Can someone give me suggestions about how to make my mother understand alzheimers?
she is 76 years old recently diagnosed with alzheimers 3 months ago and she worked out fo the house until this point and my step father who is 94 and pretty healthy except doe a blood pressure pill daily... the issue I am having is her whole married life she expected and realized she was younger and would be responsible for caring for my step father when he was old.. now the tables are turned in 3 months since diagnosis she does not know date day or year, she counts money wrong for example the other day she went to pay a bill and she actually took one 20 out of her purse and like 4 ones and counted every bill as a $20 so was convinced she had $100 in her hand when in fact she had $24 ...it is only a matter of time before she no longer recognizes my face or her own and needs full time care but she is convinced it will take 10 years to get to that point when in reality it could be 6 months from now as she has lostso many basica skills already in the last 3 months. Need advice for making her understand time is of the utmost important when it comes to making decsions about what kind of care she wants and where if she does not want to live with me in my home.. which is what I want but she feels it iwll be too big a burden. How financially this will be handled and gaurdianship or power of attorney paper work or when she can not make decisions on her own anymore. CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO GET HER TO NICELY FACE REALITY AND THE BIG PICTURE??

I think my mother may be progressing into alzheimers; HELP?
I am 18 years old, and my mother is 60, my father 62. my father has a somewhat sharp memory for his age. he always has, along with his sharp tongue. however, my mother has been losing her short term memory for years now. she is a chain smoker, has been all her life... she has chronic lung and chest problems, and now the concern of alzheimers has been brought to my attention. she forgets everything. I can tell her, and clarify, something ten times and she still won't remember it within the day or sometimes week. she forgets names, and she repeats herself. she calls me sometimes and asks about information I have already given her. along with that she shows sign of pathological lying. my mother and I have our differences, but I am so scared. I am not ready to lose my mother to any disease. please help, tell me what symptoms are of this illness, and if it sounds like it could be anything else? thank you.

Is alzheimers genetic?
My granny, who is now 90, has been battling this for over 10 years, and she is now on her death bed. She had a stroke last night, and now she can't eat or drink, so now we are just waiting. We just lost her brother about 3 days ago, and he also sufferd from the same thing. The family was getting ready for his funeral this morning when my sister went to check onthe Granny, and found her with one side limp. All this with Granny and my great uncle has me worried about my daddy. He is 69, and I was wondering what are the chances of him having the same problem?

Alzheimers or something else so scared?
27 and life has been hell the last few months. I have convinced myself I have had so many illnesses that feel so real. Now I am sure I have alzheimers. I occasionally forget words like yesterday I forgot the word overdraft when talking. It took me a few seconds just to remember. I am assesing every thing I do and look on internet symptoms all of the time. I always remember thinking something then wonder if I said it out loud. Please help. I also think something and then a minute or so later wonder if I said it or just thought it. It is ruining my relationship etc cause I always ask if I just said something or not. seen 2 doctors who didn't even look into it and on citilopram for years. I also get frustrated at work when figures confuse me. Today I put in a password we have used at work for months and I entered twice as we do to close database and when I went to go back in I could not. So must have put wrong one in TWICE. I called helpline up and they made me feel worse saying there is a possibility. Please help
