 Hello to all,

It became obvious that my MIL was in the earlier stages of AD in 2000. 2 years
ago we could no longer take care of her in our home and she was placed in an

Hi, my Father has alzheimers as well as frontal and peripheral lobe damage
and while researching this and things to stop the blockage of the arteries
that have caused the lobe damage I came across a site that I hope someone

My Mom was recently diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's. She is in the
very initial stages, and most of the time you might forget that she has any
problems at all. However, everything that I have read indicates that this is

We are having problems getting my mother to bathe.  She is very obstinate,
stubborn and goes ballistic when we gently suggest getting a visiting nurse
for her once or twice a week to help with bathing.  I do her laundry
whenever I'm over there, and wherever I manage to find some ...
