Ginger, I had a dear friend die of this disease. It got so bad she forgot how to eat. She would not recognize family members. So sad. I miss her the way she used to be.

I was watching The Antiques Roadshow this evening and there was a lovely gentleman on who is 100, and the last surviving Battle of Britain pilot. It was great to see that although his speech was a little slow this horrible illness had given him a bodyswerve and his mind was as sharp as a pin.

Karen, I can relate to that. My mother is in a home. Very sad when they can no longer remember their children

My Mum was dx when she was 61, she got her angel wings when she was 71. It is an insidious disease, harder for patients in the 1st few stages where they have lucid periods when they remember how they used to be, but so hard on family in the last few stages. Just please remember that they are still your Mum/Dad/Grandparent etc so keep treating them as a loved family member and have patience.

If it's one organ that shouldn't have gotten diseases is the brain. And it's not even a mild you'll be fine disease, it's one of the worst ones that exist. I would rather get any disease anywhere else in the body but not the brain

Kiwozzie, both my parents had it and its so hard to watch. u dont try and correct them because it just confuses them. instead just go along with them and like u said treat them with love and patience and resoect.

Allen Adekunle, Sadly Not just Aged like myself. Am 68 +yrs problems started 5+yrs ago.. So depressing knowing/observing my own decline. perhaps better to be completely Bonkers..then I would not be aware of my condition 🤯

I have always thought that it's an old age disease.

I have read that a diet with lots of turmeric can help with avoiding Alzheimer’s .
Don’t know how true that is though

Sir Elliott Fredric, I do this for the same reason. its scary when I forget something that I should know.

Horrible disease, but my mom returned to her childhood days and it gave me a chance to get to know her and my grandparents in a whole new light.
