And me!
Hi, I've just found this forum too and it is already reassuring that some of the things I am going through with my mother, who has Alzheimers and vascular dementia, are clearly very common. Like Chippy, Mum has started to just have "all over washes" and I have a real struggle to get her in the bath. She also seems to constantly be eating, and often eating inappropriate foods - I caught her eating tinned cat food on her roll. She didn't even think that was odd! She lives with me and so far I cannot get any care support so I am feeling frustrated, tired and emotional most of the time. At least she hasn't driven for many years, so that is not something I worry about - and it must be a worry, Chippy. They get so aggressive when you thwart them - I am finding that difficult.
The current problem is Mum is scratching herself all the time to the point that she is drawing blood, but I can't see any rash or anything. I wondered if that was part of the disease or something else?
