Is it bad that I’m pretty sad about my mom that got diagnosed it’s Dementia (memory loss)? [I Have a Relative With Dementia]

I heard about it but don’t know much about Dementia. One of my aunts told me the doctors dianosed my mom 24/7 care. My cousin said my mom loves us always which of course it’s true always but just don’t get upset if she doesn’t remember. It will take some time to get used to. I know she was a great mom to us growing up. Good news is she’s okay and she is getting care and on medication.
My brother and my love for mom will never change. Planning to visit mom again soon. It just hurts that my mom has memory loss but gotta stay positive. She's 61 going on 62. Love you Mommy 💖
She lives in another state but so blessed that my relatives did what they can to help her.
Please tell me how your mom is doing now.
@LadyGrace She’s doing okay. She’s been taking her meds.
@CraftyMarieArts Well, I had to find something for my friend who has dementia bad. I'm going to get her this remedy. I thought it might help your mom, too. I believe it solves the problem, not just treats the symptoms. Testimonies from real people:

My mother started taking Niacinamide 500mg twice daily for Alzheimer's and realized immediate improvement with her memory and cognitive functioning. We could see a dramatic improvement with the first dose, and continued improvement with each successive dose. Over the course of a week or so, she is functioning at close to 100%. If you have a loved one with Alzheimer's, please try this remedy.

My mother asked me to post another message about what the past few months have been like (since she started on the niacinamide). She said that it was like having windows suddenly flung open, like she could suddenly see things again that had been hidden from her.

Niacinamide worked for my mother's dementia. The dosage was time-release 1500 mg twice a day (breakfast and bedtime).

She went from asking the same question every 60 seconds (for example, she would ask where my father was, we'd answer that he was in the hospital, then seconds later she'd ask again) and being unable to take a shower because she couldn't remember how to do it, to being 100% her old normal self pre-dementia.

She can now shower and dress herself and apply her own make-up. She is back to cooking my parents' meals. She keeps the house clean. She remembers answers to questions. She is able to participate in conversations. She remembers events of the past few years that she had completely lost. She knows what year it is. She knows her age and my father's age.

Also, she had gotten very erratic emotionally. Now she's got her old personality back.

She got it all back.

She had no trouble with side effects.

We've been tapering down her dosage to see how she handles it. Right now she's on 1000 mg time release 2x a day, and so far so good.

I forgot to mention that it took just under four months for us to see what seemed to be a full cure, but we started to notice improvement even after a few days.

For example, my mother was able to remember that my father was in the hospital after about three days on niacinamide. She was able to remember how to shower after about a week and a half, but she still forgot where the soap was. She was able to remember where the soap was a few days later.

She was able to remember to feed the dogs (and what to feed them) after about three weeks. It took almost a month for her to remember what year it was and her age.
@LadyGrace Wow that’s great! I’ll have to suggest that for my mom. Thank you.

I don't think it's bad, no. Her memory loss might make it difficult to interact with her going forward. Regardless of what you know cognitively, it may be emotionally painful if she doesn't immediately remember who you are. And she's likely to be confused often from now on. While you can work through it, I think it makes sense to be upset about this.

It's not bad to be sad about it. The situation is pretty bad. So sorry for you and your mother. 😞
