Is anyone dealing with their LO vomiting after eating? Just a short while ago he was spitting food out. Now he throws up after a few bites. He’s losing roughly 4 lbs per week and sleeping 18+ hrs per day. Is he nearing the end? I have a video dr appt tomorrow to get a referral to hospice. Any help or insight greatly…
I began participating in this forum in May of 2025 after my DH received his Early Onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis. I learned everything from this online forum and the in-person Alzheimer’s Association monthly support group. In October of 2025, my DH had a severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC) flare. In hindsight, I didn’t realize…
This is my first time here. I've spent a lot of time reading some of the questions and answers but haven't found my specific concern. My father is 90 and has some dementia symptoms (we don't have a diagnosis yet). He and my mom live in their home. My mom does most of the work in the home including cooking, with some…
My dad passed away in December and my mom has been living alone ever since, 2.5 hours away from closest family (me). She has what my brother and I believe to be stage 4 dementia based on the DBAT assessment. Last month her PCP only diagnosed her with "memory loss," she scored a 24/30 on the MMSE, but he did take away her…
I am my mom’s HPOA/DPOA. She has a boyfriend she lived with for 28 years. Since she was placed in a nursing facility 6 months ago after a fall he is constantly stirring the pot. Today she told me she’s getting a petition signed to say she doesn’t have dementia and “it’s a secret”. She has Parkinson’s and related dementia.…

But now, as the dust of my loss begins to settle a little, my reflections and memories of our last few years flood over me. At times it just brings me to me knees, the tears flow…
Yesterday was not a good day for my DW….It was a total delusional day. she thought there was people in the house, her dead sister, father, mother and our sons who live in another state. when no one has been here. She has been started on a new medication which seems to have very little effect, but it is early. She got up…
I have noticed that my DW get's cranky when she's hungry. I ask her what she would like to eat and she says she doesn't want anything. I know she's hungry but refuses to eat. I ask her about all her favorite foods with no luck. It's just frustrating, because if she does actually eat something, she is in her happy place.
When I went to bed last night Doug asked me what my name was. God I hate this disease. It's like death from a thousand cuts.
