Am I losing it too?
Two weeks ago, I had my annual wellness visit and I scored 100% on the memory test, including counting back by 7's. Last week, my husband's brain PET Scan results came into MyChart. He has Alzheimer's. Since then, we have looked at senior living communities in person and rented an apartment near our children. I feel as if I can't remember anything and I think I misplaced my son's house key. I don't want to think I am losing it, yet that's how it feels. Very worried. Has anyone experienced this and did it resolve for you? Thank you!

1 ReactionMy husband was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 2018, but it is progressing relatively slowly. He's at home and with a little coaching can perform his ADLs. But I've noticed that I've started sundowning!
I can handle his repeated questions, etc., with equanimity during the day but after he gets up from his nap, around 5 pm, my temper is very short and the repetitions drive me crazy. He probably asks more questions then, too, and is more anxious (his own sundowning) but it was a real AHA moment to realize that I need to manage myself better in the evenings, and not be annoyed with him.
