My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's today. What is the time frame of the progression of the disease? |
My dad is in the early stages of the disease according to his doctor. He forgets things, mostly, but sometimes he says things out of place. For me to cope, I need information on what to expect from people who have been through this. Thanks. I am so sorry to hear that. My Grandmother had it for at least 10 years before she died. First couple years, just forgetting things around the house....then where she parked at the store....then how to get home. Next couple years she seemed to forget all of her past accept for about 5 or 6 stories, and would tell them several times in a row. Then she started not knowing who different people were. The last 2 years or so, she couldnt recognize her kids, grandkids, husband or best friend. Good luck. It will be hard on you and your family, I wont lie to you. Stay strong and patient. Please consider a nursing home when you feel like things are too hard to handle. Ten years. Ten years from now, he will remember absolutely nothing whatsoever, and he will die of pneumonia.
