In additon to the symptoms mentioned above some other symptoms in the eary stages include forgetfulness with daily routine chores, confusion of making decisions, money management. Loss of spontaneity and initiative, repetitive actions and statements, judgement changes.

Don't allow the doctor to say that it is a normal part of aging because it is not necessarily so. There are many misconceptions. More ingormation can be found by doing an Internet search of organizations that specialize and has resources for those who want to understand an support those with Alzheimer's
