Good Evening, I thought I would go over the General Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease:
Stage 1:
gradual short-term memory loss
losing and hiding things
wandering
experiences emotional changes
displays odd and inappropriate behavior
tends to be suspicious and /or accusing
Stage 2:
severe memory loss
difficulty speaking
difficulty communicating
restlessness
easily agitated
bad hygiene practices
tendency to wander and/or get lost
"sun-downing"
sleep disturbances
behaving childishly
hallucinating
resents caregivers
displays anger
clinging behavior
Stage 3:
severe speech impairment
displays very little awareness of surroundings
extreme loss of mental functions
refuses to eat
displays complete dependency
incontinence
inability to preform most activities
If your loved one is showing these signs, please get them tested and put on the right medicine to try and slow this disease before it takes their mind completely away. But remember that Alzheimer's unfortunately will take their mind away. So just show them that you love them.

Sincerely,
Marie Fostino
