    My 90 yr old mother has all of these symptoms. We have suspected Alz for the past couple years. She has fulltime home care (me) and my sibs and I will work to keep her out of a nursing home. She is still eating well, conversing, playing puter games, enjoys her tv shows, helps with baking and laundry because she wants to do it. Mom is also fully ambulatory. She is 100% supervised and we will let her enjoy her life as is for as long as possible. Thanks to the doctor for an informative vid.

    My wife was diagnosed medically last year at age 58 with moderate dementia. It took me two years to get her to agree to a neuro assessment, but looking back I am sure she was presenting symptoms for at least five years earlier. Her Neurologist told me my wife was the 3rd youngest patient he has had in 30 years of practice. Bottom line is dementia can hit even young people and you may think the symptoms are something else. Horrible.

      your not taught this in america or most places or on tv but almost all health issues are casued by nutrition deficiencies and are easy to fix within a week. Nutrition ivs and nutrition injections supper effective in healing reversing health issues. you heal reverse dementia/altimers by myers cocktail iv and b12 injections. you get dementia/altimers because of b12 deficiencies. for example japan has the lowest rate of dementia/altimers because they health care system make sure there citizens get enough b12. You check your nutrition levels with thourough nutrition blood tests only functional medicine mds will do that and they know optimal levels not reg providers. anybody with health issues the root main cause is nutrition deficiencies. mental health issues, headache issues sleep issues balance issues the list goes on and on and its becasues of nutriton deficeinces. myers cocktail iv, vitamin d injection b12 injection, gludathione iv coq10 injections will heal and keep you at optimal health year round thats what pro althetes and rich people do year round. just type in google nutrition iv therapy near me. go get them done and start healing quick nutrition ivs and injections have been around since 1950's its a hidden secret casue there super effective and cure. anybody with altimer/dementia should do myers cocktail iv and b12 injections watch how fast they improve.

    I have MCI, and I’m 54. I have a lot of these symptoms. I was very aware that these things were happening, but it was very hard to get help because of my age and the fact that I was aware of it. I don’t get a lot of support because people don’t believe me because I don’t fit the profile of someone who usually has this disease. I also try really hard to keep myself together and it comes across as nothing being wrong with me.

    • @BetterHealthWhileAging
      @BetterHealthWhileAging  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +24

      I'm sorry to hear you're having symptoms at this age. You may want to look for a support group for MCI; esp if you look online, you might be able to find other people in your age range. You could also look to see if there are any trials you might participate in; I believe there are trials for MCI included at www.alzheimers.gov/clinical-trials.
      Good luck!

      Thanks for this comment & for sharing your story. I'm so sorry your mother had mental illness and then dementia. We do know that people with a history of severe mental illness are at higher risk for dementia and they tend to get it earlier in life than people who don't have mental illness. It's still very hard to sort out though.

      You are correct. For instance, an individual with undiagnosed and untreated dyslexia will often struggle unsuccessfully to voice an intended word but will come close. For instance, such a person trying to find the word "ocean" may instead say "lotion." If this is something that has happened the person's entire life, it obviously is not a sign of early dementia. One of the excellent points of this video is that family and physicians must see the patient as a whole and not as a single symptom.

    While we understand these signs now, there is no cure for dementia or Alzheimer's, my clever and smart Mum started developing these signs at 82, but she was aware where it would lead to. While she did puzzles, crosswords kept active and ate good food and was a social person, it eventually got to her and she passed away at 89. It was difficult for me to see her deteriorating and understand this disease. My aunt too, Mum's sister-in-law, got the best help as she lived with her daughter who was a Nurse and with my Uncle who looked after her, but could not stop her passing away at 86.

    Many people have only around a dozen really great stories about things they have experienced in life, and they enjoy telling them - especially with people they have only recently met.
    It is a way of being entertaining and covering up nervousness. It is only when they start to repeat them with the same audience that we might think they are having mental difficulties (or, at the very least, that they need some new writers).

    Another warning sign is time travel . My late grandmother had Dementia no she didn't build a time machine but in the later stages of the disease her mind went back to her teenage years. In 2009 my grandmother was admitted into hospital and the doctor came to see her he ask my grandmother what year it was? She replied April 1936 then told me to get some coal from the outhouse and to fetch food from long closed shops and told me to ask her step father for money. But she didn't know my dad or my grandad or me but could remember names of neighbours from 1936 so surreal. My grandmother died a year later after having a stroke.

