What to Expect: The Stages of Alzheimer's Disease: They sure can fool you

» biogardener - They sure can fool you

People who suffer from Alzheimer's can sure fool you. Only someone who lives with them knows for sure. My mother was able to fool everyone, including her own brother and her other children for 25 years, because she could carry on intelligent conversations with the greatest of ease. She was not able to fool the gereatric medical specialist to diagnosed her, though, because he knew what to look for. He also would look at me every time she answered him to verify if her answer was correct or not.

To find out if your uncle was misdiagnosed or not, you really need to stay with him for a longer period of time.
