Hi Magarita
Thanks for asking.
I visited Mum to-day and she was sleeping most of the time, or rather, her eyes were closed, but she was still trying to get her clothes of, ocassionally geting up and "walking".
She is now very shaky and has to hold on to things for support.
The staff say she wasn't in bed all night, despite Temazepam and they are now going to try another drug. Zopiclone??
Her Parkinson like symptoms, I am sure are the side effects of haleperidol.The stooped posture and tremors only started after the drug was prescibed, but of course, the professionals won't admit this.
I think, although I can't be sure, that the move has been detrimental, but hopefully she will settle.
The new consultant is saying it is early days, give it time. Mum weighed 9 and 1/2 stone in October, to-day she weighed 41.5 kilos. I haven't worked out the conversion yet, but it is a lot of weight loss
Thanks again
love
