Hi all,
Again I'm questioning mums meds.
Just wandering if anyone has advice.
Since her diagnosis mum has been taking, 10mg ebixa (because when she went higher her confusion increased 10 fold and started doing things out of character, like getting drunk and mum has never done more that drank a glass of wine) that was about 2 years ago. Then she went onto simvastatin, metformin for diabetes and now a tablet for nail infection.
Last night mum fell asleep and I wasn't waking her to give her tablets because she hasn't slept for 3 nights prior. And today low and behold she is in fantastic spirits and not a lot of confusion ( except in hairdressers and an embarassing episode of talking to herself in the mirror and was trying to give herself money through it and then when we where leaving telling herself to hurry up and come on!! Lol). But it seems to be all the time there is definitely a link between it. But then I struggle with is it because its not too hot today or because she slept. There's always an explanation as to what else it could be but always when tablets have been not taken previously. Then I have the question of which tablet it is. I know someone on simvastatin that had awful side effects. I mentioned it to her doctor and he suggests carrying on with them. Oooooh what to do what to do. I don't want to mess around with them and they are doing her good but don't want to give them her if they are causing her trouble. Any advice guys xx
