My mon had Alzheimer's disease when she was 80's years old. She only remembered how I looked when I was much younger. The last time I saw her was when I came back to Hong Kong from US. She took a while to recognize me when I visited her. And she kept forgetting who I was. This sounds bad. But that actually was not that bad. At least she eventually recognized me. Some Alzheimer's disease patients may change their personalities to something quite bad when the disease got worse. Luckily my mom kept her personality intact -- she was still a happy go easy kind of person all the way to the end according to my brothers and sisters. This helped us to keep a very good memory of her -- as a good and kind hearted person. She passed away at sleep -- no pain, no suffering. If someone had to die, this was the best way to go.
My auntie was the same. When I visited her, her sister-in-law told her who I am, but she only remembered me as a young girl. She looked at me long and hard, then she said, you have changed so much ! But in fact I had been visiting her once a month for many years !
Thanks for the info in simple language and good to read the comments from other people on their experience and journey. My mum is at her early stage so I try to go and visit her in HK every six months. Scare to see her deteriorating but try to enjoy our time together!
Thank you Dr. Rex for the information! My mother started kidney dialysis in 2000 when she was 75. She was soon diagnosed with dementia. The diagnostic was rather simple: the doctor told my mother 3 simple unrelated items (like an orange, a pencil, a calendar, etc.) and asked my mother to repeat them. Much to my disappointment, she couldn't repeat them. My mother eventually couldn't eat and lost bladder control, and died 3 years later in 2003. Pretty sad!
@@jeaniehui5438 Your two brothers acted out of love for your late mother, yet they had unnecessarily prolonged your late mother's misery, suffering and indignity. At your late mother's advanced stage of dementia, her bodily functions had essentially shut down, she would not have felt any hunger sensation. Watch a domestic cat or dog, in their final stages of life, they wouldn't even touch water or food given to them, it is the law of nature.
母親插了鼻胃管後，喉嚨便很多痰，時常肺炎入院，如果她沒有及時死去，否則，還要做一個手術，因為鼻胃管時常磨擦到胃膜，胃膜也有破損，要施手術修補….. 人活到這樣，家人就要作出取捨， quantity of life (長壽）與 quality of life (生活質素），那樣重要一些？！我無意作出結論，祗是希望大家若有家人要插鼻胃管，要詳細討論一下才作出結論。
Thank You Dr. Rex for this new video that gives us much more information on this illness. I’m glad that you always use the simplest language to help us understand different kinds of illnesses.
Thank you Dr. Rex. Good to understand more about this illness, never thought that it will lead to neumonia and other diseases. Hope there will be a more effective treatment in the near future. Always enjoy vedio of your cat. Thanks.
My parent passed away due to chest infection as a dementia patient. My advise to home / family caretakers is: please do yourself and the patient a favour by sending the patient to a 7/24 nursing home and don't try to take things into your own hands by providing care at home, unless you have teams of PSW, med equipment like pulse oximeter and mucus suction device and resources with such knowledge available on site. And if you have a family history of dementia, please stay healthy by exercising frequently and keep a habit of challenging your brain, like playing MJ / sudoku etc, learn a new cognitive skill (that requires thinking), like a new language. All the best.
The medications made my father dopey, developed skin irritations and gastrointestinal disturbances. We had to stop the medicine. Social interactions, exercise, doing things like puzzles, mahjong, bridge and good diet helps to slow down the progression of the disease.
我爸爸80+有失智症， 上天賜左兩個好工人比我哋， 第一個錫到我爸燶， 又換屎尿片， 半夜爸爸出走， 都係工人姐姐搵返爸爸， 因為只有姐姐知爸爸的路線圖。 但兩個合約後,姐姐要結婚生B。我地要換工人。
呢個新姐姐更加好， 半夜爸瀨屎瀨尿， 姐姐起身換幾次片， 又唔肯放假， 我真係好多謝姐姐對我爸的愛。 係6月頭， 我以為爸會離開我地， 我唔想佢住院， 我要爸爸走也可以在家抖埋最後一口氣， 所以就找左 在家離世 的公司幫忙， 佢哋提供左個醫生上門幫爸爸診症， 話爸未走得，叫我地放心。 禁又一個月了， 爸爸雖然差， 好少睜開眼睛， 但食到痾到， 重好有氣力鬧我， 真係好感恩😍🙏
人老了腦退化，器官衰退，免疫力低抵抗不了炎症而死亡，是自然界的事。不要期望藥物扭轉生命自然步伐。反而接受它，珍惜歲月，珍愛家人，這才是真正寄望。
我媽媽已有腦退化症住老人院，好心痛😔見她每次在退步，她已沒有表達能力，認知能力也差很多！這個病不是冇記性咁簡單，她基本自理能力也沒有😔⋯⋯幸好仲記得戴口罩的我
希望能夠往好的方面去想，起碼沒有太大的痛苦，又不需要面對手術或是癌症的治療方案！
加油！
接受現實,好好 侍奉媽媽,不必自責,盡了孝道便是了！🙏
去咗老人院更加退步快， 如果有人每日陪住佢做運動玩遊戲每日生活規律食嘢充足， 就會好好多。
@@louiseliu7162有錢先可以，一個冇咗自理能力嘅人基本上要二十四小時照顧，屋企有冇咁嘅人手呢

