A dementia-friendly society is not yet in reach. ~ Meryl Comer
Alzheimer quotes by Meryl Comer
Alzheimer's caregivers are heroes. ~ Leeza Gibbons
Alzheimer quotes by Leeza Gibbons
Postmodernism is Modernism with Alzheimer's. ~ Walter Darby Bannard
Alzheimer quotes by Walter Darby Bannard
Dying from an aggressive fatal brain tumor is like dying from Alzheimer's disease accelerated one hundred times. ~ Steven Magee
Alzheimer quotes by Steven Magee
That so many people respond to me is fabulous. It is like having a kind of Alzheimer's disease, where everyone knows you and you don't know anyone. ~ Tony Curtis
Alzheimer quotes by Tony Curtis
This is the true wine of astonishment: We are not over when we think we are. ~ Alice Walker
Alzheimer quotes by Alice Walker
But you can see it, Harriet, a look in his eyes, an alertness, as if somewhere behind the disease, behind the scar tissue, behind the fog of disassociation, Bernard is all there, he's just lost his ability to communicate. Like somebody turned off his volume. You're certain he can see everything that is transpiring with crystal clarity, and he can't do a goddamn thing about it. ~ Jonathan Evison
Alzheimer quotes by Jonathan Evison
The great tragedy of Alzheimer's disease, and the reason why we dread it, is that it leaves us with no defence, not even against those who love us. ~ P.D. James
Alzheimer quotes by P.D. James
Amnesiac was written to make fun of senior citizens with alzheimers. I hate them and I wish they'd die. ~ Thom Yorke
Alzheimer quotes by Thom Yorke
I'm always giving myself the Alzheimer's test. My shrink told me to do this. It takes one minute. You name every word that comes to mind that begins with the letter F. ~ Ray Romano
Alzheimer quotes by Ray Romano
She almost thought she'd said the words aloud, but she hadn't. They remained trapped in her head, but not because they were barricaded by plaques and tangles. She just couldn't say them aloud ~ Lisa Genova
Alzheimer quotes by Lisa Genova
If knew more about Alzheimer's and the Brain, your mind will be blow and most cases you will confused... ~ Deyth Banger
Alzheimer quotes by Deyth Banger
Forget politics. The real story is the advancements being made in medicine. We're on the verge of conquering cancer and Alzheimer's and numerous other diseases. The DNA revolution has just begun. Scientific advancement usually trumps politics. ~ Douglas Brinkley
Alzheimer quotes by Douglas Brinkley
Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's. ~ George Carlin
Alzheimer quotes by George Carlin
There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist. ~ Terry Pratchett
Alzheimer quotes by Terry Pratchett
Ronald Reagan's well documented final battles with Alzheimer's disease were fought with the same conviction and courage that his many public battles were fought. ~ William L. Jenkins
Alzheimer quotes by William L. Jenkins
I am particularly interested in Alzheimer's disease and have been for some time now. ~ John O'Keefe
Alzheimer quotes by John O'Keefe
My father started growing very quiet as Alzheimer's started claiming more of him. The early stages of Alzheimer's are the hardest because that person is aware that they're losing awareness. And I think that that's why my father started growing more and more quiet. ~ Patti Davis
Alzheimer quotes by Patti Davis
A man goes to the doctor for a check, and the doctor exams him and says I've got bad news, you've got cancer and alzheimers. The man goes Thank god I don't have cancer. ~ Gilbert Gottfried
Alzheimer quotes by Gilbert Gottfried
They think I don't know what I'm thinking, but I do. ~ Ron Mayes
Alzheimer quotes by Ron Mayes
Embracing a healing presence requires you to just be in the moment together. ~ Nancy L. Kriseman
