Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 , I am sorry to hear your husband has Alzheimer’s disease. Parkinson’s is bad enough. He is very young but I have heard of many people getting Alzheimer’s in their 40’s. Keep in touch. Having lupus is hard enough but when we have extra family burdens it is a big stress factor. Your lupie friend, From: Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 8:51 AM To: Lupies Subject: checking in to say hi The biggest thing keeping me down lately (besides the wolf) is my husbands condition. He has Parkinson's Disease w/ what the dr. labeled as " PD Plus OR early on-set Alzheimers. I can see these subtle changes lately. He is just 47....way to young to have to deal with this. Physically he is getting around better than I do lately! lol But it is the cognitive things, his memory & decision making skills, that scare me. We've been together 24/7 for 26 yrs. now. I feel like I'm slowly losing him. I think watching President Reagan's funeral really brought home what is in our future. ____________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
