Horrendous vile illness we nursed Mom through to the end. I know she was 85 when she passed however it is not the way you want to see anyone go. We became her voice.

If you dont have a loving supportive family you are stuffed with this illness. Fortunately Mom did with us, I was told. Still think of the things I could have done differently or better.

It strips the person of everything. For us and Mom we were ''lucky'' as it was over in 3 years. People can live for years with it.
 
Awful. My friends (3 of them innit) had to see their dad go from head of family to really an empty shell. He 'hung on' for 2 or so years with everyone a total stranger to him.

Sad.
 
My Dad is suffering from vascular dementia. It is heartbreaking to see him deteriorate , and if his heart went pop tomorrow non of the family would be upset.
 
A lot of Monty Python was crap and student humour in all fairness. But I agree it's an awful disease.
 
Research points to MCT (medium chain triglycerides) found naturally in coconut oil, as beneficial in the treatment of dementia and alzheimers

It has got to be worth a shot

My partners mother passed away a few years ago from dementia, horrible soul destroying disease, wish I had read the research in time to help, now we both take coconut oil regularly, I must advise others to do the same


 
Cheers Juan. I will do anything not to go where my Mom did. I never ever want to see anyone I love go with it again nor I don't want to put that on mine.

I was scared stiff earlier this year Mr KK was developing young on set dementia because of the confusion etc. that was going on with him.

Turns out thank goodness there can be more than 1 reason and it was the untreated water retention causing the confusion as we found out in his hospitals stays.

I am so damn sensitive to the illness now. It frightens the life out of me

Diagnosed with dementia

No way to end such a life, absolutely gutted

I hope his suffering is short

Forgive me, I'm going the other way. The humour that got me through the 90's was demented so I'd rather believe he'll enjoy every second until he passes quickly.

I'd rather he went out with a smile on his face, knowing he'd just let one off that people hadn't noticed yet.
