I don't know how long the last stage of Alzheimer's (AD) goes on, but I'll bet it can go quick or can go slow. I was Primary Caregiver for my MIL. My youngest SIL told hubby and me that her mom's AD seems to have come on real quick--like she went thru 2 or 3 stages in 3 months. She was living at home at the time that her grandma lived with them and her daughter (youngest SIL's mom) took care of her. Her grandma's AD went thru one stage after another very, very, very slowly. So, now I can see that AD can go fast or slow--depending. I do know that ASPARTAME causes a lot of the AD. My MIL always was drinking diet drinks and eating light foods. If you're eating or drinking diet or light, get off of them now and switch to regular foods (just eat smaller portions). Also, if you have foods with the ingredient ASPARTAME in them--they'll make you more thirsty and more hungry. So you'll consume more and put on more weight and then you'll feel like you have to keep dieting. You don't want to do that, do you? Take care of yourselves. Good luck!
I want to know how long is the last stage of this devasting, endless sufferign illness. My mom is in her last stage. She is bedridden and is in tremendous pain do to constipation rectal pain and riged frail body. I can not sleep at night i wake up crying for my mom. I adore my mother she is my lifeline. I know I will miss her when she is gone, but for such a long time i have been saying good-by, it seems like a slow, slow death. I would give anything if i could take away my mom's pain and give her back her dignity and quality of life that she once enjoyed. She tells me I have been a good daughter and to promise her I will not cry. I can't promise that for i cry everyday of my life. I cry when i see a movie or i hear a song that reminds me of her. At times my mom cries to GOD to take her away. She is so tired of suffering. She has lost her appetite and is now skin and bones. She has body odor and foul breath and her tounge is white. Everytime I am with her all she wants is for me to lie by her side. It is heartbreaking for me, especially when she complains of her rectal pain, which she says is like giving birth. Please, anyone can anyone tell me when the last stage will end? thank you all for listening to me. luv myra. P.S. Please pray for us. I need your prayers. I need strength to continue for I must continue to live for the sake of my children and for the sake of humanity. I know that i have a mission on this earth and that is to help anyone the crosses my path with empathy.compassion and love! Please pray so that I may find the peace that I crave for and that I so much need.
