What are early signs of Alzheimer's disease?

  1. Some signs of Alzheimer's disease are easier to identify than others. Here are some common early signs to pay attention to: confusion, difficulty with tasks, memory loss, misplacing items, mood changes, planning and problem solving issues, poor decision making, social withdrawal, vision & spatial problems

    1. My husband is experiencing several of these.

      1. Yes. He is seeing a neurologist and is on medication. He has difficulty with simple tasks and his short term memory is not good at all. I am having to be responsible for just about everything now. There are so many things...the bills, driving, shopping. I have tried to get him engaged in some simple projects. He used to make the most wonderful bird houses and now struggled to complete a simple box one. Frustration was the biggest thing. Problem solving is so difficult! Breaking my heart!

      2. , It's been a while! I wanted to check in and see how you were. Did you get any help with some of the tasks you were handling? It is a lot. Sending (((hugs))) love and light, and looking forward to hearing how you're doing. - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
