Is It Alzeimers?
A close friend of mine has four grown daughters. These days it seems that they are always after her about the things she says. One of them told her how negative she is, another said “Do you ever listen to yourself? Always saying be careful, or don’t do this, or watch out”.
The third daughter told my friend she was going to buy her a wooden spoon since she likes to stir things up with the family. Then to top it off, the fourth daughter said she didn’t say some things her mother was sure she said and accused the mom of saying some nasty things that my friend doesn’t remember saying.
Sorry if this sounds confusing, but I don’t know how I should respond. My friend has always been known for her cheerful disposition and all of these recent comments have her wondering if she is beginning to show signs of Alzeimers. She has become more forgetful lately and sometimes gets weepy for no reason. But that could be part of getting older.
I intend to do an Internet search for symptoms, but if my friend is in the early stages of that awful disease, I’m not sure how I should proceed. How would you handle it?

the best way to know about your friends feelings is to see a Doctor who knows all the symptoms of people.
