[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if you had interpreted the signs correctly, it wouldn’t have changed much. I saw the signs very early on, no one else noticed. My mom refused to get tested for almost 2 years. Then she was tested, they saw some decline but only after an MRI and a stroke were they able to see the extent of the damage. Anyway, she is taking her meds now, but once the decline has started, like in all the examples above, you can’t stop it. The medicines barely help. [/quote] I certainly think the meds were useless. What a diagnosis does do is help people prepare and understand what is ahead. I recall trying to get my mother to make her own medical appointments. It was so pointless in retrospect. You can also try to move them into a facility that offers memory care for when they need it or at least start thinking about. It is hard to plan ahead for every contingency, though. [/quote]
