[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 124593, member: 1514"] Actually lots of these symptoms sound so familiar to me. My mom did "sundown" quite a bit. She also would seem to know things at different times and then forget them...she would get confused and talk about people as if one person was another one. She completely forgot who I was but knew Tony and the boys for a bit longer. She remembered Ronald Reagan...lol. When 9/11 happened she thought it was the start of WWII again. She was always telling us to take her back home to Boston but she hadnt lived there in 50 years. We moved her in with us from Myrtle Beach. She had been there for almost 17 years. We had to take her car away from her before we moved her because it simply wasnt safe...and to do that I simply took the car keys but it made her so mad...but we told her that the state came down and put a control lock on the car. She believed us! I simply got this little magnetic key box and stuck it on the car. She ranted and raved about how unfair the state was...lol. We had her tested with a neuro and a regular doctor. Her mental status exam and the mri all came up showing she was "indicative" of alzheimers. You really cant diagnose alzheimers until after death. I have no doubt that is what she had. We didnt do the autopsy. She died 4 years after we brought her to live with us. [/QUOTE]
