kcraft38 Same story with you!If only people knew what we are going through!No one can feel us.Sometimes i get so upset and hate the people who have no Alzheimers.The bad thing is that i have the genes and I am already forget things all the time...
SSS thank you for telling us. That's awful, she could have lived a longer, healthier life if im fact we knew of a cure. I hope and prayer she is with her maker.
Her young son stated, “She can’t do much but she is still with us,” with a smile. The reporter then asked him, “Does that bother you sometimes?” WHAT?! Rude and insensitive to ask him such a question. I am appalled.
I understood the question as, "Does that bother you sometimes that she can't do much?" just as a way to open up and discuss his feelings. I don't think the reporter was asking, "Does that bother you sometimes that she's still with you?" That'd just be appalling, but then again you never know.
That is what reporters do. They dig for answers that will make an impact. That question was what you would expect from a shrink, and also a reporter. Remember Barbara Walters ? she used to ask questions that made people wiggle with discomfort but it was the job. That young man was bothered evidently but he knew he had to deal with it . What could he do ? it is like mourning your loved ones, before they actually pass. Yes, they are still " here" but they are no longer communicating. Very sad situations. Hard on the families.
I think you took what the reporter said in the wrong manner. She just wanted to know if hes bothered by the fact his mom cant do much any longer. Dont know Why you are appalled. Reporters always ask insensitive questions. They are told to ask them.
My mom passed away from this horrible disease, it's so heartbreaking, I was one of her full-time primary caregivers... My thoughts, love and prayers go out to you & your entire family.... I wish there was something I could do to eliminate this disease, it steals your mind, body and soul.... All my love to you & yours, God bless you
I can't wait till they find more answers to help get rid of Alzheimer's. Amy is not alone there are a lot of younger people with this diagnosis. I love how the children get to play with their mother because she will become more and more childlike. I've been through this myself and I'll never be the same my heart goes to your family.
Did the interviewer really have to ask the son if it felt like she was just a body sometimes. He was trying to find the sliver of a silver lining and you can see he is visibly upset.
Cancer is bad but this is 100x worse!!!! It scares me so much , I have always said I want to be in a home away from everyone as to not be a burden , I won’t know where I am or failing that just smother me with a pillow! I’m only 32 now but seeing these stories of 31 year olds and maybe even younger is truly truly heartbreaking
Kiris Weeks you will not survive if you have synovial sarcoma or DIPG maybe do ur research and see what those do to a persons body makes u unrecognizable beyond belief ravages your insides into the worst imaginable pain u stop eating stop talking have seizures blood clots lose your mind and everything with some cancers so
Well, we know that common pesticides, herbicides and all the "cides" are bad for our bodies. It has been suggested , early stages of pregnant women should avoid contact with such poison as Round-up or , they may end up with fetuses that have serious defects, like mental retardation or no brain at all. This stuff has a terrible carcinogenic and damaging ingredient, call glyphosate. Monsanto knows that but refuses to stop manufacturing it. You can buy it anywhere in hardware stores. If you have done any research, you do not touch that stuff. You put salt on your weeds or just pull them ! No deadly poisons. I happen to think they are the reasons why so many people get ill. My opinion and others as well, but you have to become the protector of your environment. It is not done by our government. I only eat organic, use no poisons in my house, only natural products. I do not get the flu shot as it is only 10% effective and not even guaranteed since it constantly mutates. The poisons in these vaccines are mind blowing but most people just trust the protocols of the CDC, FDA and Pharma. I don't . I am old but my mind is pretty sharp. I have questionable near memory but I work on that. Listen to music ( not rap ) play an instrument or learn to play one. Learn another language..Read, a lot, exercise, get physical.....and take no poisons . It is safe to guess, our environment is lethal to our well being.
I like the way this lady explain this illness. She's very knowledgeable and professional. I hope this family copes well with their mother's condition. Excellent reporting 👍
My great grandma and grandmother has this disease . To put it harshly it was a 'burden' to take care of her . She was sometime yelling , going around the neighborhood 10x a day , my mother couldn't stop her because she was sometime went berserk and throwing anything around, it was like she was going back to a child , we could see that she was tired but it's like something pushing her to do so. Well she passed away 3 years ago , peacefully , in her sleep just like my great grandma too. Now i'm afraid , as you see it ran in our family , i'm afraid my mother will have the same thing or even me .
