he seems to have more energy than i have.
Because he is being well looked after. Try to look after yourself as well as you are looking after him
he seems to have more energy than i have.

thank you for your reply. that post was posted 2 years ago at least now. hes had memantine for 2 years and is a whole lot calmer and easier. he still has his moments but they are few and far between now.My husband became physically aggressive. His strength was incredible - I was very frightened and called police who were very understanding but couldn't do much except file reports to GP etc. On fourth occasion (on holiday in Scotland) he was trying to strangle me and did throw me down the stairs. Police arrived and said that I was in too much danger and they took him to nearest MH facility. Shocked at how quickly it happened! But now, six months down the line - I have realised that I left it too late to get help. He is still in MH facility (at home) and has further deteriorated - he is now having 24 hour care and being kept in isolation. Sounds horrendous BUT he is safe and so am I. Point of my post - we must be realistic that a time may come when we have to let professionals take over the care. We might want to keep them at home - but not always best for patient or the carer.
Searched for test thread, thought I'd found it .Slip of the finger Nitram?

its even worse when my diet is limited to no fruit or veg, brown anything or fibre in breakfast because of my IBSWell done, I know it’s really difficult to do especially when caring so fantastic!
Top news about your test but sorry that your ear is now gookythought i would share some good news for a change. my diabetic blood test shows that i have gone from 105 to 77 and the nurse phoned me up to congratulate me. ive worked so hard with the insulin and im proud of myself to get this far. then the doctor came and i have an ear infection so anti-bio drops. it is swollen so not able to hear so well. at least i have an excuse to ignore him.
every other week, i seem to catch something. they did ask me to go to the surgery twice but im housebound so cant go to the surgery. its in my notes that they havent read.Top news about your test but sorry that your ear is now gookyThat along with toothache are the absolute worst... hope it settles down soon 🤞
yes we are ok, just me not winding down and stretching my time.
