      *My husband was diagnosed with multifactorial Alzheimer's disease. This also triggered epileptic fits.. To be blunt, all the prescription drugs we’ve used did not yield any positive improvement... Lately I have found that Homeocure-Worldwide natural treatment along with adopting a healthy lifestyle has helped him recover completely.

    12:43 6/10/24 I’m diagnosed with Vascular Dementia. I’m still functional but the right word alludes me, names are buried, and times and dates escape into the ethers. I wonder what will happen next all right. I’m still able to be the caregiver for my husband with other issues. Everyday is a gift, yet sometimes I wonder how much more I can handle. There is a plan for me and us. Positive thinking will keep me going.

      @menuchameinstein1584 you are very lucky to have a plan. I watched my father give consent to my Mother. She gets his pension. Which is 11 grand a month. She stuck him into a free veterans nursing home and spends that money every month like a drunken sailor. And she won't even visit him. So sad. I'm sad that I have a narcissist as a mother.

    My partner has this type of dementia, diagnosed when he was 57. He was also in denial and grew very frustrated by his own actions. We are no longer together as his parents believed his paranoia and they made it impossible for me to look after him any longer. I miss him everyday and I don’t know which is worse to have a partner die or to loose them to this awful disease.

      Sorry that you have to do that. Its extremely hard to deal with. My father has had it for 11yrs. I hate to say it but there are times I wish he would go soon. He should be in patient but my mother needs his pension to survive. Its a terrible thing! I wish you the best.love Kelly

    My mom had a stroke exactly one month ago. She is diagnosed with vascular dementia already. This is a women who took pride in everything. Ive got depression, anxiety, insomnia, psoriasis thats taking over my body from stress. I don't know if I'm able to deal with this. We lived together helping each other survive financially as my dad died of cancer when I was 16. All I keep thinking of is taking my own life so our home can be sold and she can be taken care of properly. If I could trade my life to make her comfortable I feel I owe it to her. Im struggling. Its only the beginning and its more bad days than good. I don't have a reason to live anymore. Waking up each day feels pointless.

      @@jml7365 My mom is doing worse. I reached out to a depression and anxiety organization but they just advised to see a psychologist which honestly I dont have time for currently. Yesterday morning my mom got a spot in aurora rehabilitation centre. I was told a ambulance would be taking her, half and hour later got a call, Dr canceled it. She was being sent for MRI & Xray, I'm not told why. I have to keep a eye on hospital because mom is in isolation due negligence. She has a CRE infection from not looking after her properly in hospital. I private hospital because she was fortunate enough to have a medical aid. There's so much I can say. I am literally black under the eyes, I get 2 to 3 hours sleep every 2nd day.

      We're dealt one hand in life, so play the cards you're dealt, but never fold. When morning comes, I think "it could be worse" - I think of the homeless and the refugees out in the heat and the cold, despairing, under garbage-bag roofs and cardboard box walls, children hungry and crying, unwanted and forgotten

    My Mom Had This Vascular Dementia She Would Cry Because She Couldn't Remember The Names Of Her 13 Children... It Was An Honor To Take Care Of Her.. She Couldn't Wait To Go To Heaven.. We Would Play Christian Music Daily For Her.. It Would Ease The Confusion.. I would read the bible to her and she would smile.. I miss her so much.. but know she is with her savior.. and would not want her back.. her new life with Jesus it so much better... no more suffering and confusing.. and I would read the bible too her toward the end.. one day I and my twin took care of her and we Will See Her and Jesus Soon

      It really is the "long goodbye". My husband had a stroke in 2004, and we enjoyed 6 good years. 2010 saw a decline in his cognitive ability and then came the diagnosis of mixed/vascular dementia and with the help of family members he was able to stay at home for 7 years. As a family we burnt out emotionally and physically until we had to accept that we could not continue the rigorous 24 hour care he began to require. We slowly came to the painful realization that we could no longer give him the care he needed and in 2017 we placed him in an assisted care facility. He does not understand or accept his diagnosis and fights every limitation. It is a roller coaster of emotion for both of us. Lately there have been more difficult days for him than good ones, but I try to enjoy the good days and make peace with the tough days by holding on to the good memories that we have made together. ​@kellysims5732
