Thank you for this video.
Can you get MCI at the age of 26?
Please be careful with green tea extract and supplements which is known to cause severe side effects such as liver failure etc.
My husband has been showing signs for 5+ years. He's turning 69 in a week. He refuses to acknowledge any issue. I'm so fed up. I wish we could work together on this instead of me becoming a frustrated caretaker.😢
Thank you
I’m in the UK, how do I get tested for the Gene APOE4.
You take too long with unnecessary talking. Get to the point!
Just stop askin da question and remember it you're self
I got a fishy question for you. My mother has MCI, as her MD told me. I shared this with her but she does not accept the diagnosis. I think she has developed anogosnia (denial of disease). Can a MCI patient develop anogosnia like Alzheimer patient or is it only a symptom of Alzheimer disease?
Oh this guy is heartwarming, reminds me of my late dad. Your videoes are realy helpful, take care ^-^
The physician who diagnosed my husband recommended a supplement called Acytle-CH. He said to start low and slow and told us my husband could move up to 10 capsule per day if needed. My husband started out with two capsules and now takes four of them. This supplement has REALLY helped my husband over the past 10-15 years. He also sees a Functional Medicine Physician every six months who has optimized his metabolic system, adding a low dose of thyroid medication, and the vitamins, minerals and supplements that his blood labs show he needed. He walks daily and eats a nutrient rich Ketogenic diet. Progress not perfection.
My 78-year-old husband is in the process of getting diagnosed with a gerentologist. I believe that he has MCI. He can shower, dress and shave himself. He "can" shop and cook (but I don't let him cook when I am gone from our home because he get "into" his phone forgets he has food on the burner and burns the food.) He no longer drives, he can no longer handle the finances or make any major decisions. He gets totally frustrated with anyone on the phone who is trying to help us reset a TV or the Internet. He forget handling any repairs or maintenance.... he just ignores them. UG! This is so frustrating to me! I feel over burdened and I expect and honestly I need his help with these maintenance issues (even if it is to find and hire a contractor) and he refuses to get involved in any way. This is costing us a LOT of money to pay $100.00 an hour for every little repair. He could not pay a bill, or keep to a budget. The biggest example is this; when we downsized from our 5-acre homestead 6 years ago I had to find the realtor and negotiate everything, I had to get the house and property ready to sell. I had to clean, pack, move and find our new condo to move into-handling all the looking/buying/selling work. I had to plan for and price every single item we were selling and/or donated myself. I had to find help, plan for, and manage the two-day Living Estate Sale. ALL he did for that entire year was go through his stuff in his pole barn, price those items and sell them the day of the big sale. IT WAS EXHAUSTING be we needed that money for buying the new condo and for paying those first year taxes. I feel totally alone in the management of our life and on top of this I have run every errand, manage our vehicle, and manage every one of his doctors appointment, tracking his daily blood pressure reading, remind him to shower and clean his bathroom toilet etc as well. And NO WAY would I leave him for a week alone....
Would ceasing to take a bath or shower mean a red flag accompanied wity eating disorders for a patient with a MCI suspicion?
What kind of "support" is there for patients with MCI? From my own research, I have seen little to no "support" for patient with the dreaded ALZ. I formerly live in a rural township in Michigan that did not pay into any kind of pool for senior services. Therefore there were no services for people with ALZ. I was told upon inquiring, "There are no services for people with cognitive decline IF there is a spouse in the home that can drive the person to their doctors appointment, cook, make sure they take their medication etc." That was me. I had not been able to leave my husband alone for more than four years at that point and I DESPERATELY NEEDED RESPITE!I have my own health issues and taking care of my own special dietary needs and rest/sleep needs, my own doctors appointment etc is a full time job for me How can I also care for my husband full time as well? My only choice was to put our home up for sale, move to another town that has a senior center with lunches, exercise classes and a chance for socialization. This move cost us a LOT of money as well as taking on a new 30-year mortgage since this is a MUCH MORE expensive community to live in in order to be able to offer things like this senior center, a hospital, and to be able to attract the level of physicians needed to help this people with this condition. Our property taxes doubled, we had to move from a mortgage free home to q condo with a 30 year $1,300 a month mortgage and our costs of living skyrocketed as a result. I still don't have help in our home but I can get away to the local senior center for a few hours for respite, conversation and a $5.00 salad lunch. We do have a good library and a great health food store in this community which helps me and my driving time has been cut in half for all of the necessities I need in our life.
I'm not sure there is "normal memory loss"? We need to normalize that there should be no NORMAL memory loss IF we use preventative measure. These are measures like eating a nutrient-rich (non inflammatory foods) "Food Therapy, " supplementing with the vitamins, minerals, micronutrients that our body and brain need. Add to that "recipe" exercise, making sure your underlying health issues are being treated. EXAMPLE: Yesterday I was sitting on the kitchen floor wiping up the food on the tile along the edge of the kitchen runner. I asked my 78-year-old husband to please being me the sweeper. He first brought me the Swifter tool. I said, no "THE SWEEPER. He then brought me the kitchen broom." I said no, not the broom the sweeper....then I said the vacuum and he finally got it. He could not process that the sweeper meant the vacuum sweeper. This is his MCI.
Interesting
Wow! This guy disappeared. I wonder if something happened?

Fighting cravings. Havent drank in a year. And money is hidden from me. Bc everytime i have some. Ill go buy, some. Its aggravating im being watched all the time, but its bc they care
This guy talks too much
That lip hair is revolting.
