I find also that is just as easy to go along with whatever story she is teeling, even it is fabricated a little. When you attempt to correct them, it only makes them more aggravated, and the situation worse, because in their mind it is what it is!!! My mom just on last night had an episode that she has not had before since she was diagnosed with "Alzheimers" almost 6 years ago. I was in the computer room, and I heard some moaning off and on, then she yelled out for me. When I went to see about her, she was just shaking tremendously. I was scared, because I had never experienced this, but I didn't let on to her. She was shaking like she was butt naked out in the cold in Siberia!!!!! Not knowing what exactly to do, I just started talking to her, and holding her, so that she could be reassured that I was there, and that nothing was going tohappen to her. She was so scared until she could not even walk to the bathroom. I remember I had those "ATIVAN" tablets from the doctor, so I put one of those under her tongue. We eventually made it back to lying down in bed, and I just laid witrh her, and cuddled her like a baby until her nerves calmed down. I would appreciate any insight into this matter, if anyone has experienced this. I've decided if it happens again, that I will immediately get her in to her Neurologist. "THANKS" family!!!!
