By Carole Larkin
Hi Carole, this is Candy inwards Tyler TX. You were a neat assist to me too my identify unit of measurement inwards caring for my mom. She passed away inwards Apr after a long mental too physical battle.
The final few years nosotros had aid for her around the clock, but were able to travel along her at home. I actually appreciate your back upward too help. Also, the Alzheimer’s conference inwards Tyler a few years agone was real helpful.
I am emailing you lot today to meet if you lot receive got whatsoever advice for me. I receive got had some
concerns nigh my retentiveness over the final couplet of years. Nothing major, too
some of it is in all likelihood due to undiagnosed ADD :)
If I receive got some concerns, would you lot recommend that I become somewhere to larn
checked, specially considering my mom too her dad both had Alzheimer’s. If you lot would
recommend that, where would I start?
Hope you lot are doing good too I appreciate your fourth dimension too feedback.
Thanks,
Candy
From Carole Larkin.
My belated condolences to you lot too the residue of your identify unit of measurement on your mother’s give-up the ghost inwards
April. It’s ever so, therefore difficult going through this.
You know, I’m constantly looking over my shoulder worrying that I receive got a cast of
Dementia, equally my mom had Alzheimer’s too Lewy trunk affliction (confirmed at
autopsy). To start with, allow me tell a couplet of things.
We’re at our highest peak cognitively when nosotros are inwards our early on 20’s. It’s piece of cake downhill
from in that location for ALL of us! Too bad we’re all the same emotionally young at that age! ; < )
Have you lot been nether stress inwards the past times couplet of years? Of course of didactics you lot have, because of your mother’s illness, if for no other reason, too I bet in that location are plenty of other reasons.
Heavy stress is a mutual crusade of retentiveness loss. The individual is preoccupied alongside the stressors too doesn’t detect things around them, too therefore thinks that they can’t scream upward what has happened, when what has actually happened, is that they didn’t detect things to laid about with.
If you lot never noticed it inwards the origin place, how could you lot dredge it upward from your memory? You never planted it inwards your retentiveness to laid about with.
You’ve said to a greater extent than than in ane lawsuit to me that you lot know that you lot are ADD. OK, if that’s true, that agency that you lot can’t actually ever travel along your attending focused on things. If you lot can’t travel along your attending focused on ane affair or some other for a pregnant menses of time, how are you lot going to detect it long plenty to implant it inwards your retentiveness to retrieve later?
The elementary response is you lot can’t, at to the lowest degree non for everything, therefore naturally it’s going to seem similar you lot don’t scream upward things, but inwards truth, you lot never paid plenty attending to them inwards the origin place, non that you lot can’t scream upward them.
By Definition people alongside ADD pay less attending to to a greater extent than things that “regular” people. I gauge that’s why they telephone phone it Attention Deficit Disorder. If you’ve been feeling downward too depressed for a long time, that’s some other argue for retentiveness loss, too fifty-fifty a few other symptoms that mimic dementia. That’s why identify unit of measurement doctors receive got a style to paw out anti depression medicines first, earlier they fifty-fifty consider looking to meet if in that location is dementia there.
Sometimes they are correct inwards doing that, too sometimes they are wrong. But depression is to a greater extent than mutual than Dementia, specially inwards people below the historic menses of 65, therefore that’s why they start there.
There are screening tests for depression, too your identify unit of measurement MD tin give you lot ane or ii of those tests, to exclude that equally a argue for retentiveness loss. Dementia is therefore much to a greater extent than than merely retentiveness loss. It’s likewise loss of logic too reasoning power.
If you lot are beingness told that you lot are doing illogical things past times the people around you lot every day, too therefore live on concerned.
If people around you lot are maxim that they receive got noticed that your personality has changed, live on concerned.
If the people around you lot are maxim that you lot don’t seem to live on aware that you lot are acting differently, or that you lot fifty-fifty expect differently (like non keeping yourself up, past times bathing enough, dressing appropriately for the weather) too therefore you lot should live on concerned.
Finally, people who receive got existent retentiveness loss, never scream upward the termination or individual later. I hateful never, ever scream upward it. It’s equally if it never happened. If you lot scream upward afterwards ( hours or days even) that you lot forgot something, that’s non dementia. It’s merely getting older. It takes longer for all of us to retrieve memories the older nosotros larn because nosotros receive got merely that to a greater extent than “stuff” inwards our heads, that we’re bombarded alongside every day.
It’s doggone close impossible to travel along rail of it all, too and therefore you lot receive got everything on your jail mobile telephone phone on top of that!
However, if none of the inwards a higher identify applies to you, too it’s confirmed past times the people around you lot every day, too therefore if your Social Worker friend is all the same around, receive got her download the MOCA (the Montreal Cognitive Assessment) dementia screening exam from the meshing along alongside how to flat it.
You can’t live on the individual to download it because you’d meet it too that would skew your marker on it, too and therefore it would live on useless equally a screening test.
If you lot marker lower than a 24 on it, larn dorsum inwards deport on alongside me, because too therefore nosotros would receive got something to beak about. OK?
Best wishes, Carole
