Alzheimers And Pain In Head?
Posted: 11-29-05 17:46pm

My dad, 84, is in mid stages of alzheimers. Last night he could not sleep, and when my mom asked him what was wrong he said his head didn't feel right. He has trouble with his words, so not sure if it was pain, pressure etc, but is this common? He said it wasn't a headache, it was a different kind of discomfort.
Just wondering if anyone else has had similar experience, or input.
Thanks, andrea

In the beginning stages of the disease, people will experience some mild memory problems. As the disease progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult to remember events that occurred very recently-say, the day before, or even just a few hours prior to the present time. Memory loss at this point looks more and more like dementia: affected people may not = be able to recall appropriate words.

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease. Its symptoms are memory problems, confusion and disorientation, depression, mood swing,inappropriate behavior, hallucinations and delusions, etc.


We represent mitamins, an on-line company supplying customized vitamin supplements to the usa. We hope this information may be of interest to you.

Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder that occurs in the later years of life. People with alzheimer’s develop progressive loss of memory and gradually lose the ability to function and to take care of themselves.

Dr balch's nutritional team has created a formula designed to build support and protection for the entire nervous system. Powerful botanicals used for improving mental functions have been included in large doses. Alongside major anti-oxidants, a complete set of nutritional components for effective brain cell function is featured in this comprehensive mix.

Acetyl l-carnitine and phosphatidylserine have been shown to improve brain cell communication and memory. Flaxseed provides essential nutrients for normal brain function. Ginkgo biloba benefits brain circulation and memory and is also a powerful antioxidant. Omega - 3 fatty acids is a primary component of brain neurons. Huperzine a and lecithin both assist brain function and memory by increasing acetylcholine brain levels. Vitamin b complex 100, vitamin b12 and thiamin are critical nutrients for normal brain function. Vitamin e is a strong antioxidant protecting the brain from free radical damage. Ashwagandha is a potent tonic for the brain. Both asian ginseng and cordyseps are helpful for improving memory. Nadh has been shown to improve mental function. Antioxidant/complete multivitamin mix helps to prevent cerebral oxidative damage through total body health.

Dr. Balch works with mitamins to provide custom-made natural remedies for anyone who wants an all-in-one daily supplement that addresses all their health concerns, as well as providing the vitamins and minerals needed for optimum health and wellness.

If you are concerned or unsure about your symptoms, please contact your healthcare provider for professional medical advice.
