Sadly she doesn`t trust you Nipper because she doesn`t know you when she is in sundowning mode.

You do need help. Help won`t come unless you ask for it so you really must ask. If you become ill...

I did manage to unpack my husband`s bags when he was asleep so they didn`t build up. Luckily he had forgotten about them by the morning .
Is there any chance you can do this? Can you put your...

The first thing which came to my mind LYN was medication. Have there been any changes?

Good morning Pied. xx

I love the plant Jeany . What a gorgeous colour. :)

I`m sorry LYN and Sally Potter unwanted equipment cannot be donated or sold via TP.

Terms and conditions say

Carer`s stress Jeany. :(

I hate it. These tasks are so unpleasant and upsetting, it`s no wonder we put them off.

All credit to you matts for coming here to help yourself and to help others.

It is late in the day to get many responses but I do hope you get more replies tomorrow.

Take care

I really cannot say anything to make life better for you, I`m just so dreadfully sorry you have been affected by such a serious illness at such a young age.

There is a factsheet for younger...

I told my husband he had Alzheimer`s a few months after diagnosis when he asked me what was wrong with him.

We had both experienced dementia previously in my mother and he had shared the caring...

How awful for you Salli. I do hope your mum settles.

It makes me cross too when homes registered for dementia are selective.

I agree too CG.
There is nothing to be gained from having a very upset daughter.

Your experience is almost a carbon copy of mine with Dhiren.

Every evening he went out looking for his real wife and his real family. He didn`t want me to sleep with him because `I`m a married...

Oh if only we knew .

My husband`s moods and behaviours used to change as if lights had been switched on or off.

The only constant was an increase in confusion if he was overtired or had had a...

Our consultant told me to make sure the room was well lit at all times. The lights are on at Dhiren`s home day and night.

The downside is one resident who believes it is her own home, complains...

I hope your mum is peaceful today Pied.

I`m sorry you are in so much pain but have no idea what to suggest to help you. If it happens again can I suggest you phone 111 [the new number to replace NHS Direct].

Welcome from me too.

Good advice from Rob. You cannot really expect anything because everyone is different and some people make a slow progression while others` are more rapid. There are so many...

IT sounds as if you have more than you can cope with and I suggest you ask for a Community Care Assessment from Social Services which will assess how much help is available to you.

Even if there are no Admiral Nurses in your area you can talk to one by phone. I found them most helpful and very understanding in the past.

Sorry Folks. I`m closing this Thread as there is nothing to be gained from the arguments taking place.

I`m really sorry Scarlett but my heart rate increased reading about your neighbour.

I am as guilty as anyone for `losing it` at times and know the world is not full of angels or saints, but your...

I hope your mum continues to sleep peacefully Pied and will not be in need of a driver. xx

TP is not about `telling people off`, it`s about support . For most of the time, it does what it says on the box, but occasionally it sends mixed messages which cause confusion.

Humour, during...