Thanks for posting your comment and sharing your story. My dad passed away with dementia as well back in 2012. He had many of the same symptoms, so I know what you experienced. It's hard to deal with. May God be with you and show you His kindness and grace. May the love of His Son Jesus surround you and embrace you warmly. Please take care.
God Bless you all! You are a loving and amazing family & giving back the unconditional love she has shown you. I went on this journey with my mom and it was heartbreaking on a daily basis. She will continue , however, to Bless your life in ways you never thought possible & you will all be better human beings because of it. Keep the faith, it is so hard, but you are all doing a great job.
This disease is a living hell! My mother didn't get early onset, just regular Alzheimer's. I keep asking the Lord, how much longer? You really have to die to self every single day! 12 times a day, I show her where the bathroom is. She hates taking a shower! This illness is a prison sentence for the family!
She could qualify for assisted living. If her income allows, she may qualify for Medicaid which would pay for it. It is very difficult to care for people with Alzheimers, sometimes they are up all night too. It's a 24 hour, 7 days a week job.
i was diagnosed with early onset dementia, a few years ago. THANK YOU LORD i have not gotten as bad as these poor folks.. I am having memory lapses on a regular basis and being a bit more moody. im 61 yrs old
At least he has lived a full life (I assume). Its much easier for relatives to accept when it in some sense is expected. When someone is under 50 its just a shock. Either way, yes, its horrific.
Øystein A. it's not easier to accept. people don't understand the whole family dynamics have changed, the stress level, the worry, the cost of care and the unknown future for all is scary. I know, I was caregiver for my husband until I could no longer do it and he had to go to long term care, I was there everyday for a year and a half until he died. it was sad and very, very, very expensive
Alzheimer's is such a devastating disease. It robs a person's personality, dignity, memory, all capabilities, the ability to use the toilet etc. No matter what age the person is, it's never ever easy to accept.
My dad had been missing for 7 years, they found him wandering for hours to the next town over... alcohol and family history gave him early dementia 😔 he has so much memories he can hardly access and I have so much I never got to tell him, I visit him in the hospital my aunt is finding him a care home.
I am incredibly grateful not to have Alzheimer's in my family. My mother is 99 and is completely free of it. The worry about getting it yourself, after a parent or other ancestor / relative had it, would be difficult to cope with.
My father passed away at 87 from Alzheimers in 2010 … my mother, at 89, was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia nearly two years ago. And yes, my siblings and I are fearful of it striking us as well. It’s such an awful disease.
My husband just died this week he was 78 10 years he struggle hard not to loose himself I tried to keep him alert to things around him ,the last few months he became very quite not eating and cheeking his meds or just not taking them ,he stopped eating ,this is a horrible way to live ,he gave up ,
Cancer does not eat your _soul_ unless it's in the brain. With cancer, you can tell when the patient is really dead. With ad, death is an ongoing ordeal. It progressively eats you until you've lost everything that makes you _you._
I'm very sorry that this beautiful family has to loss their lovely mom. I'm fully taking care of My Alzheimer's Mom. It's really scared being realized that I have to be prepared to loss her soon..😢😢
My grandma had this disease for 20 years and got progressively worse, when I was a teenager I often had to grandmasit because she could not be left alone, even to go to the bathroom. At the time I hoped doctors would find a cure for it, now 40 years later, there is still no cure for it or cancr or heart disease. . In my opinion these diseases are cash cows for doctor and the medical industry, without dementia heart disease and cancer patients hospitals, research centers, hospices and doctors practices would quickly go belly up. But when a dementia patient is not cured, then researchers, doctors.psychologists, occupational therapists, ,the caregiver, the pharmaceutical industry would all be put of a job
JaveyDones you totally took that out of context. He was being positive and saying when he gets upset, he gets past it because there’s always a new day tomorrow.
My heart breaks for you and I send you all my love and best wishes . I recently had my mother diagnosed with Alhzeimers although she is older then your dear mother I have a pain in my heart for my mum and I wish I could take away the Alhzeimers but realistically I know I cant and it hurts . It is scary for both my mom and our family as they say only time will tell just how much longer we have with her but we will make every minute count .
I just wish we knew why this is happening to people, now it's not just the elderly. My Grandma was diagnosed at 80 she has had it for 5yrs now, it's really terrible to watch this happen to any loved one without even knowing why it happened or get a cure. We have to do everything for her 24hrs a day. She used to be very independent it took everything.
