I am so worried about my mum who is in a specialist dementia Home. She has been calling out and making high pitched whining noises for over a year now. These episodes are best described as hysteria and more recently have been going on for up to 14 hours at a time. I have brought her to her house, my house with me, family members even the 15 month old great grandchild as she loves children but nothing helps. If you ask her to stop she often looks surprised and says what do you mean? Or Eh? Most of the time she is incoherent so we don't know what's wrong. She was taking to the door yesterday.. Nothing consoles her for long and it's aa if she doesn't know she us doing its she us very upset when I transfer her to the car or try and get her to the loo but that I can understand. She says she is frightened, help me, i have no money. She immediately stops when the consultant from the CMHT visit or in the presence of her GP so they don't see it but I have recorded it. She is extremely fussy about eating, can't feed herself, properly, no cutlery, and clamps her mouth firmly shut when they try to give her meds and also food. We are about to try the third med pregablin prescribed by CMHT but two GPS have been quite quizzical at this.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I can't do as much as I wish as my brother who has learning disability is terminally ill and I must spend time which him - he hss no one else but me and we are close
