    Lee Health is a nationally recognized, award-winning health system in Southwest Florida. We are caring people, inspiring health.
    The signs can be subtle and easily ignored. “Everyone is forgetful, but you have to watch for patterns-that’s the major thing,” said Dr. Simon Grinshteyn, a hospitalist with Lee Health.
    Consistent forgetfulness may be more than just old age. “When they start declining, it’s not old age it may be first signs of dementia,” said Dr. Grinshteyn.
    Dementia is a general term for cognitive decline. One of the first signs to notice--is if patients start forgetting the names of loved ones. “People that are staying up or they’re getting up and wandering around at night. That is a big first clue that something is wrong,” he said.
    Patients in the early stages of dementia will often experience insomnia. They will also be thrown off by a change in their routine. “Any change in a routine can throw a person with dementia into a tailspin where they deteriorate,” said Dr. Grinshteyn.
    Patients who smoke, have uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, and who have a limited education are at a higher risk for developing dementia. “We need to rule out other things first. Sometimes vitamin deficiency such as B12 can cause a dementia type patient, sometimes thyroid function when it’s off. So we do testing beforehand, before we come up with this diagnosis. We even do scans of the brain,” he said.
    If there’s a family history of dementia, it’s important to talk to your doctor about any concerns. An early diagnosis can help families understand and plan for the future.

      I don't think he has dementia. But I do feel his old age is the cause for most if his speech and hearing problems. I feel like there should be an maximum age set for president, a minimum already exists and it's to make sure candidates are mature enough, and had plenty of time to develop. It's clear with Biden that he is not fully fit to be president, especially for the US. Probably hardest, and most criticised job in the world. You can do everything from and still be hated. Most people don't realize that if things go wrong in 2021 it's often because of a mistake from 4-8 years ago.

      I have the cruel TBI my brain had stitches in it and my head when I was 17 try to get everyone that has been diagnosed with it to exercise and stimulate their senses ride in car and nature and music that head injury was in 1993 I have had more injuries to my head since then Im 44 or 45 i canat remember and IM not going t do the math,, I worked as long as I could I probably could still work at a nursing home as the nurses aid if I didnt have a bad back bone spurs digging into my spinal cord from my vertabras how ever you spill them I was born with the bone spurs but it took the wreck andthen more than 25 yrs for a doctor to tell me the truth that theres 3 in one spot and just 2 days or 2 weeks before my general doctor xrayed it right after I told him it feels like bone spur in my spinal cord pointed with my thumb he x rayed it looked at the paper then right dead in my eyes and he lied to me said nothing there. He also said I didnt have HIV so I better go to the health department or that clinic and pay 20 bucks or whatever so I can hear the truth. You know your body more than the doctors do... Sometimes you can push yourself to do more and sometimes you actually CAN DO MORE YOU CAN DO IT exercise saved me and reading read books helps learn about the body take a CNA class or something like that when you get bad news try to prove them wrong. Especially when you feel like they gave you a bad hand and it looks the worst DO IT JUST IN SPITE. I GOT HEP B AND C WHEN I WAS 24 MY LIVER WAS FAILING the doctors said call the family in she needs a new liver and shes not going to make it. I AM 44 OR 45 so its been 20 yrs and IM still going with some form of dementia oh and also IM standing ontop of my teadmill and I just found out I had been walking 35 minutes, Im glad cause my neck has sweat on it sometimes I forget to walk especially when the computer is on and Im typing ha ha Im serious but for reall its scary some times you gotta laugh and if you cant find someone that can

    My dad is 68 and im starting to wonder. At first i noticed he was a little forgetful would confuse thing . eg i was going to buy a fast food meal and i asked him what he wanted then when i returned he would say i didnt ask for that one.. And i would argue yes you did.. So like a year later. Ive noticed a big shift in his personality. Hes also a manic depressant so wild moods are quite the norm for us. Been on meds for decades. Hes got to the point where he wont leave the house. He watches tv all day and night. I came over for a visit and he barely spoke to me, and tv seemed more important. Now going by this video stopping routine can throw them off. Im wondering if it sounds like he may have it? His grandfather had dementia as well.

    in Canada, there are people as young as 5 that have dementia, so common that in is a normal illness. gets treated with anti-opiates and fasting. if it gets worse they are confirmed. go with no breakfast, lunch, or dinner for 27 days out of every month for 8 months... see they's got the dementia. got a degree in physiology, but got fired for shitty work at diagnosis of problems with previous patients, then come to Canada no one gives a shit and the government doesn't do back checks.
