Again, type 2 diabetes is the culprit.
This disease has such an insidious nature. Type 2 might just be the disease that wipes out humanity.

Yes, I definitely have noticed this to (on me, not you) but for me this is more pronounced if I am out of shape and then have a strenuous workout. I workout regularly and this is not an issue. However, I will say that I can certainly tell when a non-regular comes in for a hard workout. If they are next to me on the machine I know I’m in for an unpleasant stay.
I got a chuckle out of it but I’ve got to tell you, the response to your post was even funnier!
Interesting. I have read that if the doc is presented with a geriatric female exhibiting symptoms of Dementia he should first suspect Urinary Tract Infection.
My Mom has Dementia / Alzheimers / whatever the favorite term is today and when she gets especially disoriented I immediately order a culture which usually results in treatment for a UTI. The problem is that in the Geriatric the blood brain barrier is compromised and infectious agents can cross into the brain. Like Urea?
Yup. Most assuredly see the same thing.
How did you survive? I would think that would be impossible. You must be beaten to a pulp.
Amazing, I defend the President of the USA and get lambasted for it.
Just wow.
Lactulose is used to bring people out of a coma, how could it not be helpful? Asking for a friend.
Btt
I would never claim it was easy. Far from it. A couple of things did made it easier than it could have been. Other caretakers have it much harder when the opposite is true.
One, my mom was such a sweetheart that no hidden darkness or violence (of any consequence) came forth when her mind began losing control. She was somewhat weak physically and needed a walker starting about 3-4 years in which kept her from doing dangerous things. Mostly. She was sleight of build so when I had to physically carry her etc. I could handle that and it was infrequent. Her physical health remained otherwise sound until the last three months.
Beyond that we were always close and she did so much for me for so many years I could only consider it my privilege to care for her. The hardest part was not what I might have considered my sacrifices to do it but helplessly watching that *@#$ disease steal her memories and mental abilities in an ultra-slow motion fashion. And she was aware that that was happening and it upset her. That tore my heart out.
No. Uric acid crystals. Inability of the liver to metabolize certain types of proteins, most commonly purines.
Hanging out with Democrats? Getting one's news off of Facebook?
IMO, Two big causes of dementia are sugar in all its various forms and cholesterol limiting medications.
You may be right. It’s unfortunate because type 2 diabetes is preventable and curable.
Thanks Red Badger. They'd have a larger pool of data if they'd do their study on Demwit politicians and media shills.
I admit, my jokes often fall flat, but you sir, got a big laugh out of me with that.
That wasn’t just dry humour, that was Sahara dead bones dry humour. Oh well, not everyone got it but about half at least figured it out. The funny thing is that the moderator didn’t bother to figure it out before it got yanked. Such is life....
Apparently the mods didn’t get it.
