Hi All,
I am hoping for some advice about my mum. She has some of the common dementia symptoms, forgetting things, no appetite - but there are other things that I haven't come across much.
Many thanks,
Fiona
I am hoping for some advice about my mum. She has some of the common dementia symptoms, forgetting things, no appetite - but there are other things that I haven't come across much.
- She has 'memory blocks', for example we were talking about the anniversary of a death of a family member and she had zero recollection of who the person was.
- She refuses to eat - unless it's biscuits or cakes etc
- She gets fixated on a person and hates them and becomes really nasty
- Her personality has changed, she is really bitter and angry all the time
- She is refusing to take medication or see the doctor
- She seeing and hearing things - for example, she told me about seeing puffins in her garden and that her neighbours have parties all the time - they don't
- She is convinced people are phoning her all the time - I have checked her phone and there are no calls when she says there is
Many thanks,
Fiona
