Of all the dementia, dito ako pinakatakot kasi aggressive in the first few years. It is also more common sa younger people. I’ve had so many patients with this condition and mas severe siya compared sa Alzheimer’s or Senile degeneration etc. Praying for him and his family.
Physically sa itsura siya un mas mukhang bata kumpara kay Arnold Schwarzenegger and Stallone. Un pala un deterioration niya sa ibang paraan. Sad. Just sad.
No it's not peaceful. Mahirap sya both for the person and family kasi pag advanced stage na bantayin sila kasi madalas yung mood swings dahil disoriented, madalas nakakalimutan na yung time of day kung nakakain na or hindi tapos sa family mahirap to put up with that plus yung unti-unting nakikita mong nag dedeteriorate yung kanpamilya mo at yung what makes them themselves, unti-unting nawawala at wala kang magagawa.
Sa pagkaalam ko paurong na yung memory ng tao. Parang Benjamin button kaso mentally, yung nagiisip bata na at yung kilos din naapektuhan din. Doon na yung cause nung death.
Hindi yan yung "amnesia" na nasa isip mo. Sa case ni Bruce Willis,may memory sya,kaya nya kumilos,kaya nya magsalita,pero yun case nya na frontotemporal dementia,ang apektado sa kanya ay i-express ang feelings,yun bang may gusto syang sabihin or itanong,pero hindi nya kayang i-express or icompose ang sentence or pa-question. Yun bang may sinasabi sya pero halo-halo ang words pero dinsya aware or di nya sadya ang nabibigkas nya. Kaya ang nasa paligid nya esp family, hindi sya maiintindihan,kung may gusto ba sya,kung may kinukwento ba sya,kung may kailangan ba sya. Hirap explain ng hindi medical terms para maintindihan ng lahat e hehe.
Anong ok???!! Bakit ganito mag-isip ang ibang tao, na porke hindi cancer eh it's better to have it? Sakit pa din and dementia na walang lunas. As in walang gamot even after decades of studying it. You just let the disease take over an entire person until their body gives up years after their mind already has.
It can take 2 or 15 years having dementia before a person who has it passes away. Meron aggressive na type, meron very prolonged. It's a death sentence kahit buhay pa ang tao dahil everything they ever were, who they used to be...mawawala lahat.
I work in a dementia facility and it's very painful for families na makita relative nila and their Dad/Mom doesn't recognize them or can't even speak complete sentences, doesn't know how to dress themselves, can't eat by themselves anymore, and minsan may cases na totally nagbabago ang personality. It's a brutal disease. I've seen families crying when their parent just stares at them because they can't recognize their own children. Or a wife who constantly apologizes while crying each time we told her that her husband hit another resident, dahil hindi yun ang asawa nya na napakabait nung wala pang dementia but now has to be on 24/7 watch because he's hurting others. Ganyan kalala and kasakit ang dementia. It's never gonna be an 'ok' disease to have. Both dementia and cancer are horrible.
They become a completely different person, some even have behavioral distrubances, some with dysphagia- difficulty swallowing and progresses to bedbound and total care status. Mahirap sa family. Imagine your Dad or Mom na or in the case of frontotemporal dementia which affects younger people, imagine your spouse changing right in front of you and wala ka magawa. You cannot even calm them down kung nagwawala sila, anxious, agitated kasi hindi nila alam kung sino ka. Sorry, but seeing dementia patients and what the illness brings, mas okay pa na may cancer or other terminal illness ka, kasi you remain with all your faculties. But dementia, your whole personality, identitiy kinakain ng sakit na yan.
Parehong masakit iyan sa pamilya. Pero mas masakit kapag nakikita mo na ang mahal mo ay gusto pang mabuhay pero wala kayong magawa lahat. Sa dementia ay masakit pa rin sa pamilya pero hindi na alam ng mismong may sakit ang nangyayari sa kanya kaya mas malaki ang chance na hindi na siya nalulungkot na mawawala na siya sa mundo.
Dementia is like…. Imagine, a machine that’s malfunctioning or nagloloko na and doesn’t work like how it used to work anymore, or how it should work. Parang ganon.
May naalala nman cl pero yan yong nangyari noong kabataan pa nila. Pero yong present situation like kung ano kinain nya or naligo na ba cy d na nya alala yon. I know kc nag alga ako sa husband ko. It takes lots of patience and love
Ano bang difference ng Dementia at Alzeihmers? Mas malala ang Dementia? Grabe I am getting old na tlaga, kasi ang tanda na nya at may sakit na rin. Gusto ko kasi ang mga movies nya.
Alzheimer's is a specific disease. Dementia is an "umbrella" term encompassing many types of diseases involving memory loss. Alzheimer's is a type of dementia.
Last year lang sya nag stop gumawa ng movies, marami ako napanuod na movies nya na bago lang but not huge budgeted movies maybe because sa condition nya nahirapan na mag memorize ng lines
