My soon to be 86 yr old Momma was just recently "diagnosed" with having Mild Cognitive Impairment. I live with my Momma and I'm with her almost 24/7. Her memory has slowly gotten worse over the last few weeks. She saw a Neurologist last Friday for the first time. Is this condition a precursor to Altheimer's and or Dementia? If it is, how can this condition ever get better in some people? I read up on some articles from Mayo Clinic and Altzheimers.com that seem to suggest that some people "get better".
Momma's memory issues in my humble opinion is anything but "mild". I still feel like I'm in the dark about her condition and what I should be prepared to face.
Can someone help me out please?
In my mother's case I can't say that it has helped her thinking. She was far into the disease before I started the vitamins. I know having the right amount is beneficial, though, so I'm glad I started. Ask your mother's doctor if she thinks these things would help.
We had more luck with her family doctor taking it seriously than the neurologist.
There are drugs that can lessen the symptons for early to mid stages..
I would describe mild cognitive impairment as dementia..
I might be able to find out if Momma can take Vitamins B12 and D3 and E. Momma is already taking a daily vitamin.