多謝劉醫生的忠告，由腦退化到尿道炎到細菌入血做成敗血症，再引致體內的器官著個著個地衰瘚，真是十分痛苦的一件事，亦好似被進行緊一個著刀著刀地切割身體而慢慢致死的刑罸。慘呀
其實家人细心点去留意老人家，会比做評估更快癸現退化情況。買东西買完又買。問題問完又問。就好明显。我媽除了以上，突然一天忘記了那支是洗頭水，我就確定她有老退化。结果我前后做了三次評估(包括私家)，又MRl都照了。仍說不是(因為我媽有中学歷，做事又细緻，所以做paper好高分)，结果推遲了三年才確診及用药。
而且，我常常和她打麻雀',做数獨，填顏色等，至今9年了，評估也只退了少少分。老人家尽力要行動到，尽力不要用尿片。一用尿片就問題多。
媽5年前跌倒，在医院當然用尿片，不准下床。回家第一件事学習行路及戒尿片。每二小時問她有沒有尿意，一步一步找回尿意感覺。这点十分重要，希望对大家有幫助。
我朋友的媽也是用我这方，一步步由用尿片到自己去廁所。
當然，终有一天她会失去这自理能力，但家人的努力会令这个日子晚一点耒臨。
❤，佩服您
劉醫生 這一集 對 “腦退化” 的分析 使大眾容易 明白 ……👍👍👍✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
感謝 劉醫生......🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
謝謝Dr Rex 的分享，當你一邊講，我一邊想起從前與爸爸的點滴，只可惜當時我知識唔夠，幫唔到他也不太諒解，現在心中仍滿有愧疚，每次都哭崩了…😖😭😭😭
祈望現在還有長輩和父母的朋友，能好好珍惜他們，他們的時間都在倒數中，無論幾辛苦，都要愛惜他們，否則換來是一生的愧疚🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
您好！我們現在也是照顧者，崩潰中的日子，但也是面對中，冇人希望親人有病，所以您千萬不要怪責自己！
傷心人別有懷抱!好一句撕心裂肺,肝腸寸斷,心裡戚然!
Thanks Dr Rex
好多謝劉醫生提點對老人家有腦退化症出現，這非常有用對我哋要照顧老人家時要多加留意!
同意越早得知家人患上腦退化並及早食藥及做訓練，可以減慢退化的速度。可惜現實上總有落差。曾有家人患上腦退化，當時我們對此病的病徵認知不足，未能及時發現。另一更大挑戰，是如何說服家人願意去接受評估，又不能陪診普通科時當者病者面前告知醫生，請醫生作初步評估/轉介。陪伴病者、照護病者的每一個經歷，滿是挑戰、挫折、㥬惶無助，加上看著病者受苦，那份辛酸，真的不足為外人道。
先父死於此病，有了經驗是好應對一些。
謝謝劉醫生講解，現在很多人有腦退化，看見很傷感，希望早日有更好藥物醫治😰
遠在香港我親戚是持照中醫針灸師，她說按壓某些穴能延遲腦退化，我沒注意學。
以前見老人院院友經常有尿道發炎原來係咁嘅原因，多謝Dr Rex 講解🙏🏻 以前喺醫院做隔離個部門係老人院經常見到老人尤其是失智嘅被疏忽照顧真係好無奈😢
又一次感謝Dr Rex 的寶貴知識分享👍🏼🙏🏼
感謝分享🙏❤️家父也是腦退化病人，很痛心的啊，而我已在美國生活，當時只好盡量爭取回港陪伴他，感恩美國有陪伴重病父母的假期可以申請，令我可以多陪父親走最後一程🙏🙏🙏
不要傷感！ 興幸你能生活在一個以人為本的國度！

我爸爸有一個漫長的失智症進程！😢
因用文字分享要寫好多好多字，所以不寫咯！
在此祝福家中有失智症病患者的家人，希望你們也能盡量付出耐性、忍耐、愛心…去照顧患者❣️
已走過的回憶、是傷感、心焦又無奈、但死者巳矣、仍慶幸他們曾有深愛過的家人陪伴！😢
感謝Dr Rex, 母親先遊之前都出現腦退化跡象, 幸而未惡化就走了😢
醫生醫生好有趣啊，尤其是係尾段有隻貓出嚟表演下個可愛樣…..😊
謝謝Dr Rex我已八十多歲患了Dementia 多年，有晒你所提的症狀，例如urinery incontinence etc.
但你比起好多同齡者好叻, 識上網, 又識打字, 仲識這樣深的英文, 我後生少少都唔識這些英文生字。
年輕時一定受過很多教育了.

