My mother in law was diagnosed last year with Alzheimers. This last week she has taken to throwing things away medication, money tearing up photographs of her only son my husband and her husband who saddly passed away some years ago. She throws food away also. I have to go see her twice a day to check what she is throwing away. Her hygene is not good and i clean for her on a Monday. It,s so hard as i,m sure it is for all of you. I have a family and i work. Not sure what to do . We had a visit from social services early this year who sad she was low risk and had good eye contact!!!!!. Her house was clean then. She is much worse although she takes Aricept which i feel has not helped her at all, she was on patches but kept taking them off. Just a bit lost and myself and her son are not sure what we can do or who to contact.

    Hello Michelle

    Welcome to Talking Point (TP) .

    I just noticed that you are a new member and made your first entry in a blog, which is great.

    The blog area doesn't get as many views as the main support forum, so if you do want to 'introduce yourself' to other members, you may want to make a posting in the main forum area.

    To get to the support area, click this link:

    http://forum.alzheimers.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=25

    and then click on the ‘+Post new thread’ button in grey (this turns green when you hover your mouse over it):

    Hope this helps! If you have any other questions about how to use Talking Point, you may also find it useful to take a look at our Help Videos.

    Best wishes
