Any news, Maggie? What did the doctor say?
Thanks for asking
I told him all that had been happening with my mother change in behavior , at the day centre and about how she is deluding herself that someone going to marry her , another woman wants to take her boyfriend away from her man. showing a lot of anger .
e
could it be down to confusion of the dementia her emotions , or in the environment she in setting her temper of.
Showed him what I had printed out.
he said that they is loads of dementia, so in what the dementia does does to the brain , things like this do happen with people with dementia its part of the symptoms , its a shame that the day centers are saying this to you no one should question what your mother has when a diagnose has been done.
So I went on to say would a urine infection course her temper , he said that it can course more confusion .
So I gave him mum urine sample that mum done this morning and they sent it of for tests .
Her blood test where all Ok , just that her sugar level from the blood test are high .
( His looking at my mother note on computer )
so I ask could her sugar level being high Course her temper ?
So he look over to me , as if I had not been listening to what he had said before that its all down to the dementia .
so he said his going to to type out a letter to the psychogeriatrician to come out to see my mother . Then I say Good! and smile at him ( as I am thinking He believe me )
In the letter he says
Many thanks for seeing this lady .
She suffer from Alzheimer's diagnosed in 2003 in Gibraltar . She has been under the psychogeriatrician and has had a brain scan . She has treaded with Mermantine hydrochloride 20 mg since diagnosis . She now has outbursts of anger which are causing problem at the Day Center since she is verbally abusive .
He said give a photo cope of this letter to Day centre , if they have any more quarries tell them to ring me any time .
He did say that its strange that this medication could still be working for such a long time , he did not know about the medication .
So I presume the psychogeriatrician would know more about this type of medication .
Has anyone else love from seen a consultant psychogeriatrician, mum saw one back in Gibraltar that gave me Exbiza after the brain test came back .
I am also going to ask him / her if mum can have another brain scan to see if its progressing, if it is AZ or Not . See what he she says .
I feel so much better after seeing the doctor
