Book Synopsis I Am Waiting for When I Forget I Have Alzheimer’s Disease by : Brian Scott Edwards M.D.
Download or read book I Am Waiting for When I Forget I Have Alzheimer’s Disease written by Brian Scott Edwards M.D. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-02-06 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a different type of book on Alzheimer’s. There are no claims on how to prevent this dementia. There are no claims on how to cure Alzheimer’s. In a cancer diagnosis, the patient can fight and win. In Alzheimer’s, no one has fought and won. Don’t fight, have fun. The patient’s time is limited, so instead of looking for false nostrums, look on how you can improve your relationships with people and socialize. This book is not about the futility of treating Alzheimer’s. I will leave that to the many trials that have been done. This book is about how I adjusted to the shock of the diagnosis and then went on to live the best life I possibly could.

Book Synopsis Alzheimer’s Is Inexorable by : Brian Scott Edwards MD FNLA
Download or read book Alzheimer’s Is Inexorable written by Brian Scott Edwards MD FNLA and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fourth book about my life with Alzheimer’s. I have written these books to encourage people get the diagnosis made early in the course of the disease. My first neurologist asked me, "What difference does it make?” My diagnosis was made in December 2017, and I think it made all the difference in the world. In the year 1 book, I wrote about getting the diagnosis. In the year 2 book, I wrote about traveling with Alzheimer’s. In the year 3 book, I write about making a transition to more alternate medicine. The present year, the fourth book, I write about maintaining a good cognitive state without much deterioration. I believe each year is different and much more than just a diary. As a physician, I showed my long journey in educating myself and opening myself to new ideas. I hope this gives people with the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s hope and shows them different possibilities of approaching their diagnosis. Next, I will write year 5 of my saga.

This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is my third book in a series of diary type entries about the progress of my Alzheimer’s disease since December 2017 when it was first diagnosed. I have changed my opinions about doing better with nostrums and vitamins. There is no cure. One reason I changed my mind is that I have done so well during the third year. I do believe Namzaric, getting cholesterol and blood pressure low with medicine is key to preventing stroke and a sudden decline in mentation. I published my lab results which I usually get every three months. My next book will be titled: Alzheimer’s is Inexorable. Year Four. Let’s see if my title is premature.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Great Forgetting by : Patrick Gruener
Download or read book Beyond the Great Forgetting written by Patrick Gruener and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-29 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a selection of carefully curated autobiographical and fictional portrayals of the dementia experience, this book gives voice to some of the most pressing ethical issues that commonly arise in the context of a dementing disorder, and calls attention to various forms of narrative resistance in contemporary American literature on early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Based on the premise that the current public discourse on AD is largely dominated by an anxiety and fear-promoting conception of the illness, this multilayered inquiry strives to look beyond the widespread horrors of forgetting and loss in AD, and, in doing so, attempts to give a better, more accurate, and more balanced impression of what it means to be living with such a diagnosis.
Book Synopsis I Will Never Forget by : Elaine C. Pereira
Download or read book I Will Never Forget written by Elaine C. Pereira and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is painfully difficult to watch a loved one decline as dementia ravages their mind, destroying memories, rational thinking, and judgment. In her touching memoir, I Will Never Forget, Elaine Pereira shares the heartbreaking and humorous story of her mother’s incredible journey through dementia. Pereira begins with entertaining glimpses into her own childhood and feisty teenage years, demonstrating her mother’s strength of character. Years later, as Betty Ward started to exhibit bizarre behaviors and paranoia, Pereira was mystified by her mom’s amazing ability to mask the truth. Not until a revealing incident over an innocuous drapery rod did Pereira recognize the extent of her mother’s Alzheimer’s. As their roles shifted and a new paradigm emerged, Pereira transformed into a caregiver blindly navigating dementia’s unpredictable haze. But before Betty’s passing, she orchestrated a stunning rally to control her own destiny via a masterful, Houdini-like escape. I Will Never Forget is a powerful heartwarming story that helps others know that they are not alone in their journey. “Poignant, shocking, and honest … far more than just words on paper. If you or someone you know is living through the hell of dementia, you need this book!” —Ionia Martin, developer of Readful Things Reviews and Alzheimer’s caregiver
Book Synopsis Alzheimer’s Disease in Contemporary U.S. Fiction by : Cristina Garrigós
Download or read book Alzheimer’s Disease in Contemporary U.S. Fiction written by Cristina Garrigós and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume seeks to bring readers to a deeper understanding of contemporary cultural and social configurations of Alzheimer’s disease by analyzing 21st-century U.S. novels in which the disease plays a key narrative role. Via analysis of selected works, Garrigós considers how the erasure of memory in a person with Alzheimer’s affects our idea of the identity of that person and their sense of belonging to a group. Starting out from three different types of memory (individual, social and cultural), the study focuses on the narrative strategies that authors use to configure how the disease is perceived and represented. This study is significant not only because of what the texts reveal about those with Alzheimer’s, but also for what they say about us - about the authors and readers who are producing and consuming these texts, about how we see this disease, and what our attitudes to it say about contemporary U.S. society.

