[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 186722, member: 1991"] Sometimes we worry about Alzheimer's when it's nothing quite so bad. Alzheimer's isn't forgetting where the keys are. It's forgetting what keys are for. Mind you, there can a lot of reasons for old people to seem to be 'losing it'. Sometimes it's stress, tiredness, medication issues (dosages often need to be adjusted because as we get older, medications affect us differently). And sometimes it's other problems such as TIAs (transient ischaemic attacks) or metabolic imbalances. A lot of these problems are manageable and/or treatable. And sometimes - it's just who they are these days. Sorry to hear she's been getting hassled by sister in law etc. Not good. It wouldn't be helping her stress levels one bit. Marg [/QUOTE]
