Hi all, sorry about the long post but I hope you can give me some advice.
My 78 year old husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's December 2021. His only problem so far has been short term memory, ie. he doesn't remember asking a question repeatedly (or the answer). He's pretty good keeping up with life in general, still works in the garden and his workshop, makes lunch and cups of tea, can still follow a recipe when he's preping the protein and veg.
There's been a major drug related problem arising in the the area we live recently so we decided we should move. One of our daughter's spotted a house for sale near to them. We looked, we liked, we put an offer in which was accepted. He had a panic attack soon after I got everything moving!
Things have gone from great to horrendous in the space of 2 weeks. I've had to withdraw our offer, ask the solicitor to give up and send a bill and put off the estate agent we set on to sell our house.
He takes Donepezil and the doc gave him Sertraline which he hated, said it made him feel worse so he refused to take them. His sister recommended Kalms Day, he liked the sound of those as they're herbal, they've not kicked in yet but he's willing to continue taking them.
What do I do when he can no longer take the Kalms, they say maximum of 4 - 6 weeks? What do I do when he says we need to carry on with trying to move as he keeps saying we need to before the house becomes worthless? I'm totally lost!!
