My wife is only 59 and can barely walk and is now gagging at solid food. It's been the toughest thing to ever deal with. Our battle with Alzheimer’s started in August 2015. The diagnosis didn't happen until February 2021. By 2016 she couldn't drive and she lost her job in August 2015 because she suddenly forgot how to do math, and a marh teacher that was a no go. I don't know how much more time we have. I miss her.
In August 2015 she had what we think was a stroke and went to moderate dementia immediately, but she really hid it from me, not that I did a memory test as her primary symptoms were catastrophic anxiety, and in light of her age we just thiugh this was anxiety. Stage three was awful, worse year of my life, no meds or diagnosis, and it lasted like 6 months of hell, pure hell. By November 2021 she was incontinent and was in memory care, but I brought her home. She barely has words and she gags on food.

My husband first experienced confusion and loss of memory in May of 2012 while undergoing rehab for alcoholism. Being home seemed to help him until 2017 when he gradually began experiencing Alzheimer’s symptoms. He had four to five hours a day where he wanted to get a "greyhound" to "go home." Also, he thinks I am his sister and believes he has rented a car (he hasn't driven in 5 years). His personal hygiene was in the tank, it was necessary for him to change two to three times a day. Without long-term insurance for his care, it was becoming stressful to care for him. This year our family friend "Ken" introduced and started him on BRONGEE HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS for Alzheimers and Dementia, 2 months into treatment he improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally gone. No case of Alzheimer’s, hallucination, forgetfulness, and others, he’s strong again and able to go about daily activities.

My husband, 68, has dementia, in I think stage 4, with some 5. He has a history of heart attack, a triple bypass surgery, type 1 diabetes, and diabetic autonomic neuropathy. Could these diseases cause vascular dementia? I am trying to figure out what kind he has, or if it even matters. He saw a neurologist in Houston 1 1/2 years ago, and was diagnosed at that time with MCI, but has declined significantly since then. We moved a little over a year ago, and his appointment for a neurologist is pending, coming up soon. If he has vascular dementia, are the stages the same?
The stages are pretty much the same. He may just have more sudden changes if it vascular and he has another event. Glad he’s going to see a neurologist soon and hope you get some answers. 🙏🏻 thank you for tuning in and for your question!
