My mother has got dementia which I guess is close. She is at the starvation phase. Her body rejects food. She has a gag reflex every time she tries to eat. It's awful to have to see and accept that is how such a strong woman is going out like. Horrible situation!
I feel for ya. Yes, he got to where he couldn't use utensils. He was constantly falling. You couldn't reason with him that he shouldn't be doing certain things. He was married for 63yrs, he couldn't remember that he was married. And it deeply upset him. Before this, he was a terrific human being. He was highly educated and very intelligent. There were good days and bad days, sometimes you almost couldn't tell he had a problem. Other days were very difficult. They'll also develop a strong temper. He was a very easy going person before that. My prayers are with you
My Father in Law lived with it for a long time. I thought he was diagnosed with the "gene" if you will @ late fifties. Sometime after that he started a drug to slow the effects. He didn't really start having noticeable problems till @ 75 I want to say. The women noticed things long before I admitted noticing much. He lived to 86