Alzheimer quotes by Nancy L. Kriseman
One of the great changes wrought by the increased public awareness of Alzheimer's - and thank you, Nancy Reagan, you wonderful tough old dame, you - is that people in the early stages of the disease are now speaking out while they still have the capacity to do so. ~ Charlie Pierce
Alzheimer quotes by Charlie Pierce
I have vowed that rather than let Alzheimer's take me, I would take it, i would live my life as ever to the full and die, before the disease mounted its last attack, in my own home, in a chair on the lawn, with a brandy in my hand to wash down whatever modern version of the Brompton Cocktail some helpful medic could supply. And with Thomas Tallis on my iPod, I would shake hands with death. ~ Terry Pratchett
Alzheimer quotes by Terry Pratchett
Then he stared down at the twinkling lights and sobbed, "All my stars fell out of the sky. ~ Belinda Bauer
Alzheimer quotes by Belinda Bauer
We've had numerous people diagnosed with Alzheimer's who got better; they just come out of it; they are leading normal lives today. And then, of course, what the doctors say is it's not Alzheimer's. You run into that Catch-22 all the time. They say, well, it was probably just a temporary premature dementia, and they write-off the recovery to preserve their ignorance. ~ Richard M. Schulze
Alzheimer quotes by Richard M. Schulze
Katie informed us that there was a life ever after, a place called Heaven or Eternal Rest where there was no pain or suffering. She forewarned him of his death and his Alzheimer Disease disappeared. He saw a fast rewind replay of his life and he regained his sanity on his deathbed he got an opportunity to say thanks for everything and goodbye to his loved ones. His gift to Emma was a kiss sealing the gift of a ghost whisperer to Emma so he will never abandon her or the kids. They will communicate forever. He will help her through this life and return watching over her and navigate a path for her into the next life, Heaven ~ Annette J. Dunlea
Alzheimer quotes by Annette J. Dunlea
I'm so sorry I have this. I can't stand the thought of how much worse this is going to get. I can't stand the thought of looking at you someday, and this face I love, and not knowing who you are."
She traced the outline of his jaw and chin and the creases of his sorely out of practice laugh lines with her hands. She wiped the sweat from his forehead and the tears from his eyes.
"I can barely breathe when I think about it. But we have to think about it. I don't know how much longer I have to know you. We need to talk about what's going to happen."
He tipped his glass back, swallowed until there was nothing left, and then sucked a little more from the ice. Then he looked at her with a scared and profound sorrow in his eyes that she'd never seen there before.
"I don't know if I can. ~ Lisa Genova
Alzheimer quotes by Lisa Genova
Most innovations, unfortunately, actually increase the net costs of the healthcare system. There's a few, particularly having to do with chronic diseases, that are an exception. If you could cure Alzheimer's, if you could avoid diabetes - those are gigantic in terms of saving money. But the incentive regime doesn't favor them. ~ Bill Gates
Alzheimer quotes by Bill Gates
Alzheimer's disease starts when a protein that should be folded up properly misfolds into a kind of demented origami. ~ Gregory Petsko
Alzheimer quotes by Gregory Petsko
You're so beautiful," said Alice. "I'm afraid of looking at you and not knowing who you are."
"I think that even if you don't know who I am someday, you'll still know that I love you."
"What if I see you, and I don't know that you're my daughter, and I don't know that you love me?"
