    My dad was one of the most brilliant intellectuals I ever knew. He was reading books, working part time, attending church, and using his mind far into his 70's, and still got Alzheimer's. He was not a smoker, not a drinker, a very healthy man. Honestly, "slower progressive dementia" is hardly a reason for celebrating. Watching him decline over a period of 13 years instead of maybe a more rapid decline and merciful death, was not a blessing. So much research needs to be poured into this condition. It's absolutely gut-wrenching for those who have to go through it.

      You are so right! My mother fought valiantly. Clever woman, who knew her mind was going. But losing your marbles at 60 is worse than losing them at 75. More people are deciding to end their life rather than watch it fade once they are diagnosed. Save for a ticket to Zurich.

      We put in a wood stove this spring. This means stacking the wood when it gets delivered, bringing it inside for burning and keeping the stove in ship shape ... so, yeah, physical activity.
      I've found that my mind goes off on its own tangents when I start my diverse routines. But instead of the hamster-running-in-circles (which I get when I sit still), I think new thoughts, positive thoughts.
      Obviously, this is anecdotal. But I have to wonder, is there a difference in the "quality" of thoughts we have when we get some fresh air while doing light chores as opposed to being inside, working with our minds?
      We know that sunlight has a positive effect on our happiness, maybe that's all it is. And maybe, ultimately, a happy brain is a healthy brain?

    Just found out my mom has dementia after nearly a year of decline. It sucks but the doctor was right. She didn't take care of herself. Alcoholic until about 11 years ago. I'm so proud of her for that but it was just too late. She's smoked since she was 14 as well and she's 65.
    She was very physically active in her younger years until she got degenerative disc disease.
    Anyway, Point being, try really hard to take care of yourself. Everything in moderation.

    My grandma came to America when she was 17 yrs old, throughout her life she would do cross word puzzle. I always remember her doing that when I was a kid. She never finished Junior H.S and never had a H.S diploma but she was indeed a strong and smart woman. She always love doing her walk to play lotto, she never had a car and didn't get her driver license but she would walk to do her food shopping in Queens, NY where she lives. She always have a routine, sleep her 8 hrs everyday, not a depressing woman, will drink occasionally, takes care of her family and always cooked homemade food. Her daughter (my aunt) now cares for her because she has knee issues but she is grateful to God that her health is overall good. Recently my aunt told me that grandma got evaluated by the doctor for her cognitive and he was impressed. Because she has no signs of dementia. She's about to turn 87 yrs old this September. After the doctor gather information about my grandma background. He said to her and my aunt. That the reason she doesn't have dementia because of the combination of her lifestyle throughout her life. And that doing cross word puzzle helps simulate the brain which helps to exercise, it also applies to someone who handwrite. Grandma wasn't much of a reader because she had trouble understanding and reading in English. We are all praying she makes it to 90. Dementia sucks very few of her sisters suffer with it and recently passed away from it.

      Immune system more sensitive. This is extremely high for elderly people. She needs better hygiene in that area. They get rather passive about hygiene. If she has a carer try to get her to have a hot flannel wash (down below) before going to bed. Change her underwear twice day. New underwear after lunch. Make sure she is wearing clean underwear. Sometimes they forget if they live on their own. Also use wipes instead of tissue to clean down below. That helped my Grandma. She was getting it all the time. Also try drinking pure hibiscus tea daily. If she stays home during the day. Have her wearing skirts/dresses. Nothing tight in the area.

      @@h9comps943 Not the same thing, I experienced memory problems due to stress ... but maybe what I did can help you?
      If you can, take walks outside. Just 15 minutes most days of the week will help a lot. Set a routine and try your best to stick to it, e.g. get up 15 minutes early and start your day with a gentle walk. Don't get upset if you have a hard time getting into the routine at first, that is normal. Keep trying. Maybe it will just be one walk per month at first, that is okay. It's more than you did before.
      Learn new things, something you're interested in. It doesn't matter how good you get, it's important that you enjoy it.
      I also cut out all alcohol for about a year or so, not that I was a heavy drinker in the first place. Keeping a clear mind and being aware of yourself and your surroundings is helpful when you want to re-orient yourself. If you find that hard to do, please talk to someone who is qualified to help you.
      Overall, take steps that make you feel better long-term. They can be very small steps, and you don't always have to succeed, the important thing is that you tried at all. It will become easier over time, though.
      And with any luck at all, you'll find that your memory gets better. It might be very slow progress and you might feel you're not where you want to be, even after a lot of effort. It's still totally worth it.
      I've gone from being unable to remember simple words (like "umbrella") back to writing (simple) short stories for my own amusement.
      One last step: If you have a doctor you trust, please talk to them. If you don't, you might want to look for one. There are health issues that can cause depression, it would be best to have a specialist check you out. Self-diagnosis is not an option. If it's a question of money, call the doctor and ask how much it is ... maybe it's not as expensive as you thought, or there's a program to help you with the costs.
      Best of luck and I hope you find your way.
