Allah, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of Allah. I ask you, by Allah, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967772168484 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may Allah reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger.

I've had episodes of expressive aphasia for the past 5 years or so and it is so frustrating! I understand what everyone around me is saying, but can't access certain words (so I can be talking and mid-sentence I've lost all of the nouns I need to finish the sentence). I end up reduced to pointing. My 2nd language is American Sign Language, so my family js learning it, and Im relearning it. We're hoping since it accesses different parts of the brain, it may alĺow me to communicate longer. I'm 57 now, but we've know something was very wrong for 6 or 7 years. I was just finally diagnosed 2 weeks ago with Cerebral Small Vessel Disease and already have moderate damage.😒

Absolute perfect presentation from a beautiful lady!
