Dear Dorothy
Hello to you, Dorothy, on TP
Yep, same problem ... with my husband who doesn't have dementia! He says "I'm singing" or "I'm thinking", and I say ... "well, do it quietly, please, or else I will start my version of singing too". Sorry to be slightly facetious, but I do understand the problem.
Guess there's not a lot you can do about it, apart from put some of your or his favourite music on, and perhaps it may calm you and/or him!
How have you coped for 5 years? Are you all alone in your coping? Do you have lots of support and help? Hope so. If not, just tell the TP mob what you would like and need, and they will all come up with lots of ideas.
Meanwhile, nice to know I'm not alone in the "noise" department.
Katie