"Then, I'll tell you that I do, and you'll believe me. ~ Lisa Genova
Alzheimer quotes by Lisa Genova
Every time I read to her, it was like I was courting her, because sometimes, just sometimes, she would fall in love with me again, just like she had a long time ago. And that's the most wonderful feeling in the world. How many people are ever given that chance? To have someone you love fall in love with you over and over? ~ Nicholas Sparks
Alzheimer quotes by Nicholas Sparks
In Wisconsin, We're at the forefront of research that might one day bring cures for diseases like Parkinsons and Alzheimers, and we must seize its great potential. ~ Jim Doyle
Alzheimer quotes by Jim Doyle
Visigoth and Gaul, politics and plague. She fought on, struggling in tandem with antiquated interpretations and outmoded explanations, wondering at the senselessness of something so strong, so powerful, so immovable fading from history, disappearing, once and for all time, into shadow and dust. ~ Fiddles McMonkeypants
Alzheimer quotes by Fiddles McMonkeypants
People think it's just forgetting your keys, she says. Or the words for things. But there are the personality changes. The mood swings. The
hostility and even violence. Even from the gentlest person in the world. You lose the person you love. And you are left with the shell... And you are expected to go on loving them even when they are no longer there. You are supposed to be loyal. It's not
that other people expect it. It's that you expect it of yourself. And you long for it to be over soon. ~ Alice LaPlante
Alzheimer quotes by Alice LaPlante
Her purse was a weight, ballast; it tethered her to the earth as her mind floated away. ~ Anne Lamott
Alzheimer quotes by Anne Lamott
Many caregivers share that they often feel alone, isolated, and unappreciated. Mindfulness can offer renewed hope for finding support and value for your role as a caregiver…It is an approach that everyone can use. It can help slow you down some so you can make the best possible decisions for your care recipient. It also helps bring more balance and ease while navigating the caregiving journey. ~ Nancy L. Kriseman
Alzheimer quotes by Nancy L. Kriseman
Decades later I would look into my father's eyes and try to reach past the murkiness of Alzheimer's with my words, my apology, hoping that in his heart he heard me and understood. ~ Patti Davis
Alzheimer quotes by Patti Davis
Most Alzheimer's sufferers aren't diagnosed until their 70s. However, we now know that their brains began deteriorating long before that. ~ Michael Greger
Alzheimer quotes by Michael Greger
Perhaps there is something within the genetic make-up of specific individuals which predisposes them to accumulate and retain aluminium in their brain, as is similarly suggested for individuals with familial Alzheimer's disease. The new evidence strongly suggests that aluminium is entering the brain in ASD via pro-inflammatory cells which have become loaded up with aluminium in the blood and/or lymph, much as has been demonstrated for monocytes at injection sites for vaccines including aluminium adjuvants. Perhaps we now have the putative link between vaccination and ASD, the link being the inclusion of an aluminium adjuvant in the vaccine. ~ James Morcan
Alzheimer quotes by James Morcan
I think the best thing I ever did with my life was stand up and say I've got Alzheimer's. ~ Terry Pratchett
Alzheimer quotes by Terry Pratchett
My mother had early-onset Alzheimer's, and it took her four years to die. She was only 44; I was 14. ~ Karolyn Grimes
Alzheimer quotes by Karolyn Grimes
Her ability to use language, that thing that most separates humans from animals, was leaving her, and she was feeling less and less human as it departed. She's said a tearful good-bye to okay some time ago. ~ Lisa Genova
Alzheimer quotes by Lisa Genova
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come. ~ William Shakespeare
Alzheimer quotes by William Shakespeare
I am saddened when I hear these words -this is not the person I knew - because those words objectify the person suffering from Alzheimer's. When you objectify a person you also dehumanize them. Once dehumanized the person becomes a villain. ~ Bob DeMarco
Alzheimer quotes by Bob DeMarco
The Bush people have no right to speak for my father, particularly because of the position he's in now (Alzheimer's Syndrome). Yes, some of the current policies are an extension of the '80s. But the overall thrust of this administration is not my father's - these people are overly reaching, overly aggressive, overly secretive, and just plain corrupt. I don't trust these people. ~ Ron Reagan
Alzheimer quotes by Ron Reagan
Above all, Alzheimer wanted the medical world to recognize that mental illnesses have an undeniable material component. There was an obvious political reason for taking such a position because it could then be established that dementia-like conditions are not part of the spiritual/theological domain, but undeniably biological in origin and therefore not attributable with moral implications. ~ Margaret M. Lock
Alzheimer quotes by Margaret M. Lock
It is leashed. Now drop the subject or I'll tell Sin you've seen me naked. (Kat) I will never bring this topic up again. Oh wait. What topic? I have Alzheimer's. I know nothing at all. (Kish) ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Alzheimer quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Never give up hope. If you do, you'll be dead already.
