Jean Senkow is my (now deceased) Mom who became symptomatic before she was officially diagnosed with dementia. Classic signs were visible but inconsistently so. Early on there were just odd events and peculiar reactions and increasingly unexpected and reactive mood swings. But those were overlapping with the grieving of the death of her husband and were not really seen by her family or friends. As the disease progressed Mom experienced visual and auditory hallucinations and increased paranoia, mood swings. A once avid reader, as the disease progressed she stopped reading, would hold a paper up as if she were reading and then it became apparent she wasn't. She stopped following Washington politics even though she had always kept up with that. She was unable to use the TV remote, the microwave or the mobile phone . She yearned for a cell phone and was also unable to operate that even to make a phone call. She was easily frustrated by people who called to solicit. Had difficulty navigating relationships. Did not want to venture out of the house or move through daily routines. She got lost when she was driving even a few blocks. She was concerned she was being taken advantage of. She suffered from auditory hallucinations - neighbors having late night parties or people coming to use her outside water every night - she heard this even though it wasn't happening. And she suffered from visual hallucinations - that man over there and then he would disappear through the wall. Red paint all over her house on the walls and clothing torn and cut to shreds - not real. Now I see that it was her brain taking in stimulus but not processing it clearly, And her emotions were not her friend and were not controllable. There was sadness, anger, frustration. In the early stages there was much confusion by family members who could not see the disease and were hurt by the person, and there was much despair by all. Dementia can and should be cured. It isn't a natural part of aging. It is a disease. And it is a robber of the twilight years, of the relationships, of the memories. Mom died of dementia on November 10, 2020. She was robbed of her memories and her ability to care for herself. Please donate. Together we can make a difference.
