Hi Kassy,

I don't post on here very often but have read your posts. Good to hear you are feeling more positive. How is the "new" job going? My mum died in Jan - it was very quick in the end. I...

My mum died in Jan too and I haven't really cried yet. I'm not bottling it up just don't feel like it. That's not to say I don't feel sad - I can't explain it. I get on well with my mum and helped...

My Mum sadly passed away on Jan 23rd after a 6 yr battle with alzheimers. She was only 67. She had a little stumble just after Xmas and then was simply not interested in eating or drinking. I do not...

Hi All,

Wondering if you could tell me your thoughts on this as I'm a tad "confused!" Don't really know how I feel!

A bit of background - My dad has been looking after my Mum(who is 65)for the...

Yes I wondered if I had neglected him but I don't honestly think so and he didn't too. I go to my parents on a Weds afternoon for an hr and a half and then for a few hrs on a Sat or Sun and I don't...

Hi All,

Whilst this is not wholly linked to my 65 yr old Mum, other things going on in your life (as many of you know) make it worse. My Mum has had alzheimers for over 5 yrs.She is in the...

Many thanks for everyone for posting back so quickly. There have been some useful replies. I am seeing my dad later so I will pass it all on...

Me again! My dad is finding it increasingly difficult to bath my mum. She hates the shower (as many here seem too) and physically is able to step into the bath but due to her alzheimers this is...

Hi All, my mum is going into respite for the first time the weekend after next. First to the day centre as norm on the Fri than over the road to the home, back to the day centre on the Mon to be...

Not sure if I have put this in the right place but here goes ...

As I have posted on here before my mum (65 with alzheimers) doesn't go to poo properly! Rarely anything in the toilet, just mucky...

Hi anneweath,

My Mum is 66, diagnosed with Alzheimers 5 years ago, I'm now 37. My dad looks after her full-time, I go round twice a week (as I work and have a family)and she has recently started...

Can't spell it but u know what I mean! My Mum has been on them for 2 yrs+. She was diagnosed at 60, 64 now. She was v tearful, anxious, following my dad around, alweays wanting to go out, couldn't...

Hi Karen,

U got thru it! It must have been hard and a bit of an eye opener. Hopefully now your dad will ask for outside help. There is only so much one person can do/cope with. It sounds like she...

My Mum was an acholoic (can't spell it) for 5-10yrs? My Mum told me when I was 16, I had no idea but believed her when she said it made her feel ill. Not sure really how it started when her dad hung...

Individuals with early onset seem to have a MUCH quicker progression that someone 70 plus don't u think? Sometimes I hate to admit but I wish it was all over for my dad, mum and myself ...

Hi All,

Has anyone got any ideas for what I could get my Mum for Mothers Day apart from flowers or chocs??! I am sure many of us will be stumped by this!

Although my Mum is mobile, she is...

Hi all,

As mentioned couple wks ago my mum was leaking poo q a lot. She was impacted. She has had about 6 suppositries with a bit of success. The nurse then told my dad to increase the Movicol to...

Thanks Heather,

Yes it is a bit of a problem with my Mum. Has been for a while - lack of excercise (as she cannot walk v far now) and small meals.
Someone else on here has suggested the same and...

I am new on here and would like any suggestions to the above problem. But I will start with a little of the background...
