Has your life been touched by Alzheimer's in any way?The last post in this thread was made last year but I thought I'd comment anyway. My husband started with symptoms when he was just 50. He had to give up work and I gave up too to look after him. He cried a lot because he couldn't remember things and he knew something was wrong but not what. He stayed at home for 6 years which was very hard, he was a real 'handful' and wanted to 'go home' or 'go to work' and it's very hard to explain to someone at that stage of the disease why they can't do these things. He couldn't dress himself or shower or do anything for himself. He was very agitated in the evenings which they call sun-downing and it was so tiring, he would pace about the house for hours and then get up again soon after I'd got him to bed. He went into a home eventually and cried for weeks. The home would call me and ask me to see if I could calm him down. He died last year aged 66 from a bowel infarction. It's an horrific disease, as they all are. As you said Ansula, guilt is always there and heartache too.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, I've just joined, a good friend told me about Silversurfers. I'm 65 (on Saturday) and have two sons who haven't lived at home for many years, they are 41 and 45. I'm a widow, my husband died last year from an Alzheimer's related illness. He'd been in a nursing home for 10 years but had the disease for 16 years. I'm from Yorkshire (Dad was a Lancastrian, Mum a Yorkshire lass) and have lived in Hertfordshire and am now in Cambridgeshire. I like reading, family research and I (try to) go to the gym three times a week. I've been retired for three years and love it..... -
