My husband was diagnosed in 2019 but looking back signs were there many years. He also is registered partially sighted. To him he is ok everybody else is wrong. This attitude helps no one and does not achieve good visits with professionals who are trying to advise/help. We go to 1 group a month because he does not need to socialise with as he sees it ‘these people’ and gets quite angry when the ‘Dementia’ word crops up in conversation/tv. Over the last 2 weeks things have really gone downhill problems with using toilet during the night so now pees in bucket which I quickly empty before it gets knocked over, problems with constipation (I treat as directed by GP) but he does not agree; no obvious signs that he is having any difficulty with either waterworks/bowel. Sight has deteriorated but not to him and he now struggles to make a drink without knocking it over himself or all over the floor and blames me for causing the problems that he is experiencing. Now unable to hold a meaningful conversation and gets frustrated as he cannot explain himself, which is very sad. He takes Memantine and vitamins. I find that I have coped very well with things that I initially thought I would be unable to deal with but I now find myself lacking empathy as I seem to be unable to do anything right, I constantly cry and have to vanish to try and hide my feelings, am constantly tired and feeling down with no one to talk to about how I feel or how to ease the situation, which I know will only get worse. I have read and do try to be patient about being compassionate and not arguing but there are times when, for your own sanity, you have to make a stance and suffer the consequences which always appear within a few hours. I read the comments on here of various problems and admire you all for how you cope and send you wonderful people virtual hugs as it is true unless you have experienced this cruel disease you never can really understand what it is like. Thank you for listening to my vent and bless you all.
