I feel for You. I do. My dad is on a feeding tube he is 87. My mom has Alzheimer's she is 80. I am on social security disability I am 57. My wife takes care of all of us. She get NO HELP from any one. My mom is combative. My wife comes home all of the time with bruises all over her body and my wife is a diabetic. I hope for your sake there is some one out there that can help you. GOD BLESS.

I am soooo very sorry for you. My Dad had early stages and it was the most difficult thing I've ever gone through! I didn't have M.S. to deal with either. If you are an only child, you can go through steps to have her deemed mentally incompetent. This is a very difficult direction because there are so many legal ramifications. If she has a medical living trust, are you or can you make yourself trustee? If you have an older sibling, perhaps he/she can help start the process. I would advise you to speak to her physician. Certainly he/she should be able to guide you through some possible options. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease to live with. It's a little different than just a memory loss, like dementia (which is basically a short memory loss) Alzheimers attacks major organs. It's not her fault, she has no control over what's happened to her, nor do you in trying to deal with it. It takes such an extreme amount of patience and it doesn't sound like your own physical ability should be put to that task. Please seek advise from her doctor. Perhaps your County officials can help with recommending programs or other options as well. I wish you the very best of luck. Your Mom has a terrbile disease to live with, I'm so sorry for that agony you both are going through.

There is an Alzheimer's Organization you can contact through the social services of your local hospital, or go on line, you will surely find it. My mother in law had this horrible disease, and it was devastating to the entire family. You definitely need all the support you can get, and, again, there is help out there. There will be a point where she will not recognize anyone in the family and by then she will have to be taken care of 24/7 in a nursing home. It is a sad fact, but you must face what will be the enviable. You need to take care of yourself! God Bless.

i think of you have a valid reason for subject yet I essentially wish you're incorrect. quite a few the indications you stated could be brought about with the help of medicine including antidepressants however the single that truly concerns me isn't remembering seeing human beings the day formerly. some issues you opt for to observe for are remembering issues from the distant previous greater efficient than issues that have befell at the instant, radical character variations, hallucinations, and getting lost or forgetting the place she is going. i'm hoping this facilitates. My mom had alzheimers. it is a unfavorable desease that destroys the recommendations yet leaves the physique intact. there is not any treatment.

The truth is you can't. My grandma who passed away this year, had Alzheimer's. Yes, this is what they do. People with this disease....drive you CRAZY!!! They go from happy to mean to sad, forget who you are...tell you stories from way back in the day..repeat the same thing over and over thinking they havent said it....etc. You know how it is. But you got to deal....you have to have patience. I only had to deal with this whenever I went to Mexico...(she lived over there with my two aunts and uncle) and just being there was insane. I could only imagine how tough it was for my aunts...so many years of patience. I'm sure its so tough on you too...but hey my aunts loved my grandma even if she most of time forgot who they are. Because before the Alzheimer's she was their mom...and this is what I'm saying to you too. She was once your mother..so if you love her...you will learn to have patience. Since you cant take care of her....just be patient until senior protective services respond...I'm sure they will. Think positive. Listen, I wish you the best of luck. Keep your head up...don't give up. Taking turns in taking care of her may help....best wishes go out to you. :) PEACE.

im really sorry to hear that...
but you should try to spend time with her b/c she will forget things soon and that wont be nice for you...
you should write memories in a journal....or your feelings and get someone to help you around the house and you should have your other siblings do things too..not only you..
i'm really sorry......
i'll pray for you...i really will