I grew up watching my brother die by inches. He suffered a chemically induced brain injury at the age of 6 months and developed Progressive Encephalopathy (progressive brain death), extreme, uncontrollable epilepsy, low muscle tone, and more. When he was 4, we discovered he had also been born with Cystic Fibrosis (this is before all babies were tested for it). He died at the age of 10 when a 6+ hour long grand mal seizure caused cardiac and pulmonary arrest. He was DOA at the Children’s Hospital. It was hell. I won’t lie and tell you any part of it was easy. He’s been gone for 18 years and I still miss him like it was yesterday. But I would never trade a single second of it for anything. He taught all of us so many things, including about who we are and who we want to be. I became disabled following a freak injury at the of 17 and in the 13 years since I became disabled, it’s been the things my brother taught me that keep me going. I credit him with the happy life I have today.
MAEGAN Diagostino he's going to be fine he's actually going to do the work to deal with his life like everybody should do not like most who don't accept their life or responsibility or the reasons why they feel a certain way
He is just low key. This is not genetic. It is acquired. According to Dr. Bruce Lipton, we can control and change our DNA , so there is nothing we can blame our relatives for. All up to us to fix it or let it damage us. We need to learn how to use our brains and our minds which we seriously neglect.
Flexmeister hi i work for enchanted Care solutions and am a caregiver they work through the state if she has Molina United and others plus Medicare /Medicaid they might be able to get a caregiver for her ask for Natasha or Evelyn. I'm Tina phone 492-9236.hope this helps good luck
Actually, medical conditions can give symptoms of dementia or someone who is unfamiliar with anything else. For example, Kris Kristopherson (sp?) was being treated for early Alzheimer's and actually had been exposed to Lyme disease. Lack of vitamins, thyroid disease, are just a few examples. It's like a diabetic who gets pulled over for " drunk driving" and of course they can't drink because of sugar levels. They need a candy bar or insulin not detox
Little Bit - I recently met a woman who was diagnosed with MS in her late 50s, which is quite late to develop it, after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. She blew clean on a breathalyzer and tried to explain to the officer that she had an undiagnosed health problem that caused her balance problems, but they refused to believe her and arrested her and held her for several days to get court ordered blood testing and urinalysis. It all came back clean, obviously, and she was released with no charges being filed, but it was enough to get her doctors to realize she wasn’t exaggerating. Testing proved she had a fairly rapid moving form of MS.
This seems to be another case of Creutzfeldt Jakob disease, passed as Alzheimer's, so as not to arouse panic among people. Cases of Mad Cow Disease occur in the U.S. each year, yet regulators only test a tiny percentage of the 32 million cattle slaughtered annually. In Europe, all older cattle are tested for Mad Cow Disease, and in Japan every cow slaughtered for human consumption is tested. Similarly most deer, elk, and moose, are killed and consumed with no testing for CWD required. These prion diseases in animals can cause this "Alzheimer" in people. If it were Alzheimer's, the life expectancy would be 8 to 20 years, but it is definitely a prion disease, which are fatal and kill the patient in less than 2 years.
My heart goes out to them and their family members. I watch people a whole lot. When I go out in publisI used to watch people and wonder how it feels to be normal. About 21 years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus. I was released to find out. What I have that's screwing up my life, has a name. I'm not crazy!!! Like so many doctors said I was. Now the depresson, but I snapped back into reality with the speed of lightning. I accredited it to the teaching shown to me by my spiritual auntie Ramona. my life is all roses and rainbows. what I go through on a daily basis, is tuff. But what they have to face and knowing your outcome is bleak. I believe God puts only what and how much he knows you can handle.
Marlette Childs, Lupus is an awful thing I agree with you. I know one lady with it, that I have followed for many years now, and she has what seems to be every drug issue and Lupus complication under the sun. I honestly have no idea how she copes with it all, but she does. I'm chronically ill too
and have several conditions that are genetic and 3 auto immune conditions. Even though I didn't realise it I was born with 3, but I have been seriously ill for about 3/4's of my life. I did used to work in physical disabilities, their lives were completely different to any child or adult just
because they required so much care. I'd often wish I could take them home with me, their lives were so restricted.When I first started to get ill and my life got smaller and smaller. I would think back to all of those people and realise how good I'd had it. I still think of them and realise I have
nothing to complain about. Alzheimer's took my father but he was in his 70's, this seems so much more unfair, to all involved. Those kids need their mother. She deserved to have more life. Her husband deserved more too. I don't know but I believe there are fewer and fewer healthy people in the
Wow, well done to Amy Norton on sharing her story and well done to her amazing children in adapting to the change having a parent living with Young Onset Dementia. Hope everything is well in the future.