Dementia Patient, Rose from The Inspired Caregiver ~ Peggi Speers
Alzheimer quotes by Peggi Speers
Thin, I think, that fabric between realities. Maybe minds aren't lost. Maybe they just slip through and find a different place to wander. ~ C.J. Tudor
Alzheimer quotes by C.J. Tudor
I know three people who have got better after a brain tumour. I haven't heard of anyone who's got better from Alzheimer's. ~ Terry Pratchett
Alzheimer quotes by Terry Pratchett
I must admit I am nervous about getting Alzheimer's. Once it hits, I might tell my best joke and never know it. ~ Joan Rivers
Alzheimer quotes by Joan Rivers
Accepting the fact that she did indeed have Alzheimer's, that she could only bank on two unacceptably effective drugs available to treat it, and that she couldn't trade any of this in for some other, curable disease, what did she want? Assuming the in vitro procedure worked, she wanted to live to hold Anna's baby and know it was her grandchild. She wanted to see Lydia act in something she was proud of. She wanted to see Tom fall in love. She wanted one more sabbatical year with John. She wanted to read every book she could before she could no longer read.
She laughed a little, surprised at what she'd just revealed about herself. Nowhere in that list was anything about linguistics, teaching, or Harvard. She ate her last bite of cone. She wanted more sunny, seventy-degree days and ice-cream cones. ~ Lisa Genova
Alzheimer quotes by Lisa Genova
She wished she had cancer instead. She'd trade Alzheimer's for cancer in a heartbeat. She felt ashamed for wishing this, and it was certainly a pointless bargaining, but she permitted herself the fantasy anyway. With cancer, she'd have something to fight. There was surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. There was the chance that she could win. Her family and the community at Harvard would rally behind her battle and consider it noble. And even if it defeated her in the end, she'd be able to look them knowingly in the eye and say good-bye before she left. ~ Lisa Genova
Alzheimer quotes by Lisa Genova
A dear friend best expressed, in a few words, the aim of this book. When she reflected on my recovery from Alzheimer symptoms she stated: "You came back to life." She was right. For me, losing the ability to think, talk, and feed and clothe myself would be the same as dying. If you (or someone you know) suffer these symptoms, I want to bring you back to life." "Avoiding certain foods can reverse the many conditions caused by nerve damage - including damage to the nerves of the brain. The nerves of the brain can recover from years of abuse. ~ William E. Walsh
Alzheimer quotes by William E. Walsh
Those with dementia are still people and they still have stories and they still have character and they're all individuals and they're all unique. And they just need to be interacted with on a human level. ~ Carey Mulligan
Alzheimer quotes by Carey Mulligan
She is leaving him, not all at once, which would be painful enough, but in a wrenching succession of separations. One moment she is here, and then she is gone again, and each journey takes her a little farther from his reach. He cannot follow her, and he wonders where she goes when she leaves. ~ Debra Dean
Alzheimer quotes by Debra Dean
Please don't look at our scarlet A's and write us off. Look us in the eye, talk directly to us. Don't panic or take it personally if we make mistakes, because we will. We will repeat ourselves, we will misplace things, and we will get lost. We will forget your name and what you said two minutes ago. We will also try our hardest to compensate for and overcome our cognitive losses. ~ Lisa Genova
Alzheimer quotes by Lisa Genova
To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honors. ~ Tia Walker
Alzheimer quotes by Tia Walker
I want to tell you how much I miss my mother. Bits of her are still there. I miss her most when I'm sitting across from her. ~ Candy Crowley
Alzheimer quotes by Candy Crowley
This disease will not be bargained with. I can't offer it the names of the United States presidents in exchange for the names of my children. I can't give it the names of the state capitals and keep the memories of my husband. ~ Lisa Genova
Alzheimer quotes by Lisa Genova
Not all activities are equal in this regard. Those that involve genuine concentration - studying a musical instrument, playing board games, reading, and dancing - are associated with a lower risk for dementia. Dancing, which requires learning new moves, is both physically and mentally challenging and requires much concentration. Less intense activities, such as bowling, babysitting, and golfing, are not associated with a reduced incidence of Alzheimer's. (254) ~ Norman Doidge
Alzheimer quotes by Norman Doidge
I am daily learning
To be the reluctant guardian of your memories
There was light in those eyes; I miss that ~ Richard L. Ratliff