My wife is diagnosed with MCI. She will repeat questions many times on a day. I learned to answer them multiple times even though they are written on a calendar. As the days pass by, her frustration boils over on to me. You learn fast to not react because communicating ends.
One day I started to drive to my daughter's house, 2 miles away. After driving 1/2 mile, I realized that I had forgotten the way there. I then used the sat-nav. I went to my Doctor. After a few tests I was diagnosed with MCI.
Thank you for your videos! I find them to be sincere and helpful.
Are there any visual symptoms of MCI?
God bless!
Hope you are well! I see no new videos lately.
I took a supplement that caused diarrhea and was hit with symptoms of severe dehydration and went into shock. I thought the supplement had done something to me and so did not correct the dehydration straight away. It turned into CHRONIC dehydration and took me over 18 months to correct. It didn't matter how much water and electrolytes I consumed, there was no short term impact. The brain fog and 100 other symptoms is absolutely NO JOKE when chronic. I even had the symptom of doom and gloom. I received no help to correct it because western doctors say chronic dehydration is not a real thing because they only look at the blood instead of the cell and I beg to differ. Absolutely terrible.....
Very well done! You are a gem!
outstanding video
CHECKLIST ???
The link to get the checklist does not work CHECKLIST ?????
Another money spinner. Doctors learned very little since graduation
Excellent video - thank you.
Get to the point. 3 minutes to finally get to an explanation.
Relax
The fact that it’s called “mild” cognitive impairment just gives the impression that it’s really not a big deal. That’s really frustrating when I find myself getting confused about things like how to use my cell phone. That doesn’t feel mild to me. It feels scary and awkward and belittling. I really wish we could call it something else.
Im 17 & having memory loss & difficulty in thinking since just 2 months.. im a healthy boy preparing for exam.. My vitamin B12 is 193 pg/ml & not exposed to sunlight since 6 months.. is this due to this ??
Great way to explain it. My husband was diagnosed with MCI 3 years ago, but even at that time, it was anything but 'mild'. I recently went away for a week to care for an ill loved one, but I left feeling much trepidation. I came home to a house that was neglected, very dirty, trash cans overflowing, an empty refrigerator, clothes strewn everywhere. I intentionally timed my trip so that I could get the bills paid and mailed out because I knew he either couldn't do it or wouldn't remember to do it. And to be honest, I was very anxious while I was gone; anxious that he would leave a door open and our little dog would get out and end up lost in the woods behind us. This was a turning point for me. I realized that I can not leave him again. A very sad reality, an end of an era for us. Even though everyone around me down plays the changes in my husband, this video confirms for me what I already knew was happening.

thank you for explaining this so well, couldn’t have had a better explanation! thanks a lot!
Less pills to take, the better you will be. At 91 years old with heart problems, I take only 3 prescribed pills, Losatan for my cholesterol, Xralto for blood thinning and metoprolol uccinate for blood pressure and heart beat. I still have my cognitive ability, but my short term memory is not as good as I want it to be. All in all, T think that I an dong great. I can still drive better than most.
Among other things: i started 6 months ago having more mornings when fixing my coffee (same process for last 2 years), i could not recall if i put in sugar or my miralax . when i sat down to drink it then i would know if i forgot the sugar. My wife got me a large pill dispenser because i was missing my medications as i could not recall if i took them etc etc. Now i am having trouble during the day some times of forgetting to go to the pill dispenser to check it. I began having motor symptoms, memory and processing problems in early 2019. Just diagnosed with MCI on top of other things. I have learned many of these symptoms overlap into various definitions, if it does not meet the medical definition the neurologist will not make the call. The testing neurologist said something else is going on as my 3rd test showed worsening symptoms. This is not fun. Thanks for video.
I have one question do you give the same test every time or it is different test ? Do you prepare for the test as you can find online every test ? How old were u when u got diagnosed??
@@walidsarwary I just turned 61 yrs old this summer. MCI was just diagnosed 2 months ago, functional parkinsonism 2 years ago, various motor, eye & swallowing problems 3 years ago. The neuropsychological testing is fairly standard in the industry, they may or may not include an additional test including motor capabilities of your arms and hands. The tests you will not find online and are very complex audio-visual tests requiring a human subject (you) and a trained experienced neurologist who specializes in this field. The more experienced they are the better. Such Drs see multiple patients per day so they see and learn a lot from observation as well. I have been tested 3 times each 18-24 months apart which allows them a good gauge to compare with. They even have built in measures to tell if patients are trying to fake their symptoms (why someone would try to fake their symptoms is a whole other subject). I do not see how you can prepare for such a test. I would advise against trying to "study" for such a test as you are trying to capture your average responses for comparison to other people with similar or diagnosed diseases, that's how they get an idea of what if any disease you may have.
Its peeing so much I hate
What's MCT?
I struggle with it from time to time. Vids like this help me stay dry.
For allergies, take QUERCETIN.
This strikes me as click-bait. Vague statements that certain categories of drugs MIGHT lead to some type of dementia tells me nothing useful. You've basically listed a wide swath of medicines and offered no proof or credible studies as to which specific medications, if any are at high risk. And what those risks are likely to be. Please state facts and not just throw out suppositions geared to just alarming people.
Found the pill doctor.
MCI
Do the MRIs of a person with MCI often have white hyperintensities?
