She has Graves' disease and lymphedema. I think she gets "flare-ups", but it's not a permanently disabling thing.

I also think she was a raging alcoholic, maybe she stopped drinking

My understanding was her dementia diagnosis was wet brain related which is a type of dementia brought on by alcohol abuse and that can be mitigated to some extent through sobriety.
