[quote=Anonymous]Honestly years into this and doctors have not been helpful. I wasted time taking days off to take my mother to the supposed best specialists, getting MRI, PET scans, researching medications, etc. They don't end up really explaining what you are up against. What really helped was watching YouTube videos so you can see where you are headed. I found this person incredibly helpful. It is a woman who recorded her mother and her mother-in-law going through stages of dementia and discussed the different stages and how each person might cope differently but they share a level of impairment. https://www.youtube.com/@lifeunderdeborahspalm-thed8114 For example, this one is of not only what to expect but what to DO as a loved one in stages 1-3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHlsEoLz29k I learned so much more watching her videos than at any doctors visit even visits with a neurologist at a university hospital research institution.
