CRUMBLES ! !
There goes another useless alarm of some type.
Tru here on July 30. This morning is driving me crazy. Since I have lost my auditory sense of direction, I can hear the sound but cannot tell what direction sound is coming from. And my memory is impaired so cannot remember what sounds the different appliances emit. I suspect the piercing chirps this morning were from smoke alarm somewhere. When I hear the other sounds I don’t know whether to check the toaster, stove, the convection oven, the landline phone, my cell phone, or look around for what I have forgotten elsewhere. Once in a while I figure out what is making the sound, but probably half the time I give up before figure it out. It is all just so very frustrating; an exercise for futility and patience. For many years alarms were wonderful tools to meet needs … but this year? … I think I have progressed past their usefulness. grr-r-r-r !!
August 6: Have not had smell hallucinations for months but … they’re back !! and loud tinnitus buzzing in my ears. grr-r-r-r
Had problems this morning also: Standing in bedroom. I know I have clothes but what are they and where are they? (Wardrobe door is closed.) Received message from someone – but do I know this person? I know that I have a tool to help me with this, but is it a book? Is it an index card in a file somewhere? What and where is that tool? (contact file in computer). Reaching for an apple … in the drawer under the oven ??? LOL What a day !!!

I understand how difficult this is for you, but I do want to thank you for sharing. I wish my mother would have shared with me instead of trying to “hide symptoms”. I only know a little now. Once in a while She’ll tell me She feels “broken”. Now She’s in hospice care, but still walking, talking (as best She can) and eating. I wish you the best. ❤

So sorry to hear she feels “broken”. You might appreciate video my friends and I did this morning on night issues. One of the issues is lack of real rest (due to nightmares or insomnia from dementia symptoms) and how broken you feel without rest.

Thanks Brian. ❤ Wish I had some hopeful new coping strategies for consideration — but am currently too exhausted to be creative.

just over a year. So nice to meet you Shirl. ❤ When first diagnosed I spent a year looking for other things written by the person living with the symptoms but found very few. Now I have a large list at https://truthfulkindness.com/links/ 😀 Hope to hear more from you – stay in contact. My FaceBook page is https://www.facebook.com/truthful.kindness (because Truthful Kindness is my legal name)

It seems that I have heard very young ages but youngest age of my friends is late 30s.
