Hello all
My Mum (recently diagnosed with AD by a neurologist) has had a really rough 36 hours. She has been significantly more repetitive, more confused and more aggressive (verbally) towards my Dad (who cares for her). I went round to visit this afternoon and noticed that she has a nasty cough that I hadn't noticed when I saw her yesterday and the day before.
As a serial lurker on the forum, could this raised level of AD symptoms be the result of an infection? I will have to wait until Monday now but I plan to speak to her GP - just gathering opinions on here in the meantime.
We have been waiting 6 weeks for her appointment at the memory clinic which is set for this coming Monday morning so I'm hoping both my parents will have more support (or at least know where to turn) after that. My Mum mainly refuses to acknowledge that anything is wrong and thinks that my Dad or I (in any given situation) are playing nasty tricks on her...
Thanks in advance
Sam
