You may forget people’s names but remember their faces. Your sleep patterns may change. You may experience incontinence. You may wander and become lost. In stage seven you have a very severe cognitive decline.
A few examples on what could have an effect are: * Physical health: feeling unwell with a fever leads to tiredness and can make you unable to do usual daily activities. * Learning disabilities: someone with a learning disability may take longer to learn an everyday skill. * Mental health:
Many people tend to lose weight when their disease is active. Some people also experience periods of hair loss, either in patches or spread evenly over the head. Usually the hair loss is not permanent. A person eventually develop swollen glands during a flare as well. If you have lupus it is normal to feel sad and down sometimes.
Some people also develop mood swings and can suffer with clinical depression as time goes on. The symptoms of M.E can come and go in severity throughout the day, with people often saying they are having a good day or a bad day. Although the term good day is used in a relative sense. M.E nearly always results in a person’s inability to cope with all aspects of daily
Mitchell Heyne Composition 2 January 7, 2014 Unit 3 Assignment 1 Summary Response Paper “Wow, this isn’t a bad article” I said to myself as I was reading “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” The point of this article is that people are losing the ability to concentrate for long periods of time, especially if they have no interest in the subject. Some people see this as a mental disorder, however, this is due to people trying to look for a quick fix and not doing the thorough research. I will agree that the way people are thinking is indeed changing, some for the good, but most for the bad as well. Search engines are rerouting our memory. According to one article in Science magazine, we're not necessarily losing our ability to remember things.
This shows how doctors and scientists never informed Henrietta about anything about her treatment, in the only hospital that would take her, Johns Hopkins. No matter how rich or poor you are, or what color your skin is, everyone has a right to informed consent, and no one’s dignity should ever be breached. (2) Dale Keiger, editor of Johns Hopkins Magazine in his article “Immortal Cells, Enduring Issues” argues that the goal of doctors and scientists is to do good, not to intentionally breach patients’ privacy, but it does happen because it is a complicated situation. Keiger argues that while privacy shouldn’t be violated, it is never easy to understand. His main purpose in this essay is for people to not be so hard on the doctors, because it’s a very complicated process.
Response Paper #1 “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Passage Selection The first passage I chose that helped me better understand the reading was the line: “If I tried to get away with it, then other people would try to get away with it – and pretty soon we’d be right back to the dark ages again, with everybody competing against everybody else.” It gives you the idea that what we now see in our modern society would have been almost completely incomprehensible to far past centuries. It also makes you wonder if the common desire for equality that we now strive for to make things equal for everyone can be taken too far. The second passage that I felt was important to me was: “Gee- I could tell that one was a doozy,” ”You can say that again.” ”Gee- I could tell that one was a doozy.” This selection was important to me because it gave me a better understanding of the situation. The previous events in the literature were very drastic and sad.
So many times I have tried to leave this world. The same feeling comes back, it makes me realize that I don't want this. This dreadful feeling is hard to fathom. Day by day it gets worse. I am trying to understand it.
I have often thought that it would be so much easier to just end it all rather than deal with the sometimes overwhelming anxiety that associates to the abuse. There are days that I have woken up and actually contemplated taking my own life. I do not, I know what that does to the people left to deal with the loss. Men are known to commit suicide more often than women, (Mironova, Rhodes, Bethell, Tonmyr, Boyle, Wekerle, & Leslie, ) (2011) (p1). There seems to be no known cause for this at this time and more research is required to determine the exact reason for this.
My life would be a lot more difficult because I would be in a state of constant confusion and it would be very scary to live life without remembering. A life with Alzheimer’s is definitely not easy, especially when you are showing early signs of it and you understand what is happening to you, it can be extremely hard to deal with. I would be devastated and my life would be increasingly harder to live. I would not be able to tell my grandkids stories from my past or help my own children when they need it, I would not be able to cook dinner for my husband or even hold a conversation with him without forgetting who he is or where I am. My life would be completely different from how it is now.