Common misconception na memory loss lang ang dementia but it’s broader than that. It also affects your thinking, orientation, comprehension, concentration, recognition,language skills, learning capacity and judgement. Yung deterioration in cognitive function is commonly accompanied by changes in mood, emotional control, behaviour, or motivation. But your consciousness is intact.
For example, alert and conscious pero hindi mo na ma recognise na naiihi ka na or you know you need to go to the bathroom pero hindi mo na alam pano makapunta ng bathroom or how to say you need to go to the bathroom. O kaya naman, you know you need to go to the bathroom and you know how to get there but you’re easily distracted so wala na yung concentration mo sa task mo until you have an accident. Or in pain ka pero Hindi mo maexpress. So magla lash out ka.
Dementia is progressive so symptoms will get worse over time. Yung easy day to day task hindi na Nila kayang gawin. Even food they fail to recognize. People who reach the end stage of dementia are often aphasic, apathetic and immobile (because dementia also affects movement, balance and coordination as well as your perception). I’ve heard people describe it as na parang their loved one is alive but in reality he’s not there anymore. The person slowly disappears kumbaga. In extreme cases, it has been described as very demeaning and very dehumanising pa nga.
True. Yung loved one fades away kahit andyan pa. At thr last stages nag full circle na. Balik na sa pagka baby. Puro tulog, naka diaper, naka tube kumain.
This is not new. I read articles before how he already had his will and most of his estate goes to current wife and their kids (200+ million dollars). Tapos yung 3 adult children niya kay Demi only get 1M USD each lang daw which some are calling unfair.
If its true, I think you can understand naman na malilit pa ang dalawang youngest niya, and his older kids has their own naman saka si Demi my own income din.
This is not true! Bruce and demi are in good relationship co parenting sa bahay pa nga ni demi nag o overnight si Bruce pag late na visit ng anak nila e
I work in a dementia facility and it's the worst disease to ever exist. Yung Lola ko sa Pinas, she started showing signs of dementia in 2021. Ayaw ng relatives ko maniwala but I knew when they told me how her routine changed, she wasn't eating much, and she couldn't remember how to use utensils anymore...I knew it was dementia. Sanay na ako makita sa work yun pero to have it affect my family, iba talaga. Lalo na yung hindi nya na makilala mga apo nya and her most recent "memory" was yung Mom ko in her 20s...which was 40+ years ago. So for her, kami na mga apo nya, we did not exist. She had no memory of us. It's a terrible disease. She passed away last year and some part of me was relieved that she didn't have to suffer anymore, and relief for us din that we didn't have to see her completely lose herself.
I hope Bruce Willis is receiving the best care and I wish his family great strength.
We all should realized dahil s gadgets and memory natin early as that now nagiging shortspan na. Kaya ang mga batang maaga nahi maling s gadget goodluck nalang.
My first ever patient when I moved here in the US has frontotemporal dementia. She died after 2 years.. I will never forget her.. such a sweet grandma..
Ia this type of dementia na parang mag chi change ang behavior para always na misdiagnose na psych problem but dementia pala sya. Correct me if im wrong
Guys thanks sa pag share ng info..kind of bothered lng feel ko lng iam suffering may ibang symptoms na tngin ko nangyyri sa akin(but of course ayaw ko mag conclude especially no diagnosis from the doctor since hndi pa nman ako nagpa check up,what age range ba tinatamaan ng sakit na to?kht ba healthy living ka nmn ttmaan ka ba nto?
Isa lang sasabihin ko, every time may patient kami na may dementia and namatay ng mabilis or maaga, we always say "it's a blessing" dahil hindi na sila mahihirapan. Mas nakakadurog ng puso na makita sila unti-unting nawawalan ng control both of their minds and bodies. Mas malala na makita sila nakaratay at hindi makakain, makapagsalita, nag-waste away na lang, because their minds are long gone and their bodies are finally shutting down. Sobrang sakit makita ang mga dating doctors, nurses, teachers, farmers etc, mga masasabi mo na people who worked hard and who lived full lives, na mauwi sa ganung situation.
I work in a psych and dementia ward and it's more difficult to cater dementia patients, it affects the heir activities of daily living, they forget to eat, they pee and poop sa trousers nila and they can even develop behavioural issues like being violent and sometimes laging nag Kakaron ng fall. They will not recognise you and their families you will just see them crying while visiting their demented relatives. You need loads of patience and understanding when caring for dementia patients. One second they forget everything and you have to repeat orienting them over and over again. Pretty exhausting

