hello again
My Mums vascular dementia is ramping along at a rate of knots. I’ve already had her thinking I’m my aunt, she can no longer function without help ie she can’t use a phone, her neighbours have found her in the garden being unsure of where she was. Anyway, her anxiety seems to crippling, she talks of this sensation in her tummy all the time. I’ve spoken with her CPN who has suggested memantine...I naively thought this was solely for Alzheimer’s? Does anyone have experience of this, they’ve said the side effects are a higher risk of falls and my Mum is already like bambi! Any advice would be greatly appreciated
