The person you care for no longer is interested in recreational and leisure activities that they used to enjoy. This may be because they now find the activity to be difficult and tiring, which can create feelings of frustration or anger when participating in the activity. Additionally, memory impairments associated with the disease can also make it difficult for the person you care for to start or complete an activity. They may get distracted and forget what they were doing mid way through the activity, or they may forget where the supplies are for the activity and will not initiate the activity. For example, they may forget where they have put the needles and yarn for knitting, and require prompting to begin.

 

In todays busy world, keeping track of symptoms can be a challenge to say the least. That is why we've developed SymptomGuideTM. By taking a more active role, you can better understand how a symptom is affecting everyday life and you can communicate this knowledge with others involved.
