My husband is showing some strange behaviour, I don't know if it is dementia related or if there is something medical afoot.
He feels chilled and wants a blanket (or even two) and demands I take his temperature as he feels he has a chill. He is not running a temperature, I do check it several times, and even give him a heat blanket (this does not seem to help). After an hour or two he is back to normal as if the event never occurred. This can be a daily, we go through a few days when it happens and then nothing, then it happens again. It happens mid afternoon and can go on till early evening. Think we are on stage 3/4 of Dementia.
I have a video of him during one of these 'episodes' if I can post it someplace. Any ideas what is happening? He is 89 and fit and healthy and drinks and eats well.
