Hi everybody,
My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about three years ago. I got her to see a specialist when became aware that she was losing her mental map of her surroundings. Not the immediate locale but when driving about and out of town. She now needs me to guide her at every junction, traffic light and roundabout and can't leave home without me. Other than that, her driving is very good.
I have MS and I am unable to drive.
Recently she has been going to bed all the way through the day. She'll lie down for 20 minutes and get up. Half an hour she'll do it all over again.
Is this part of her dementia? Or should I mention it to our GP?
Thank you in advance for any replies.
Anthony
