Hi everyone,
Some of you might remember I posted a few weeks ago regarding my mum and her memory problems.
Just some brief historical info for those who haven’t read my past post.
Mum has been
-forgetful
-paranoid
-not really eating
-not changing her clothes
-repeating herself all the time
-appearing quite confused and dazed
-worrying about people stealing her stuff
-doing poorly on all her memory test
-has had counselling no real change
-general appearance has gone down hill
-doesn’t know what day month or time it is
*MRI has come back clear apart from a small mengioma which apparently is nothing to be concerned about as reported by doctor, but may have a follow up to make sure it’s not growing etc, but they reassure me that no signs of dementia
*also had bloods done and they have all come back clear as well.
*currently on antidepressants just started them
So I am getting concerned regarding what next? I have spoken to the mental health team and her lead worker says she finds it strange because my mum is behaving like she has dementia with all the signs but MRI is clear. She says that she will speak to the consultant on the team and find out if there anything else that can be done.
I was just wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this and what was your outcome or anything else that I’m not thinking of….I would be so grateful.
The good thing is she remembers all of us and is really happy to see her grandchildren and when she sees us as a family she is happy, so we are trying to spend more time with her to see if it makes a difference.
Thanks for reading x
