My wife was diagnosed about 12 months ago and has been steadily getting worse. She forgets things I told her a few minutes before hand. She also asks me the same question several times and forgets which month or day it is. She also puts things away where they should not be. She consistently refuses to accept that there anything wrong with her and so,I cannot obtain any assistance from local groups until she does.

I can relate, my wife is going through the same things. Been about 10 months.
Tough on everyone
I guess I am lucky because my husband listened to my concerns and willingly participates in getting help. He expressed concerns about driving so that wasn't a battle either. Two of his family members had dementia so I think he is frightened of going down that road alone.
@sivad my sig other is at that stage now. Short term memory and time are her biggest issues now. She has been taking memantine and donepezil for about a year. Recently she had an amyloid petscan to see if she's eligible for Leqemba injections. Not sure if she will go that route because of potential side effects. It's not a cure. Supposedly slows it down. I am going to order the book mentioned in this string.