@@and2409 a conjunction of many factors: frailty, due to malnutrition can cause infections, heart problems, falls, etc. This happened to both of my parents. They died about 3 months after their dementia got pretty bad.
My late ex Mother In Law had Alzhiemers for approximately 15 years ,if not a little longer, before her passing. Now her Daughter, my ex, is in her 10 th year of dealing with Alzhiemers.
I am astonished that 5 million Americans have this. That is a massive number when put into context with the population. That is nearly 1 in 60 people. Very sad indeed.
While reading these comments, I came across one that said that "God" won't give you more than you can handle. I'm truly appalled at how many people think God makes people sick.. Jesus healed people when He was here on earth...NOT make people sick. He came to destroy the works of the devil. I honestly cannot believe what God gets blamed for....by His people, nevertheless. Jesus is still healing people today, by the way.
Understanding someones situation really!! Understanding it helps dont think nothing can happen to. You can wake tomorrow blind totally! Jist happened to my uncle for three months could see anything!! For 54 years he could see he just his eyes back and what thing to go threw he woke up one day to total blindness!!!!!
Alzheimer's disease is such a terrible disease I pray for a cure! There was on time a 31 year old that was pregnant had Alzheimer's disease and that is heartbreaking!
Seems like sometimes reporters try to cross over into a therapist role. I suppose their empathy is the driving force. But they need to remember that’s not the role they are placed in.
I think the problem with this disease talking bout on a very microscopic level is to prevent how it gets in the brain that way to be detrimental to ones health.things you work around causes this.wear a respirator mask that filters out caustic metals of fine powders that would go in the blood to clog vital neuron pathways and the pathways vital for reasoning and comprehension etc.a clean pure air unpolluted work environment is so important to prevent future complications that are the causes of these problems clearly.
Andy T Alzheimer’s is the literal death of brain cells. Memory is usually one of the first things that’s affected, but as more brain cells die, you die.
Eventually you are unable to eat because your body has forgotten how and the consistency of food causes choking. So without nutrition, you starve. It is a process and when it starts you are still eating, but as it goes on, you eat less and less.
MY STORY: My mother has early onset Alzheimer's that turns out is genetic, last year at only 28 I found out, I have a 50% chance of getting it too 😕 it has been devastating but I'm doing my best to cope. *Started a UA-cam channel about my journey to cope, and to connect with others who are going through hard times and to use the platform to potentially help or inspire others. *Would love genuine support for my channel! Trying my best to build it up. Please subscribe, you don't have to have your notifications on if you don't want. 🙏 Would appreciate the help in these hard times. ❤️ Being able to eventually monetize my channel would help make life a little better as well.
sincerely my dad was diagnosed with ALS early this year march to be precisely, and was so confused because I love my dad and wouldn't want to lose him so soon so I decided to look possible solution to ride of this ALS despite knowing it has no cure advised by the medical doctor. Everyday my dad's health depreciate keep losing weight and strength a friend advised me to try DR OKOLO ALS herbal formula that she use to cure her dad's heart disease and I was reluctant about it until after a second thought I decided to give a try because no harm in trying immediately I contacted him he assure me my dad will be cured within few weeks of medication and he sent me the medicine and I applied it on my dad as advised by DR OKOLO within 6weeks of using the herbal formula my dad was cured and my dad is free from ALS I went to the hospital that said there is no cure to ALS and informed them about my dad's healing and they were surprised you can contact DR OKOLO via email drokolosolutioncenter@gmail.com via WhatsApp+23407031895935 he also cured diseases like HIV/AIDS HERPES CANCER DIABETES Alzheimer NPH STROKE ETC
Dr Dale Breneson has a book “Ending Alzeimer’s”. It discusses reversing it, and how a specific method of treatment is helping his patients. I hope this helps someone 🙏
I hate alzhiemers. my mom has early onset alzhiemers and I am 30 years old. I take care of her. it is so hard. miss my mom

I'm very sorry that this beautiful family has to loss their lovely mom. I'm fully taking care of My Alzheimer's Mom. It's really scared being realized that I have to be prepared to loss her soon..😢😢
That kid had such a genuine smile when he said “she’s still with us” ❤️ if my kids don’t end up this wonderful, I don’t want them!
