My husband had alzheimers dementia for 14 years. For over a year he thought I was poisoning him, which hurt at the time. I took him many times to the hospital because of this, & he had many blood tests. Nothing was ever found. I looked after him for 14 years, till the last three weeks when he had to go into a nursing home. He went into hospital after the 3 weeks.
I just want to ask people who are caring for someone with dementia of any kind, that if your loved one does think you are poisoning them, insist scans are taken of their body.
Although my husband had these conditions, it was not until 19 hours before he died that we were told he had cancers throughout his whole body. Tummy, liver, pancreas and brain. I feel that because he had alzhiemers dementia, everything else was just put down to that, and we were fobbed off
Obviously it was no wonder he thought I was poisoning him with all the pain he was in without morphine till 19 hours before he died
Anyway, this is just a thought and I am putting it out there
