What were the first dementia signs you noticed?
Caregivers: Dementia | Last Active: 5 hours ago | Replies (123)Comment receiving replies
The first thing that I noticed a couple years prior to DW's diagnosis, was her concept of time. When she would recall something, say a visit or experience or some kind, she didn't know if it happened yesterday, or a month ago. Then as time went on, her short term memory kept deteriorating, and the endless repetition began. She is now in stage 6.

Chris20, I am curious how you determined your partner is in Stage 6. Did a neurologist say that, or were you able to determine that yourself from other sources? My husband was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's about 2 years ago, but the signs were there several years before that. Forgetting names of people, not being able to retrieve the right word, unable to learn how to operate the remote control, DVR, induction stove, etc. The latest is that he seems directionally challenged, i.e., will go left when he should go right.
