That article discusses the AD person's emotions and how they feel about the disease. Unfortunately, the disease has interfered with my husband's ability to adequately express how he feels about the disease. All he ever says is, "It sucks." Which has to be true, but not very explanatory. No matter how I try to get him to express his emotions, he struggles and always comes back to, "It sucks." I am always in awe of AD people who are acutely aware of their symptoms and how to express their feelings about them.

When DH got his diagnosis of AD five years ago, I asked him how he felt about it. He said, I still feel the same as before. Now I think he feels okay about it, thinks he is fine, but realizes there is a lot he cannot do.
My hb has never beenn one to share his feelings. Whenever I would ask he said very little. That still has not changed. He has shown more emotions though and that usually has to do with not being able to remember how to do things.