Absolutely heartbreaking
My grandmother has dementia 1 time she thought I was my dad it was so sad and on her birthday she thought she was 39 she's 87
My Dad had it, my sister has it, I was volunteering for seniors with it, but it brings back alot of memories, so am doing other diseases now
Well I don't think I want to live for a long time with that disease not remembering my loved ones
Such a lovely family. Such sweet kids. This was a terrible break.
My grandma had this disease for 20 years and got progressively worse, when I was a teenager I often had to grandmasit because she could not be left alone, even to go to the bathroom. At the time I hoped doctors would find a cure for it, now 40 years later, there is still no cure for it or cancr or heart disease.
. In my opinion these diseases are cash cows for doctor and the medical industry, without dementia heart disease and cancer patients hospitals, research centers, hospices and doctors practices would quickly go belly up. But when a dementia patient is not cured, then researchers, doctors.psychologists, occupational therapists, ,the caregiver, the pharmaceutical industry would all be put of a job
Ew to both of you ^
The boy seems not really ok with it
777dotster : Of course not, his Mom is sick!!!!!🙏💕😙
Who would be ok with it?! It's sad for him to lose his mom.
The kid needs some therapy, he fuckin said “I just get over it, it’s fine”.
Its horrible disease
JaveyDones you totally took that out of context. He was being positive and saying when he gets upset, he gets past it because there’s always a new day tomorrow.
My heart breaks for you and I send you all my love and best wishes . I recently had my mother diagnosed with Alhzeimers although she is older then your dear mother I have a pain in my heart for my mum and I wish I could take away the Alhzeimers but realistically I know I cant and it hurts . It is scary for both my mom and our family as they say only time will tell just how much longer we have with her but we will make every minute count .

Prayers!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I just wish we knew why this is happening to people, now it's not just the elderly. My Grandma was diagnosed at 80 she has had it for 5yrs now, it's really terrible to watch this happen to any loved one without even knowing why it happened or get a cure. We have to do everything for her 24hrs a day. She used to be very independent it took everything.
Alzheimer's or Dementia is one of the worst fates someone could possibly be condemned to.
such mature children.
Sad to sew someone young and with children. All I can say is cherish your time with your mom. God bless you all🙏🙏
I'm worried about the son... he's gonna have some problems
MAEGAN Diagostino this would be terrible for anyone in this situation however he seemed very resilient.
I grew up watching my brother die by inches. He suffered a chemically induced brain injury at the age of 6 months and developed Progressive Encephalopathy (progressive brain death), extreme, uncontrollable epilepsy, low muscle tone, and more. When he was 4, we discovered he had also been born with Cystic Fibrosis (this is before all babies were tested for it). He died at the age of 10 when a 6+ hour long grand mal seizure caused cardiac and pulmonary arrest. He was DOA at the Children’s Hospital.
It was hell. I won’t lie and tell you any part of it was easy. He’s been gone for 18 years and I still miss him like it was yesterday. But I would never trade a single second of it for anything. He taught all of us so many things, including about who we are and who we want to be. I became disabled following a freak injury at the of 17 and in the 13 years since I became disabled, it’s been the things my brother taught me that keep me going. I credit him with the happy life I have today.
MAEGAN Diagostino he's going to be fine he's actually going to do the work to deal with his life like everybody should do not like most who don't accept their life or responsibility or the reasons why they feel a certain way
Cassie C get it Cassie sounds like you're awesome
He is just low key. This is not genetic. It is acquired. According to Dr. Bruce Lipton, we can control and change our DNA , so there is nothing we can blame our relatives for. All up to us to fix it or let it damage us. We need to learn how to use our brains and our minds which we seriously neglect.
Daughter looks like dad and son looks like mom.
I wish we could afford a caregiver

Early onset Alzheimer’s will take your life much faster than Alzheimer. Much faster😔
Very sad for the family to watch their mother's memories disappear.
Early onset is especially cruel.
It's so sad I've use to take care of younger women with alzheimers it breaks my heart because she has very young children.💜🙏🏽
Yes so heart breaking.🥰😳✝️
Alzheimer's that's not something you should joke about. I would prefer cancer if I had a choice.
Excellent family.
Beutiful kids and wonderful family
My great grandma died of this disease in 2005. #MissyouGrammy. Say hi to Grampy for me.
