Today I will share the Symptoms of Vascular dementia as found on the
Internet at www.alz.org/dementia. But first, a little bit of “general”
information regarding the symptoms:
"Symptoms can vary widely, depending on the severity of the blood vessel damage and the part of the brain affected. Memory loss may or may not be a significant symptom depending on the specific brain areas where blood flow is reduced. Impaired judgment or ability to make decisions, plan or organize is more likely to be the initial symptom, as opposed to the memory loss often associated with the initial symptoms of Alzheimer's."
It is not unusual for one to have both Alzheimer's disease and Vascular dementia at the same time. When any two or more types of dementia are present at the same time, the individual is considered to have "mixed dementia."
“Vascular dementia
symptoms may be most obvious when they happen soon after a major stroke. Sudden
post-stroke changes in thinking and perception may include:
*Confusion
*Disorientation
*Trouble speaking or understanding speech
*Vision loss
*These changes may happen at the same time as more familiar physical stroke symptoms, such as a sudden headache, difficulty walking, or numbness or paralysis on one side of the face or the body.
*Multiple small strokes or other conditions that affect blood vessels and nerve fibers deep inside the brain may cause more gradual thinking changes as damage accumulates. Common early signs of widespread small vessel disease include impaired planning and judgment; uncontrolled laughing and crying; declining ability to pay attention; impaired function in social situations; and difficulty finding the right words."
Once we had the diagnosis of Vascular dementia, and I began researching the disease and its symptoms, I was able to look back and see how my husband's characteristics and behavior were "spot on" with some of these symptoms.
Please join me tomorrow when I will share specific characteristics and behaviors that my husband exhibited, in my post titled "Remembering When..."
OMG thought I lost you, changed name of the Blog. LOL**
ReplyDeletelooking forward to reading more - I am afraid I'm seeing same with my husband....
I am still here; just wasn't really "feeling" the name I had first used for my blog (I am new at this and was really just playing around when I originally set it up). Sorry to hear that you feel your husband is on this same "journey". Hope that what I am sharing is helpful...I would definitely recommend you buy the book, the 36-Hour Day - it has been such a big help to me! I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. Thank you for joining us on this journey...
DeleteMy dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's diseases this neuron disease started 25 years before being revealed it was trigged the moment we started eating sugars including any and almost all carbs that break down to glycerol,and he was placed on the best medical treatment approved by united states,(FDA) he has been taking Cholinesterase,Memantine to treat his memory lose,confusion and the problems with his thinking and reasoning.just to help slow the progression and manage the symptoms,as no cure exists I read through with interest. I once believed Alzheimer disease has no cure. Well it is true with English medicine, but not with herbal medicine. My Dad experience opened my eyes to the reality of a cure through herbs. My Father was a vibrant man before his encounter with Alzheimer. He was a scientist, hence his mental capability was never in doubt. In 2013, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer. The symptoms manifested through repeating conversation and gradually forgetting things. It became progressive from finding the right words during conversation, to significant confusion and forgetting details about himself. It was not a good experience, seeing your father whose brilliance had no match, totally became a shadow of himself. His doctors said the disease has no cure, just medications for treatment which had a lot of side effects were administered to him. Early 2016, while on the internet, I bumped into a story of Alzheimer, and I read about a cure through herbs with interest. I researched more to be sure it was not a hoax. In my quest, Doctor James herbal mix medicine was mentioned in the testimony. I contacted him on his email that was provided (drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com) and I got his herbal mix medicine for my father.He told me that his herbal mix medicine will help my Dad to reduce the abnormal protein fold inside his neurons,and regulate the nutrients and molecules in his body system,and as well stop the progressive disorder that build up in damaging his brain cells,and help his weak cells that causes brain shrinking to function well,its a good herbal drinks for cell reparing.This doctor James is super great man and his herbal mix medicine is wonderful and works effectively as he said,with no side effects. It's been 4 years and my Dad is perfectly okay and back to his laboratory work even at old age. For your loved ones with Alzheimer or Dementia, take them off English medicine and use Dr. James herbal mix medicine for treatment. if you have any kinds of health challenges or diseases such as..Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
