My mom has been complaining about seeing large insects on the wall of her bedroom middle of the night. She says they disappear when she wants to take a picture of them. Has anyone had this issue? I know there’s more to come.:/ My sweet lady is 85.
Ugh it’s really scary to watch those hallucinations. That was the worst. Have her tested for a UTI and dehydration. Mom used to see flowers on the carpet and would try to pick them when she had a UTI. You can do a home AZO text from the drugstore as a quick check, then call her doctor.
My mom who's has dementia had this same problem. This is when I discovered this awesome forum and asked this same question, all answers were she needed to be tested for UTI so I took her to her doctor, Lab work was done and she did have a UTI. Doc prescribed antibiotics and no more seeing bugs. Happy New Year everyone. Hope you get the same results.
True, I also thought of that. We checked eyes about a month ago though. Mom is diabetic So we go to eye dr regularly. She explains about them coming in and out of a little hole that disappears afterwards!,
This is not uncommon in some disease, like Parkinsons or as a side effect of meds. What are her underlying health conditions? Talk to her.doctor. If they don't alarm her it is no big deal.
I sure hope so. We are going to her general Dr in 3 days. Mom has no mental health issues but diabetes, and bad kidneys. Her high blood pressure n cholesterol are controlled with meds.
Dehydration, UTI as suggested could also be the problem.