Actually, medical conditions can give symptoms of dementia or someone who is unfamiliar with anything else. For example, Kris Kristopherson (sp?) was being treated for early Alzheimer's and actually had been exposed to Lyme disease. Lack of vitamins, thyroid disease, are just a few examples. It's like a diabetic who gets pulled over for " drunk driving" and of course they can't drink because of sugar levels. They need a candy bar or insulin not detox
Little Bit - I recently met a woman who was diagnosed with MS in her late 50s, which is quite late to develop it, after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. She blew clean on a breathalyzer and tried to explain to the officer that she had an undiagnosed health problem that caused her balance problems, but they refused to believe her and arrested her and held her for several days to get court ordered blood testing and urinalysis. It all came back clean, obviously, and she was released with no charges being filed, but it was enough to get her doctors to realize she wasn’t exaggerating. Testing proved she had a fairly rapid moving form of MS.
However, in the case shown, the woman has Alzheimer’s, as sad as that is. She’s undergone rigorous testing to determine it.
The two D’s: depression OR dementia.
They are often misdiagnosed.
This seems to be another case of Creutzfeldt Jakob disease, passed as Alzheimer's, so as not to arouse panic among people.
Cases of Mad Cow Disease occur in the U.S. each year, yet regulators only test a tiny percentage of the 32 million cattle slaughtered annually. In Europe, all older cattle are tested for Mad Cow Disease, and in Japan every cow slaughtered for human consumption is tested. Similarly most deer, elk, and moose, are killed and consumed with no testing for CWD required.
These prion diseases in animals can cause this "Alzheimer" in people. If it were Alzheimer's, the life expectancy would be 8 to 20 years, but it is definitely a prion disease, which are fatal and kill the patient in less than 2 years.
Yeah it’s scary how there is no awareness. I just ate Venison and then found out about CWD. Yuck to red meat!
God bless this family and heal Amy!
My heart goes out to them and their family members. I watch people a whole lot. When I go out in publisI used to watch people and wonder how it feels to be normal. About 21 years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus. I was released to find out. What I have that's screwing up my life, has a name. I'm not crazy!!! Like so many doctors said I was. Now the depresson, but I snapped back into reality with the speed of lightning. I accredited it to the teaching shown to me by my spiritual auntie Ramona. my life is all roses and rainbows. what I go through on a daily basis, is tuff. But what they have to face and knowing your outcome is bleak. I believe God puts only what and how much he knows you can handle.
Marlette Childs, Lupus is an awful thing I agree with you. I know one lady with it, that I have followed for many years now, and she has what seems to be every drug issue and Lupus complication under the sun. I honestly have no idea how she copes with it all, but she does. I'm chronically ill too
and have several conditions that are genetic and 3 auto immune conditions. Even though I didn't realise it I was born with 3, but I have been seriously ill for about 3/4's of my life. I did used to work in physical disabilities, their lives were completely different to any child or adult just
because they required so much care. I'd often wish I could take them home with me, their lives were so restricted.When I first started to get ill and my life got smaller and smaller. I would think back to all of those people and realise how good I'd had it. I still think of them and realise I have
nothing to complain about. Alzheimer's took my father but he was in his 70's, this seems so much more unfair, to all involved. Those kids need their mother. She deserved to have more life. Her husband deserved more too. I don't know but I believe there are fewer and fewer healthy people in the
world I think it's because our world is becoming more sick too. We are all responsible to make it better for future generations.
I was really confused when I saw my local news lady on this, then I realized, it is local.
What a beautiful family!
Wow, well done to Amy Norton on sharing her story and well done to her amazing children in adapting to the change having a parent living with Young Onset Dementia.
Hope everything is well in the future.
May Your family stay safe and happy you are in my prayers xx
Stay strong for a cure 💜💜💜
Bless her and her family
I lost my step grandma 6 years ago to this disease and I wish I knew what was going on but I was real young
Fly hi sweet Amy 🙏🏽
Rapidly progressing dementia often results in early death.
what is the cause of death?
@@and2409 a conjunction of many factors: frailty, due to malnutrition can cause infections, heart problems, falls, etc. This happened to both of my parents. They died about 3 months after their dementia got pretty bad.
My late ex Mother In Law had Alzhiemers for approximately 15 years ,if not a little longer, before her passing. Now her Daughter, my ex, is in her 10 th year of dealing with Alzhiemers.
oh man that is just brutally unfair.☹🙏
Praying
I am astonished that 5 million Americans have this. That is a massive number when put into context with the population. That is nearly 1 in 60 people. Very sad indeed.
