My mom has days of almost claritiy. She is almost "normal". Meaning, back to herself prior to the dementia. Most days mom is confused about everything. I have been noticing increased confusion lately, making her almost impossible to talk to and take care off. On these days I do 100% of everything for her, she is unable to dress herself, difficulty eating, and trouble communicating, just to name a few. However, periodically(twice this week) she just snapped out of it. She was very lucid, no signs of confussion, her bathroom habits came back, she was able to show emotion appropriately, bath herself, do simple tasks,and she slept all nite like 10hrs(she hasn't slept more than 3-4 hours/day in 8-10months). etc.. There has been no medicine change!
Has this happened to anyone else? Is it the "calm before the storm" so to say?
always whiney and whine and some days oh thats my dad hes back !! it was good to see him back but then next day he s all actin like a child waaa waaaa .
sleeping pills doesnt work for dad , but xannax does help him relax and calm down .
this is normal , no meds will fix that , may want to ask the dr for ur moms nerves , xannax helps dad to calm down . this mornin at 4 am he was whiney i got him cleaned up and told him its 4 in the morning , he said ohh i need get ready for work ! told him ill fix him bfast cuz i knw he ll go back to sleep , and it did and he is still whiney , i put him in bed again . if he still whiney i may give him xannax , i dont like to do that but will do it if he s realy bad whiney .
good luck with your mom as i am with dad .
