Alzheimer disease is a brain disorder that causes memory loss, confusion, and changes in personality, and gradual loss of independence. It is a type the most common type of dementia. At first, people with this disease have only a small amount of memory loss and confusion. This is called cognitive decline. But over time, these symptoms get more severe.

The disease progresses through 3 main stages of symptoms. In the final stage, people with Alzheimer disease may be unable to talk with family members or know what is going on around them.

This disease can’t be cured. Healthcare providers and caregivers often focus treatment on slowing the process and ensuring a good quality of life for everyone involved.

Here is how AI summarized: Progressive symptoms of Alzheimer Disease Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive condition, which means the symptoms develop gradually over many years and eventually become more severe. The symptoms can vary from person to person, but they typically follow a specific pattern. Here are the progressive symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease:

Mild, Early Stage:

Mild forgetfulness, such as difficulty remembering recent events or learning new information Trouble with word-finding and language Mild confusion or disorientation Difficulty with planning and problem-solving Mood changes, such as depression, anxiety, or irritability Moderate Stage:

Increased memory loss, including difficulty remembering recent events, people, and places Difficulty with communication, including trouble finding the right words or understanding spoken language Difficulty with problem-solving and decision-making Increased confusion and disorientation Personality changes, such as becoming more passive or withdrawn Mood changes, such as depression, anxiety, or agitation Severe Stage:

Significant memory loss, including difficulty recognizing family members or familiar places Difficulty with communication, including trouble understanding spoken language or expressing oneself Difficulty with daily activities, such as dressing, grooming, or using the bathroom Increased confusion and disorientation Personality changes, such as becoming more aggressive or paranoid Mood changes, such as depression, anxiety, or agitation Loss of ability to respond to the environment End-Stage:

Severe memory loss, including difficulty recognizing oneself or others Complete loss of language and communication skills Complete dependence on caregivers for daily activities Loss of ability to respond to the environment Near-total loss of physical function and mobility It’s essential to note that these symptoms can vary in severity and progression from person to person, and not everyone will experience all of these symptoms. If you or a loved one is experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Thanks for posting. Horrible disease. I’ve witnessed it in family and dear friends. Condolences to all who have cared for and seen loved ones pass on via Alzheimer disease.

My mother suffered from Alzheimer’s. It started innocently enough. I’d get two Christmas cards from her. Buying me clothes that were the wrong size. Forgetting to clean the dryer lint trap.

Eventually dementia kills. The patient loses the ability to swallow.

“Stages of Alzheimer’s Disease”

Haven’t read the article, but does it include “Starting a ground war against Russia, in Russia’s backyard?”

Wow, that is a great side-by-side comparison. Biden has agenda 100 years in the past 12 years.

Annie, there is more than one form of dementia.

Alzheimer’s is just one.

Vascular dementia kills you— sooner. See first indicator Transient Ischemic Attacks— mini-strokes, thrombolic clots in the brain. Small segments of oxygen starved brain.

Pretty sure Xiden has THIS. Having had 2 prior aneurysms and hemorrhagic strokes associated with them. Dead brain and scar tissue removed from his brain. 1988.

Posted on FR, couple days ago- his medical report from 2019 (delayed published during Trumps coming last year before the STEAL. Trying to show how healthy joey bags was in prep for his 3rd obama term sponsored presentdentcy. Obamunists are running their show- and it is running out. He is not healthy he has all the markings and labs for hyperlipidemia and vascular dementia that follows— notable is his peripheral vascular issues— why he shuffles and has to wear special shoes- he can’t feel his feet, and probably neuropathy in his feet resulting from the vascular problems in his legs.

There ya go— what the dems have poorly hidden, certainly from medical professionals— who all know, and... KNEW!

We have dear neighbors across the street. We moved in at the same time in 1983. The husband got Alzheimers and it was awful to watch. He died a year ago at age 92. He used to be strong and healthy, doing all the yard work every week without fail. Then his strength waned and he began using a walker on their daily walks. Then the walks got shorter and shorter, eventually ending. His memory loss was gradual. He would ask the same question several times in a few minutes. At the end, he didn’t even know his own wife.

We’ve been told dementia doesn’t kill you, but Alzheimer’s does. Guess we were told wrong.

Saw this in my own family - and it is horrible. Telling the same stories repeatedly within seconds, the mood swings, the loss of language, the combativeness, with my dad, hallucinations.

Had a friend diagnosed via a brain scan - she was completely coherent when telling me this, I was shocked as I’d seen no signs. Within three months, she didn’t know me. Thankfully, for her family, she suffered a stroke about a year after the diagnosis and passed away. She also had become physically violent toward her own family near the end.

The disease progresses through 3 main stages of symptoms.

While that's the 3 main symptom stages, the pre-stage for Alzheimer's is exposure and intake of Aluminum. From chemtrails, to anti-perspirants, to cookware.

It does. It just takes longer, so something else will get you first.
