Alzheimer's is a heart breaking disease and you need to educate yourself.

Disease Alzheimer’s can be particularly difficult to diagnose. In fact, an Alzheimer’s diagnoses cannot be confirmed until after death, when the brain can be autopsied and shown to possess damage on a cellular level. The first difficulty in achieving diagnoses can be the patient themselves. Patients often attribute the symptoms of Alzheimer’s to simply “getting old,” or in most cases, they may be unaware of the changes in their behavior. When a patient does approach their doctor about memory problems, the doctor must sift through all the evidence to determine if Alzheimer’s disease is present, or if it is one of the numerous conditions that produce similar symptoms. Despite the fact that doctors must rule in Alzheimer’s after they have ruled everything else out, diagnoses of the disease are consider to be close to 90% accurate. Anyway, you have to know what is Alzheimer’s.
