What are the symptoms of Alzheimer?
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 Alzheimer’s 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 Alzheimer’s 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, psychiatrist, counselor, 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?
snow-bunny, the relative I said who went through Alzheimer’s was also combative and accusation in the beginning. That’s why I asked. I don’t know the exacts of Alzheimer’s, but I do know that it’s just not memory loss
To answer your query, it’s really hard for anyone to accept that she has a disease so you need to become sensitive at dealing with the issue. Make your mother feel that your care for her is genuine, and once that she feels it or she’s reminded by your love, she might definitely desire to have herself checked by a physician to determine if she has Alzheimer symptoms.
For your comfort, I have attached several articles below, and they are in the form of links. Read them for a better understanding. I’m hoping the best for your mother.
