To begin I read around the forum: on care homes; paranoia & high scoring MMSE results, & denial of diagnosis and I've found others are going through identical problems in entirely different circumstances. Already I feel I have answers to the many many questions that challenge me daily.
I have gone round in circles trying to do the right thing for my mum. Dementia has meant entering a different world, one where the old realities are lost.
My mum was an independent free thinker fascinated by the world, lots of interests especially self education (Did GCSEs when 80 - probably in early stages of Alz) is now in a care home accusing them of stealing & victimisation. At times she is so distressed that the pain is almost unbearable.
The Alz Soc has been a lifeline.
