Memory Problems Could Be Early Alzheimer’s Act Now!

Early AlzheimerWhat Are the Symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease?
Common symptoms of early Alzheimer’s include:

• Loss of memory that affects daily living – You may find that you rely more on notes or family members to remember appointments or things that you used to handle on your own.

• Poor judgment leading to unusual decision-making — You might forget to pay bills, or pay less attention to personal grooming.

• Challenges in planning or problem-solving — Following a plan or a recipe may be more difficult, or your concentration may be easily broken.

• Difficulty completing familiar tasks — You may forget where everyday items are kept, how to use a device, or how to get somewhere you visit frequently.

• Confusion with time and place — You may lose track of the date and the passage of time, when events occurred, or not understand where you are or how you got there.

• Trouble understanding visual images — You might have difficulty reading or judging distance, which can cause issues with your balance.

• Losing things and having trouble retracing steps — You might put things in an unusual place or mistakenly blame others for hiding things from you.

• Withdrawing from social activities — You may drop out of conversations or have trouble finding certain words.

• Changes in mood and personality — You may become more irritable, easily frustrated, or upset when outside of familiar surroundings.

None of these are enough by themselves to make a diagnosis. But if you or someone you know are experiencing any of these symptoms, call Renstar today to learn about a new Alzheimer’s Disease trial.
