That sounds quite negative with regards to meds it’s all trial and error all you can do is try there is no guarantee with anything but you don’t stop trying.
Anna you are so overwhelmed with this and rightly so.
I am so shocked that the help differs so greatly. In my opinion, Alzheimer's drugs can work to slow the disease down and in my Mums case they needed to try a few things to get what worked. Luckily for us, we had really good support here in East Lothian where I live.
My understanding is though, that the drugs will only work well in the early stages and if someone has progressed too far then they are not as helpful?
Mum was diagnosed Jan 2013 and so we lived for a few years with a relatively high quality of life - just the past two years when thigns got really bad and she is now in a nursing home since March this year.
I wish you well on your journey.... it's not easy but support and help are here for you. I've cried more tears than an ocean. Big hug.
@Anna TSounds like you thankfully got the support your mum deserved @Jintyf and yes crying oceans is a daily thing.
Sorry your mum had to eventually go into a nursing home it must the the most anguishing part of the journey ? - the thought of that possibility keeps me awake at night literally..
How was it/ is it for you emotionally? and how had your mum settled in? x
