An Idaho woman experiencing severe mood swings thought she had a brain tumor — it turns out she has early-onset dementia.
“I had so much trouble regulating my emotions. I’d become so furious over things I usually wouldn’t be angry about, like people correcting me if I said something wrong,” explained Jana Nelson, 53, to SWNS.
“My doctor doesn’t see me living into my 60s and eventually I’m going to need round-the-clock care at home,” she added. Nelson noticed symptoms in 2017 after friends and family pointed out her personality had changed. She was repeating the same questions and sentences — she thought she had just become forgetful.

I LOL’ed.
you can ALWAYS tell who the really crazy people are when the police show up. people who act crazy always moderate when the law is present. the truly crazy people can’t understand the dangerous ground they’re walking on. remember friends...crazy people don’t know they are.
I am dealing with a parent that has far more senile agitation than I realized.
What seem to be the symptoms, are there. I just notice that my parent can see none of it.
I don’t think everyone has this.
Far left Hillary Clintoon supporters have all those same symptoms.
Also-
She was diagnosed with a major neurocognitive disorder due to fetal alcohol syndrome — her brain had been deprived of oxygen during her traumatic birth — hydrocephalus (a buildup of fluid within the brain), and repeated concussions.
Poorly written. Some points being injected without background, or explanation & out of timeline sequence.
For example, it mentions repeated concussions with no explanation. Brain surgery? Nothing is properly tied together.
Where do these dolts learn to write?
Noticeable symptoms at 46? I would have assumed hormonal changes at that age.
My experience has been that people who live alone seem to have more problems. There are new drugs but if you live alone, you may not know to get them.
When did she have the COVID jab, and how many boosters? Within 10 days after her third jab, my wife begin showing Parkinson’s type symptoms, dementia, loss of balance and memory loss. Our lives are now as much burden as blessing.
I was my mom’s caregiver until she passed away at the age of 101 last August. She had vascular dementia, and though she retained most of her (borderline) personality, the last few years were pretty traumatic for both of us. Dementia is a dreadful thing.
My father lived to be 94. He was 93 and some odd months when my mother died. Up until my mother died he was sharp as a tack. He participated in complex discussions just like he always did. Then Mom died it was like a switch got flipped. In 8 months or so he went from sharp to a demented state then he died. It was an unbelievable transition.
Understand. As a friend said ‘life’s a bitch then you die’
Side effect of Lipitor is dementia
The only good thing about dementia is the character shown by those who deal with it.
Loss of a life partner is a true bitch. I’m there.
I’m sorry for your loss (and others on this thread). My FIL with dementia passed away November, 2022.
We cared for him nearly 5 years after my MIL passed. He did spend a short time in memory care when his care became overwhelming, but the final year he was here with us, and on hospice.
Yes, it is the most dreadful disease 😞
