Just going through this with my mum. Have been battling with her GP and the memory clinic for months that she is deteriorating since her last memory tests but they both wanted to wait until October to run tests again. Then last Wednesday she ended up in hospital after a really bad stomach infection after I had to call an ambulance. I saw things that day no one should see their parent go through. It's a real nightmare getting help when their is no official diagnosis because until you get a mental capacity statement they can make their own decisions no matter how bad and can refuse help themselves and there is very little you can do. Saw her sister deteriorate with the same and I'm not looking forward to what's coming. The only positive in some ways is that mum thinks she is fine!!!

It's painfully difficult.
As well as other nasties, my mum is also on the way to dementia. Her short-term memory is largely gone and confusion is now a major part of her life. The other day, she confused a Pringle for the phone. She put the Pringle to her ear and then tried to speak into it. You literally don't know whether to laugh sympathetically or cry with fury at the injustice of it. A bit of both, probably. That's what she would have done previously. Sour cream and onion, I think.
Can you imagine what WHO is going to be like in 25 years?

Lost my dad to it last year (Lewy bodies dementia), wasn’t nice to watch at all. He’d go to the news agents at 4 in the morning to get the paper, lost all sense of time and would hallucinate badly and get really scared. It lasted 7 years which is exactly what they said it would and he spent 4 of them in a home. £850 a week to stare at the ceiling. But the good thing is it’s generally worse for us than it is them. Surprisingly he had moments of clarity and loved seeing his grandson up until about 6 months before he died and he did come out with some funny stuff along the way.

Lost my old man to it too. I used to visit him in his nursing home every couple of days and usually left with tears in my eyes.
Sad way to go.

Mums got Vascular Dementia, thinks she has 4 daughters (only one) and has no clue how to do anything . Will look at a kettle and have no idea how to turn it on. Constantly losing keys etc and thinks little people are living in the TV and set fire to the carpet and steal her money .She knows something is wrong tho so I suppose that’s something .
If I get it feel free to shoot me.

My old boy's got this. Between and that and my mum's terminal disease I'd opt for the latter all day long. Mind you, I also chose to support West Ham United.

He goes to see a Speech and Language Therapist every two weeks. Which is nice. Thing is, if you can't remember your own name, how are you supposed to remember memory techniques ?