Book excerpt: A moving story of a woman with early onset Alzheimer's disease, now a major Academy Award-winning film starring Julianne Moore and Kristen Stewart. Alice Howland is proud of the life she worked so hard to build. At fifty, she's a cognitive psychology professor at Harvard and a renowned expert in linguistics, with a successful husband and three grown children. When she begins to grow forgetful and disoriented, she dismisses it for as long as she can until a tragic diagnosis changes her life - and her relationship with her family and the world around her - for ever. Unable to care for herself, Alice struggles to find meaning and purpose as her concept of self gradually slips away. But Alice is a remarkable woman, and her family learn more about her and each other in their quest to hold on to the Alice they know. Her memory hanging by a frayed thread, she is living in the moment, living for each day. But she is still Alice.

Download or read book The Last Ocean written by Nicci Gerrard and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the award-winning journalist and author, a lyrical, raw and humane investigation of dementia that explores both the journeys of the people who live with the condition and those of their loved ones After a diagnosis of dementia, Nicci Gerrard’s father, John, continued to live life on his own terms, alongside the disease. But when an isolating hospital stay precipitated a dramatic turn for the worse, Gerrard, an award-winning journalist and author, recognized that it was not just the disease, but misguided protocol and harmful practices that cause such pain at the end of life. Gerrard was inspired to seek a better course for all who suffer because of the disease. The Last Ocean is Gerrard’s investigation into what dementia does to both the person who lives with the condition and to their caregivers. Dementia is now one of the leading causes of death in the West, and this necessary book will offer both comfort and a map to those walking through it. While she begins with her father’s long slip into forgetting, Gerrard expands to examine dementia writ large. Gerrard gives raw but literary shape both to the unimaginable loss of one’s own faculties, as well as to the pain of their loved ones. Her lens is unflinching, but Gerrard honors her subjects and finds the beauty and the humanity in their seemingly diminished states. In so doing, she examines the philosophy of what it means to have a self, as well as how we can offer dignity and peace to those who suffer with this terrible disease. Not only will it aid those walking with dementia patients, The Last Ocean will prompt all of us to think on the nature of a life well lived.
Book Synopsis Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory by : Andrew E. Budson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Is your memory normal? To answer that question we need to start with a different question: What is normal memory? In Step 1 we will learn about the problems that are part of normal memory. One thing that makes memory loss tricky, however, is that the difference between normal and abnormal memory isn't necessarily the type of problems that occur but rather the frequency and severity of those problems. Nonetheless, in order for us to begin to help you know if your memory is normal or not, we need to first tell you about the memory errors that can happen to anyone of any age and then let you know what changes occur to memory as we get older"--

Book Synopsis Alzheimer’S—What They Forget to Tell You by : Caron Leid
Download or read book Alzheimer’S—What They Forget to Tell You written by Caron Leid and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-03-17 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although more and more people are being affected by Alzheimer’s disease, there is not enough information surrounding the true daily struggle of the disease. Although parts of this story were extremely difficult to write, and worse to ensure that the moments were captured exactly as they were it really is a personal journey. This is a story to inspire people not to take any moment for granted. This disease does not only rob a person of their memory, it takes their dignity and independence with it. It is a story of testing someone’s resolve, and realizing that life is truly what you make of it. This story is dedicated to my mother, I love her and I know there are still pieces of her still with me, and that is what I hold on to. I wish I had the information in this book, when my mother was fi rst diagnosed with this horrible disease, but a long with my story, I have put in a lot of resources that are available to others. It also shows that even though you don’t think that you have strength, you fi nd a way and you don’t give up. I hope my story inspires you, and at least you can use something in this book, whether the disease affects someone you know, or for preventative care.

Download or read book Second Forgetting written by Dr. Benjamin T. Mast and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is hope in Alzheimer's disease, but it isn't where most people look for it... Any form of dementia is terrifying and lonely for both the one suffering it and for those close to them. How do our relationships with those we love change with loss of memory or clarity of thought? What happens to our relationship with God? For those suffering from early-stage Alzheimer's, for their friends and family, community and church, this book will help you understand the disease itself, how to love and care for those affected by it, and how to see the hope that's greater than it: we may forget, but God always remembers. With pastoral tenderness and gospel confidence, Dr. Benjamin Mast shares his expertise on the subject and displays the power of the gospel that remains intact even when memory fades. Second Forgetting provides: Up-to-date answers to common questions about the disease and its effect on personal identity and faith. Personal stories of those affected and the loved ones who care for them and what their experiences were like—where they found hope and how they most needed support. Practical suggestions for how the church can come alongside families and those struggling or hurting. When a person is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, they face great uncertainty, knowing that they can expect to live their remaining years with increasing confusion and progressively greater reliance upon other people to care for them. Dr. Mast will help you see how Alzheimer's disease cannot have the final say on God's unforgotten children.
