kelechiodo: Hello, It must be very shocking for your family to see that sort rapid decline. The problem with dementia especially in a younger person is that at first people will think it's normal forgetfulness,normal confusion ,clumsiness, depression,anxiety,thinking too much etc till the person deteriorates and by then even the meds I mentioned may now not be useful. Once early diagnosis and treatment is missed, prognosis is poorer. I'm surprised you mentioned there's no history of dementia in your family,early onset dementia is uncommon..there is usually someone in the past who had memory problems or who suddenly changed behaviour,became aggressive,someone who was known to hold conversations with himself,or see things that others couldn't see etc. Unfortunately,they may have thought the person needed deliverance instead of medical care. Haldol is an anti psychotic and it is usually to sedate the person and reduce agitation/aggression.It cannot be given in all dementias at all. You said medications accelerated the whole thing,it shouldn't. Most likely whatever she received made her symptoms worse that is why It is essential that the type of dementia is known for sure. eg If she started off with fluctuation in memory,maybe seeing things others cannot see,feeling there's someone else in the house when there's none,very restless , movement problems resembling parkinsons ,falls, difficulty with speech then another form of dementia is considered. It's important you also educate yourself on the different dementias and see which one best describes your mum,that combined with the CT result could give you peace of mind that she's at least recieving the best possible care. Speak to her doctor,arm yourself with knowledge,then you all will sit down and fashion out a management plan to make her life easier. I am really sorry for the suffering you all are going through especially your mother. It is a very difficult situation. PS: Read up Alzheimer's , Lewy body dementia, Fronto temporal dementia ,Vascular dementia I am hoping along with millions of others that there's a breakthrough in research for this horrible illness. My warmest regards to your mother. 1 Like |

Ishilove: When she returned. She was being hostile towards everyone including pops, no greetings et all. I suggested to pops to just ignore her and let her stay but all provisions in the kitchen, money he provides etc. should STOP until she apologizes for packing out for no reason. This went on for two days and I guess she got tired cuz she packed out on her own. Nah she ain’t coming back in here. 100% |

Creamcustard: [/quote] Thanks so much for your reply. But sincerely do you think that any medication at this stage will help her in any way. Maybe just enough to remember any of her kids |

kelechiodo:Hello,I'm so so sorry that I forgot to check in. Unfortunately medication for this illness won't necessarily mean a return to old self and remembering things,it MAY just reduce progression of illness. Some benefit,others don't .It is person dependent. I wish you and your family all the best. |
