(not so sure if this belongs here)
hi guys, i've decided to post (vent) about something that has been eating me up inside for years now.
my grandmother raised me, most of my life. i moved out of home at 15, when she was sent to a nursing home, due to there being no one to take care of her (she has very severe alzheimers now). | Alzheimers
My Mom has had Alzheimers since 1996. She has forgotten how to cough, and has alot of phlegm in her chest right now. I am inducing coughing by inserting my finger down her throat and pressing down on her stomach, but it is only providing limited amounts of coughing and phlegm release. | my mother's suspicious behavior is alzheimers?
My mother is 71 and believed that my brother was stealing from her. I know that he did not and she probably misplaced things as per normal. Then she said my sister stole something and most recently she thinks my father is forging checks in her name. None of this is happening. | Can anyone tell me their story of how Alzheimer's or Dementia affected your parents?
Don't really want to say much, but I believe my father is in the early stages of Alzheimer's or Dementia. He has become very violent and forgetful. My family doctor asked him the protocol questions to find out if he has any symptoms. Unfortunately he did and prescribed him some medication to see if my dad would get better. |
