Hi, not done this before but as I am sitting in my mums lounge at 4.35am I was curious as to how many other people are going through what my family are at this moment in time? It's all the usual...some members of the family care more than others...mum was diagnosed 7 years ago, dad died 6 years ago and ever since my mum has never been alone, we did the wrong thing of being here constantly too early in my mums dementia, now things are proving to be much harder, mum doesn't know night time from day time she prefers to sleep in a chair due to bad circulation to her feet..her legs ache all the time..she has blocked aorta's to both legs blood is finding it's way to her feet but not well enough, so she does a lot of night time moaning, I have a brother who lives at mums due to circumstances...but he drives arctic trucks and needs to have his sleep, he has been dealing with mums waking at night, but it's taken it's toll and tonight he couldn't take anymore, rang me at two and here I am. mum sleeping now and again in her chair and moaning constantly saying "oh god!" what I would like to know is...do you think the doctor will gives us sleeping tablets for mum? has anyone else had this kind of problem? how did they deal with it? I have a feeling I have placed this in the wrong place!!
