I’m sorry to hear about your mother, the same thing happened with my Grandad a couple of years ago.
I suggest that you talk to someone about this, a professional. I doubt you’ll get any helpful answers on here, just silly comments by children.
you can get much information in this website, If you will check anyone blue link in website.
Alzheimer’s is a hereditary illness however it can be combatted by constantly learning new things. Never stop learning, that is the key. There are a number of things you can do to ‘exercise your mind’, such as:
·Go to theatres and museums
·Plan day trips, as well as longer vacations, to interesting destinations.
·Plan, research, and execute a do-it-yourself home-improvement project that requires creative design work.
·Design and plant a new garden.
·At work, initiate or volunteer for a project that involves a skill that you don’t normally use.
·Delve into research on something that you’ve always been curious about.
·Explore the Internet. You can gain access to a wealth of information on any conceivable topic.
·Join a book group.
·Join a club to play chess, bridge, or poker.
·Take a course to learn a new skill that requires effort and practice, like playing a musical instrument, painting, or website design.
·Do puzzles and brainteasers. In a ddition to the crossword puzzle in the newspaper, consider using books, magazines, and the Internet to find math brainteasers and word problems. Jigsaw puzzles challenge the mind, too.

no, not yet exactly. They are not completely sure what causes it, how it’s related between familys, or how it works, but they can test for the mental degradation.
I’m sorry for your loss and I understand your fear- my grandmother suffered from it for several years before she died.
i am sorry to hear about your mother just because she suffered from Alzheimers it doesn’t mean you will, my husband is in the first stages of it,the best thing to do is go and see you GP they can send you for some tests,there are drugs they can prescibe to slow the disease down, and there is research going on so hopefully they will find what causes it or a cure for it.don,t sit and brood about it on your own go and talk to your Gp as soon as possible, you will feel a lot better you know what they say a trouble shared is a trouble halved, good luck.
