When she told her mom with Alzheimer’s she’d been married for 40 years, her reaction said everything

For the past year, once or twice a week, my mom tells me how she didn't sleep the night before. When I suggest she speaks to her doctor she gets furious and tells me this rarely happens and tries to tell me it happens only about once or twice a year.

She lives alone still (her doctor says this is fine) but I'm thinking maybe it will be important to track her health? Anyone have experience with #Alzheimers #Dementia and how do you track this?

Also, if anyone knows of any good free apps that they have already tested feel free to let me know! I can look up apps but if you have already tested this, I that would save me time and energy.

Thank you so much in advance. I'm overwhelmed and alone.

A retrospective study of 919 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), or both examined psychiatric symptoms associated with the different groups. FTLD is difficult to diagnose when co-occurring with AD; diagnoses were made by autopsy. Patients with FTLD showed more personality changes and disinhibition.

My Mother’s Memory

My mother is 103 years old. To live for over a century is a miracle, but it comes with a heavy tax. Her progressive dementia has reached a stage where language is slipping away. Her speech has become “gibberish” we can’t quite decode, and her once-prolific writing has slowed to a trickle of fragmented lines.
