This morning, I became extremely disoriented. I got up as usual, made and drank my coffee w/biscotti as usual. When I went to the bathroom, I suddenly found myself almost at the point of complete unknowing. I finished my preparation and intended to go shopping. I didn't think it was wise to do so, so instead I rested in an easy chair for the remainder of the morning I then went to the store and purchased some BBQ ribs. Came home, ate some and then decided to not to try to do anything else. I decided to go to the computer and try to make sense out of this. I recently had a treadmill at my doctors office and I am scheduled for a thallium tread mill on the 9th of July. I think I may be developing something. I am 72 (born 1936) and have a history of some cardio related symptoms (pvcs). What is going on? I need some assistance with information I live alone. Am I getting Alzheimer's?

My mom is 88 years old she will be 89 the 13 of August. It is a blessing to have her with us. She is diagnosed with dementia. Her memory is still good but she keeps asking the same things over and over. Her mobility is limited. She is getting more feeble in the last 6 months. She doesn't know if it's night or day and if she is watching TV she thinks that is real and happening in real life and also she is afraid of a lot of things I hope this is helpful to others.

My mother who is 87 and has dementia is a very difficult case. She refuses any doctor visit and gets extremely agitated when she is asked to do so. She thinks all we (children) want to do is have her committed or put in a home. We want to get her some professional help but just refuses. She cries a lot and frequently asks us to take her home to be with her parents and siblings which are all deceased for many years.
