I have been noticing changes with my mother for several years. I first spoke to her doctor over two years ago. He said that as she would not go with me to see him he could not help. In March this year I finally persuaded my mother to go with me. By this time her memory had become bad ,her behaviour had become very erratic and she was extremely anxious about everything. The doctor said it was just a urinary infection. Two weeks later I took her back , this time the doctor asked my mum her name and date of birth, she answered correctly so I was told there was no problem . 5 weeks later in May , by now she had deteriorated even more I took her back, the doctor did some tests , said there was a slight problem and sent her for a CAT scan. She had the scan on 15 June , . We finally saw her doctor again on 22 July and were told there were some changes but he could do nothing for her until she has seen the specialist, we are still waiting. Meanwhile my mothers life is awful she has several bad panic attacks a day , is unable to manage simple tasks such as changing from BBC1 to BBC2 , and does not remember to change her clothes . she has withdrawn from meeting other people eg yesterday went to church and left after 5 minutes.
She needs help desperately but I have no idea where I can get help from.