我爸爸就是dementia 過身, 多謝Dr. Rex 分享
食藥那個我反对, 对病人完全沒有用的. 我在老人院, 医院做義工, 見过很多老人吃藥后, 原本精精神神, 后变得很弱, 因為身体弱了, 很多运动, 物理治療都做不到, 使老退化更惡化. 医生一定想信藥能治病, 腦退化藥到現在都是很差, 副作用比正作用高很多, 不值得吃. 用脚底按摩可以使老人吃得好好些, 睡得好些, 控制血糖. 血糖好, 那個病人会有追步, 不要說保持, 進歩也可以.
我母親及長兄都患有此症，母親初期是知道她自己的腦袋有問題的，她常常告訴我，她不知道自己的腦袋想什麼，問我甚樣可以死？幾時死？⋯⋯後來她少了說話，經歷五年，直到不懂吞嚥，部分食物去了肺部引致肺炎，要插鼻胃管，灌輸營養液，卧了床兩、三年才完全脫離痛苦，雖然有點不捨，替她高興得到解脫。
其實灌輸營養液是很大爭議，如果一開始就不做這個，她會脫水而走，是自然過程。輸液是人工吊命，增加在世受苦日子而已
@@pccl9358 我也同意你的看法，不過，母親的兩個兒子，不忍心這樣餓死母親。這兩、三年間，母親時常出出入入醫院，最後也是因為肺炎死。你可以想像一個卧病在牀的人，這樣搬來搬去是多麼難受，想到這裡，我也不禁傷感 😔

多謝劉醫生，呢個角度真係好少人講到。再謝劉醫生片尾派福利，下次可唔可以影阿寳？
長者有退化症，家人一路都以為只不過係年紀大，記性唔好，遲咗斷症，嗰陣時開始食Memantine已經太遲。最近退化得特別快，好多我哋一般人覺得理所當然嘅嘢，對患者嚟講，係好難理解乜嘢叫做常規，所以叫認知障礙，同埋醫生話雖然好多時候係長者先有呢一個病，但係由於遺傳嘅原因，好多佢嘅子女就算係中年，其實一早有病徵，只不過冇咁嚴重而被忽視😢！

三年前因肺炎過身的婆婆都有腦退化，剛巧死亡證都只是提到肺炎。
看着她最後連我都不認得，照顧她的印僱都疲於奔命（幸好她不良於行，否則更大鑊），我決定如果有朝一日自己有腦退化或者不能自理，就一張單程票去瑞士搞掂，不想成為別人的負累。
失智症是可以批準到?
支持安樂死
@@EF-hy6sb 不是無機會批准，偶有堅持不致人死的醫生拒絕安樂死前驗證。今連抑鬱症治不好也可申請安樂死。
@@simmingchan5830 睇見你嘅回覆 我半夜都大笑 因為如果腦退化的病人 有能力可以判斷自己病不能痊癒 不想連累家人 自己找地方去了斷 那麼這個人就沒有腦退化了
@@EF-hy6sb 真不好意思，沒有寫清楚。我指的大限到臨，不一定只是腦退化，例如癌症、腎病....都是致命的疾病。
Thank you Dr Rex. 人生苦。

得益很大，多謝醫生的分享。小貓咪好cool and cute.
劉醫生，感謝清楚解釋，好讓我能加多注意媽媽，正在醫院出現加多腦退化情況。🙏
多謝醫生資訊。
我舊鄰居之前係肌肉萎縮症死, 佢老婆話, 醫生同佢講佢先生得咗呢個症, 冇幾年命。原來肌肉萎縮症都係死症, 原因我唔識啦。
最記得佢老婆講, 佢先生會好辛苦, 好似話會好痛??? (唔知有冇聽錯?), 佢話仲慘過Cancer, 真係好得人驚 !!!

Dr Rex, 現有些貼的藥物，對比口服藥，請問那種對減慢腦退化效用好些？
暫時只好刻意唔食，好有可能含鋁嘅面包，油條
日本係咁講，希望老師指點下
Thanks for sharing. 媽媽患腦退化約7年，尚幸較早發現及治療，主要是短期記憶退化嚴重，仍可保留大部分自理能力。De. Rex說得對，此病長期折磨患者和照顧者的身心靈，經歷過的人才能體會當中痛苦。
移英約大半年，感受到英國對患者及照顧者的重視，政府和私營機構都有不少支援，唯針對港人/廣東話的服務較少，希望隨著更多港人定居，會有更多相應的服務。
Thanks
老人家就算腦退化唔嚴重，但最後一段日子譫妄症Delirium都好常見

請問除左記憶力變差，腦退化仲有乜病徵？
我父母同我記憶力都差，點判斷係咪腦退化？ 需要接受治療？ 謝謝！🙏🏻
可以自行測試嗎？
請找醫學專科常用測試辦法，我看書多年自學，知曉皮毛，目前我家兩男丁兩妹有初步徵狀。
請問柏金遜症算唔算係腦退化範園內的一種腦病呢？

And if you have a family history of dementia, please stay healthy by exercising frequently and keep a habit of challenging your brain, like playing MJ / sudoku etc, learn a new cognitive skill (that requires thinking), like a new language.