DeletePag may dementia ba wala ka lang maalala and you will die peacefully? If that so mej ok pa pala yan compare to cancer.

DeletePero parehong mahirap yan sa mga nagaalaga na pamilya.
DeletePainful yang sakit na yan sa family.
DeleteMemory ang affected
DeleteSuffering and pain from disease as usual

DeleteThank you 11:39 for that insight
DeleteGrabe nagbabasa lang ako sa thread nato nalungkot na ako.
DeleteEto yung sakit ng tita ko and kinamatay nya recently, nakalimutan na nya lumunok, dumumi, umihi, and eventually huminga.

DeleteSo sad. Huge fan and super crush ko siya started during moonlighting days
ReplyDeleteI love that show. Ang lakas ng chemistry nila ni Cybil Sheperd. I knew back then, he'll be a big star one day.
Deletemoonlighting days crush mo siya? napag hahalata ah ahahahaha. nung time na yun nanonood parents ko pero bata pa ako and i'm old now.
DeleteAno bang difference ng Dementia at Alzeihmers? Mas malala ang Dementia? Grabe I am getting old na tlaga, kasi ang tanda na nya at may sakit na rin. Gusto ko kasi ang mga movies nya.
ReplyDeleteAlzheimer's is senile dementia.
DeleteAlzheimer's is a specific disease. Dementia is an "umbrella" term encompassing many types of diseases involving memory loss. Alzheimer's is a type of dementia.
DeleteDementia is umbrella term. Alzheimer’s is a firm of dementia
DeleteThank you for answering mga baks. 856 here. Grabe naloka above, ang hirap pala ng sakit nato.
DeleteAww kaya pala matagal ng wala sa showbiz si Bruce Willis. Nakakasad pag nakakabalita ako ng mga ganito kase auntie ko may ganitong sakit bago namatay.
ReplyDeleteActive sya sa Tiktok but you wouldnt think n may disease n pla sya
DeleteLast year lang sya nag stop gumawa ng movies, marami ako napanuod na movies nya na bago lang but not huge budgeted movies maybe because sa condition nya nahirapan na mag memorize ng lines

Deletetingin mo ba nag gadget si bruce nung bata siya?
DeleteYou sound like my boomer mother. "Kaka selpon mo yan!". Lol.

ReplyDeleteAng mas malala is Joe Biden ay President ng USA.

ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to Bruce and family. Ironic and crushing, the very title of his iconic movie series ang impending doom niya - DIE HARD.
ReplyDeleteI work in a psych and dementia ward and it's more difficult to cater dementia patients, it affects the heir activities of daily living, they forget to eat, they pee and poop sa trousers nila and they can even develop behavioural issues like being violent and sometimes laging nag Kakaron ng fall. They will not recognise you and their families you will just see them crying while visiting their demented relatives.
ReplyDeleteYou need loads of patience and understanding when caring for dementia patients. One second they forget everything and you have to repeat orienting them over and over again. Pretty exhausting
May Bruce receive love and care and his family get strength and comfort.
ReplyDeleteSalamat classmates for the very informative comments.
Ito gusto ko sa fp, if not all, majority ay sensible comments na matututo ka.
