Default Re: Dealing with aging family members - Alzheimers especially


I certainly have been through this type of thing and am going through something similar right now. Alzheimer's is especially devastating and difficult to deal with.

I don't want to go into details, but while it certainly painful and difficult to deal with these things, it can also bring family members close together which can be a good thing.

My thought is that if you come from a good family you are lucky, because it will be a lot easier you might even get some satisfaction from dealing with this situation.

Another thing I would suggest is that you make sure you go to the best medical professionals you can find. There is a huge difference in the quality of doctors. It is possible to be misdiagnosed with Alzheimer's. It happened to someone in my family
