Is Your Spouse Showing Early Signs Of Alzheimers? Now Casting

Is your husband or wife showing early signs of Alzheimer's?

Does he or she ask repetitive questions or retell stories within minutes of the first mention?

Does your husband or wife have difficulty finding the “right” word when they are speaking? Does he or she forget or substitute words for everyday things (such as “the cooking thingamajig” for pot or “hair fixer” for comb)?

Do you see signs of depression (including changes in sleep, appetite, mood)?

Has your spouse begun to be disoriented in new or unfamiliar environments (such as a hospital or airport), asking where she is, how she got there, or how to get back to a place she recognizes?

Does your spouse “lose” items often?
Do they turn up in unusual places (such as finding a wallet in the freezer)?

Is it hard for him or her to plan ahead (such as figuring out what groceries are needed or where to spend a holiday)?

Are you worried about your loved one and want them to be able to preserve all of the memories that you have shared together? What questions do you have for "The Doctors"?

If this sounds like you or someone you know, we want to hear your story. Remember to be specific and to provide a lot of details.
