Living Through and Coping with the Jumbled Thoughts of Dementia and Alzheimer's

By Leah, Health Guide Tuesday, July 31, 2007

I've had some new experiences.  The most alarming involves thought.  I am experiencing some jumbling of thought.  On one occasion, I was watching TV and the words the person was saying didn't make any sense to me...my thoughts cleared up, though, and I began to understand.  ANd, sometimes when my husband talks to me, everything gets very jumbled in my head... I wait and ask him to say it again more slowly...and I begin to be able to assimilate what he is saying.  I guess this is typical for dementia...hope it doesn't increase too much too soon. 

According to Univ. of PA memory studies, Vit. E and folic acid help with the brain.  I've been taking copious amts of folic acid for almost a year.  I am now going to begin Vit. E.
