[quote=Anonymous]My loved one also started to lose interest in food in the late stages. This was followed by gradually losing the ability to chew and eventually swallow. Unfortunately, the end stages are very psychologically hard. It's not her or you, it's the disease. Even if she was eating everything you put in front of her, it would not stop the disease progression. I would double check she doesn't have a UTI or something medically wrong with her, just to be sure. She might be in pain, and that can reduce appetite. Hospice told me often Alzheimer's patients are in pain, they just can't express it.[/quote]
