      My husband first started to show symtoms about three years ago, at first I thought nothing of it, but it has over these three years gotten increasingly worse, I finally made hime go to the Doctors a year ago, to which we had to attend the hospital, they have now told us that hes is suffering with dementia, I find he has some good days but others are really bad, we seem to hold conversations which I have nt got a clue what hes is talking about, he loses himself and I have to go and find him, some days he doesn't get out of bed or shower, and he has always been such a clean tidy man, unfortunately I have to work full time and it is very difficult with him at home on his own.
