Forums _ Health _ Light Stroke Or Alzheimers?

Posted by: ilikeyerrpants Jan 6 2010, 12:43 AM

My Grandmother Was Diagnosed With Slight Alzheimer's A Couple Of Months Ago, But Since Sunday, She Won't Eat, She'll Only Drink A Few Sips & She's Sits Her Cup Back Down. At Some Points, Her Speech Is Slurred, And She Mixes Everything Up.(Examples: Trying To Put Her Tissue On Her Foot Like A Sock, Her Blanket Like A Pair Of Pants, And Trying To Pour Water Down A Heater.) I'm Not Sure If This Is Common In Alzheimers Or If She's Had A Light Stroke, Any Advice?

Sounds like a stroke.

Posted by: karmakiller Jan 6 2010, 01:00 AM

um, take her to the doctors?

Posted by: ilikeyerrpants Jan 6 2010, 01:02 AM

That's What I Said, But They Ran Tests On Her, And Everything Came Back Good. I Don't Understand.

We Did, Nothing Came Back Except For The Alzheimers.

Yes, It Was, But It's Okay. I Didn't Take It To Heart. I Am Much Bigger Of A Person That That.

It Just Shows CB What Kind Of Person She Really Is, And What Kind Of "Staff" They Really Have & Voted For. I Guess We All See Why She Ended Up As A Staff Alumni.

I Apologize If My Reply Was Offensive To Any Other Staff Member. Please Don't Take It That Way.

It's Really Hard To Read What You Have To Say When You Type Like This, Doesn't It Get Annoying?


Seriously, if you thought she had a stroke she should have been taken to the ER right away. Since you're saying you did that and they ran tests, what kinds of tests were they? Check http://stroke.emedtv.com/stroke/diagnosing-stroke.html out. Sounds a lot more like Stage 6 Alzheimer's (http://www.alz.org/alzheimers_disease_stages_of_alzheimers.asp#stage6). I surely hope that you have medical professionals helping you and whomever else care for her.

Nah, It Doesn't Get Annoying To Me. I Actually Prefer It To Regular Typing. A Few People Have Told Me That It's Annoying To Them, But That's Their Opinion.

They Ran A Cat Scan & Some Type Of Test For Strokes, & Everything Came Up Good, Other Than Her Light Case Of Alzheimers. & Her Medical Nurse Comes In Every Friday Now & Helps Out.

I Appreciate Your Research, Thanks A Lot, & Your Right, It Does Sound More Like Stage 6 Of Alzheimers.

I'm Glad She Was A Favorite. I Just Think That If She Was A Staff Member On Here, She Shouldn't Be So Insensitive To People's Post. Especially At A Time Like This, But That's Just My Opinion.

Abbey that's really out of line.
When we found out that my grandma was diagnosed with slight Alzheimers i was pretty upset about it. More than i thought it would be.

But anyways to the question, it could be a stroke, but it could also be dementia. A lot of elders get it. My grandpa began to. He could speak perfect english beforehand and then when me showed signs of dementia he began to lose his english and went back to ukranian.

Yes big angry text is angry, because I like to be able to read. And I can't read what OP is saying.

IF ITS SO HARD TO READ THEN EITHER YOU NEED BETTER VISION, OR YOU SHOULDN'T POST HERE.

I DON'T GIVE A DARN IF YOU CAN'T READ IT OR NOT, I CAN AND WILL TYPE LIKE THAT. NOTHING OR DO OR SAY WILL STOP THAT. OK?

Honestly, that's probably part of the reason why this forum sees less and less activity as time passes.

Regarding Alzheimer's - depending on the stage of the disease, Alzheimer's absolutely has physical manifestations/symptoms - including the inability to control motor functions.

http://www.ahaf.org/alzheimers/about/symptomsandstages.html

It is a very sad, very degenerative disease.

Some people would know. Like i've given out some hints that could help her. I told her it could be dementia. A lot of us still have grandparents who could have the same symptoms to what her grandmother is having.

true but nothing will be solved if this problem isn't talked out to a real medical expert.

Well she said that they went to the doctor told them that she had no signs of a stroke but she is acting as if she had one.

Posted by: ilikeyerrpants Jan 12 2010, 01:31 PM

It's Been Days & Still, No One Knows What Happened To Her, But Whatever Happened To Her Is Over Hopefully. She Back To Her Old Original Self.