    I'm so glad I found this information ! My best friend since we were 14 year olds ( met in parochial school in1961) was going out of her way with comforting emails after my beloved dog died. All of a sudden - no more communication whatsoever ! it turns out she has dementia, which is really freaking me out. Her daughter says all she does is sit in front of the TV all day long, which of course, is NOT GOOD NEWS. I am three months younger than she is, and have severe balance issues and forgetfulness (like going into a room and saying to myself "what did I come in here for ?") I sometimes can't immediately remember the word for something and will say something like "can you hand me that thing ?" which makes my husband irritated, that I didn't at least TRY to remember the word. Do I have the beginning of Alzheimers or dementia ? PLEASE tell me what your opinion is - it troubles me to no end (I'm 77 years old, and would go see a doctor if you think I really should.) THANX

      What you're describing cognitively sounds pretty typical...probably the question you could explore at this point is whether you are experiencing normal aging (quite possible) versus mild cognitive impairment (MCI); you can learn more about MCI here: betterhealthwhileaging.net/qa-how-to-treat-mild-cognitive-impairment/
      I hope you have also talked to your doctors about your severe balance issues, and what can be done to help prevent falls.

    i experienced something with my mother in 2019, that struck me as a possible sign, maybe more acurately a "late warning sign", since she was 85, but it was "early" for me. I was taken aback, it was so odd, since my mother had such a sharp mind, on the whole. This might help someone else put things togther in their own experience. it was this: i was working on helping her setttle in, after a move, one she said would probably be her last move. She had a painting, on thick cardboard, and i noticed it had separated. The back part that had come apart was clearly covered in black mold, and needed to be thrown away. I casually showed it to her, and said, " This goes out, right?" and much to my surprise she kind of freaked out, and snapped at me to leave it alone. I tried to reason with her, being utterly surprised, but she was firm, exasperated and told me to put it down, to leave it there, on her patio sofa...... She also had frequent trouble with her phone, her hearing and with the internet/her computer, and looking back ( she passed away last year) i now realize she was probably struggling with this for a few years even before 2019. She would often claim there were computer problems, and be out of touch for awhile, and I didn't take it too seriously since she lived in an enclave where she would be checked in on regularly, and also, was a person who really liked her privacy. As it happened, it was to be her "last move", and though she had in mind to move again in 2021, it was not to be. ❤‍🩹

He sleeps 17 or more hours a day. When I do get him out of bed he just goes back and gets back in it. He won't leave the house. He has lost interest in all of his friends and support groups. He has gained so much weight that it scares me. I think he is up to 400 pounds now. He is not thinking clearly anymore. And he is way behind on our bills. This has been going on for 5 years.

      So sorry for your losses. Some older adults are indeed very aware that their memory is having trouble. I usually reassure them that this is common and then try to redirect their attention to something that helps them feel better about themselves. It's important to validate their concern if they have it, but then we need to find things to say that help them feel better about the moment they are in.

    Early signs:
    1) Who are you?
    2) I did not eat anything today.
    3) Now if you pinch a patient, the reaction is “uff”. You ask what’s wrong? The reply is “ you pinched me”.
    4) You ask have you been cleaned? The reply “No”. ~ now you wonder “how come”.
    5) You ask: where is your spouse? You hear “ She/He died” when the person is in front of the patient.
    6) You ask tell me the colours of a rainbow!! You hear “ black and white”
    7) You took a red shirt and hold in front of the patient !! Ask the patient “ can I take this”! To your utmost surprise you hear “ No, that’s my favourite”.
    8) At what age a person shows the symptoms? With a team members it’s obvious to ask for language assistance if participation is mandatory and in case “ brain dead “ symptoms are predominant in the team.

      I recommend you watch my video explaining the difference between MCI, Alzheimer's & Dementia: th-cam.com/video/m8_kM_BQQXc/w-d-xo.html
      There is no particular way that mild cognitive impairment (MCI) affects language. MCI means a person is having some kind of difficulty with some form of cognition, but overall the difficulty is not bad enough to affect independence in usual activities. The most common type of difficulty is memory, however in some people, it might be language. Using the incorrect word often sounds like a cognitive issue. Difficulty with pronounciation could be cognitive or could be related to the nerves and muscles related to speech having some kind of issue.

      If you are seeing many warning signs of early Alzheimers, at that point it's generally too late to prevent it :(
      Prevention works better for people in midlife. I don't have a video on that yet, but may be able to do one later this year.
      The most important things are reducing risk factors for cardiovascular disease (e.g. high blood pressure, high blood glucose, high blood cholestorol, smoking), reducing inflammation in the blood and body (which is often related to nutrition, gut health, sleep, stress), getting regular exercise, treating any hearing loss as early as possible, eating the "Mediterranean diet" (lots of veggies, fiber, healthy fats, nuts, fruits), and having soul-nourishing social relationships. Being cognitively engaged in your work or in something else that keeps the brain challenged is also good.