While reading these comments, I came across one that said that "God" won't give you more than you can handle.
I'm truly appalled at how many people think God makes people sick..
Jesus healed people when He was here on earth...NOT make people sick. He came to destroy the works of the devil.
I honestly cannot believe what God gets blamed for....by His people, nevertheless.
Jesus is still healing people today, by the way.
It's almost two years later now...
good luck to us
My lil mum died 2 years ago she had dementia she was 94 wen she died its devastating ilness
how susceptible are the children and the chances of them becoming the same years later what percentage the chance do the kids have for this disease
Understanding someones situation really!! Understanding it helps dont think nothing can happen to. You can wake tomorrow blind totally! Jist happened to my uncle for three months could see anything!! For 54 years he could see he just his eyes back and what thing to go threw he woke up one day to total blindness!!!!!
My Great Gran died of it on April 12, 2005...RIP Grammy.
My heart breaks for her children who have a 50% chance of carrying the gene that will cause them to have early-onset alzheimers as well😞
Alzheimer's disease is such a terrible disease I pray for a cure! There was on time a 31 year old that was pregnant had Alzheimer's disease and that is heartbreaking!
Seems like sometimes reporters try to cross over into a therapist role. I suppose their empathy is the driving force. But they need to remember that’s not the role they are placed in.
So sick of how they don’t test for Lyme
Great care givers make such a difference.
So fucking tragic.
My mother was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s at age 53 and died at age 62.
Helen Vermeulen I’m so sorry.
My sister was dx too at 54 and died at 62. I donated her brain to harvard medical school in hopes of finding a cure.
Sadly, she passed away.
May God have mercy on us
Sadly, she passed away in March
she died in March 2018
RIP AMY NORTON MARCH 20, 2018
I think the problem with this disease talking bout on a very microscopic level is to prevent how it gets in the brain that way to be detrimental to ones health.things you work around causes this.wear a respirator mask that filters out caustic metals of fine powders that would go in the blood to clog vital neuron pathways and the pathways vital for reasoning and comprehension etc.a clean pure air unpolluted work environment is so important to prevent future complications that are the causes of these problems clearly.
There are treatments but you have to search for them.
I understand the losing of the memory, but how does one actually die from Alzheimers??
Andy T Alzheimer’s is the literal death of brain cells. Memory is usually one of the first things that’s affected, but as more brain cells die, you die.
Eventually you are unable to eat because your body has forgotten how and the consistency of food causes choking. So without nutrition, you starve. It is a process and when it starts you are still eating, but as it goes on, you eat less and less.
Tragic!!!
MY STORY:
My mother has early onset Alzheimer's that turns out is genetic, last year at only 28 I found out, I have a 50% chance of getting it too 😕 it has been devastating but I'm doing my best to cope.
*Started a UA-cam channel about my journey to cope, and to connect with others who are going through hard times and to use the platform to potentially help or inspire others.
*Would love genuine support for my channel! Trying my best to build it up. Please subscribe, you don't have to have your notifications on if you don't want. 🙏
Would appreciate the help in these hard times. ❤️ Being able to eventually monetize my channel would help make life a little better as well.
sincerely my dad was diagnosed with ALS early this year march to be precisely, and was so confused because I love my dad and wouldn't want to lose him so soon so I decided to look possible solution to ride of this ALS despite knowing it has no cure advised by the medical doctor. Everyday my dad's health depreciate keep losing weight and strength a friend advised me to try DR OKOLO ALS herbal formula that she use to cure her dad's heart disease and I was reluctant about it until after a second thought I decided to give a try because no harm in trying immediately I contacted him he assure me my dad will be cured within few weeks of medication and he sent me the medicine and I applied it on my dad as advised by DR OKOLO within 6weeks of using the herbal formula my dad was cured and my dad is free from ALS I went to the hospital that said there is no cure to ALS and informed them about my dad's healing and they were surprised you can contact DR OKOLO via email drokolosolutioncenter@gmail.com via WhatsApp+23407031895935 he also cured diseases like HIV/AIDS HERPES CANCER DIABETES Alzheimer NPH STROKE ETC

What causes It?
Misleading thumbnail
That interviewer and whoever hired her should be fired. Wtf
Dr Dale Breneson has a book “Ending Alzeimer’s”. It discusses reversing it, and how a specific method of treatment is helping his patients. I hope this helps someone 🙏
what method
