How do people with Alzheimer’s not forget everything? For example, I have seen people with Alzheimer’s who do not remember loved ones and other stuff, but they still remember how to speak and how to move etc. What stops them from forgetting every single tiny little thing they know?
In: Biology
They do, eventually. In advanced Alzheimer’s, the ability to swallow, move, talk and all muscle control decreases until it’s gone. The last thing to go is breathing. Often, people in this state die from malnourishment, or infection/pneumonia. It’s a horrible, protracted way to go.
