how does alzheimer’s kill you?

352 views

My mom got diagnosed with early onset alzheimer’s back in 2009 when she was in her early 40s and she lost her mind a couple months after, but she still lives to this day only it’s not her anymore if that makes sense. I hear lots of people say they lost their loved ones to alzheimer’s and it kills me that my mom can’t get the same fate because (I’m gonna get alot of hate for this) death is far more humane than what she’s going through at the moment.

Alzheimer’s disease is mostly associated with memory loss, but that’s just one of the early symptoms. Over time you basically start losing part of your brain functions, you stop being able to physically take care of yourself. You eat less, move less and so your body degenerates. Eventually you die from related causes like bed sores and pneumonia.
