I just found out on 14 of this from my ku clinic doctor. Just told me that I am in advance stage of dementia. It will be rough.

Till I get to the end stage. I now have social worker from ku clinic doctor.

Dskil - I looked up your profile and read the answers you wrote in reply to other posters. You sound very much in control of your faculty, nothing like someone who is in the advance stage of a mind losing disease.

My mom has Alzheimer's and at this stage, she has forgotten all her friends, lost most of her ADL skills, doesn't know names of anything, can't have a conversation, doesn't understand much of what others say, doesn't know what to do with a toothbrush, and is totally incontinent. Given all those and more deficits, her doctor says she's at the mid stage of Alzheimer's. He told me the late stage is when she becomes bedridden.

So, how can you sound so logical, sane, and in control of your mind and be diagnosed with advance stage dementia? That doesn't make sense.

I'm sorry you have had to get this diagnosis, I'm sure it was difficult to hear.
