Hello :) I turn to you for advice if anyone has encountered a similar problem. It's about my grandmother, she is 73 years old. At the age of 1-2 she started showing symptoms of dementia. But it wasn't a problem. He just forgot or talked incoherently. But suddenly it started to get worse, the drugs didn't help, rather they hurt. It got drastically worse. He stopped recognizing us, began to become aggressive, neglected hygienic habits. We had to tell her it was time to eat, to go to the bathroom, to go to bed. And suddenly she began to fall into frightening states - she became aggressive, began to see people, moved furniture, developed faucets. In the evening he does not sleep at all, screams, gets on the table, hits the stove. We talked to a psychiatrist, she went to the Psychiatry, where she was simply drugged. But they still couldn't tame her. We did a head scan and it turned out that it was not dementia, the brain cells were completely preserved. Doctors mentioned that it could be schizophrenia. She was prescribed and told to take diazepam and medicines for schizophrenia and dementia. But she got worse, super inadequate and only slept during the day. And in the evening it becomes indomitable. He doesn't seem to notice us at all. Do what you want. She undresses naked. He bangs on the windows. He picks up food and then eats it from the ground. If anyone has encountered such a case, please tell us how you coped. Thanks :) She undresses naked. He bangs on the windows. He picks up food and then eats it from the ground.

Hello, Author! The diagnosis is clear and you know it. There is no way to deal with this problem - unfortunately. A man with such a parent tells you that. The diagnosis is dementia, Alzheimer's or similar - whatever they call it. There is no management, day by day it gets worse, no matter what medications you give ... This is unfortunately ... The only salvation and relief is to take some sedatives from a neurologist. After an examination, they will give them to you so that she is not aggressive and does not harass you - she is a vegetable ... unfortunately ... This is the end, but not quite. Nervous outbursts are horrors and more frequent. The next step is to feed the grandmother so that she does not know how to chew and turn the bite in her mouth. Then it comes and it suddenly stops being able to walk and that's the end - so they spend days with drops of water only in their mouths. For me, my parent went from the first symptom to what you say, 3 years have passed. From this phase in which you are until the end of a year and a half or a total of about 5 years and went much younger than your grandmother's age ... This is my experience - a nasty disgusting experience. This is about my parent who I loved with all my heart and soul and now he remembers him both good and bad in those moments you are talking about. So just rejoice that she is your grandmother and help your parents as much as you can - even for an hour a week, listen to them as often as possible several times a day so that they have normal contact with you. . Sorry for the negative comment - but this is my experience.

I'm №1 again. I told you what you're talking about. My colleague's grandmother is also with her and they told her the same thing - the scanner allegedly showed schizophrenia - but it's not. The woman is still alive, but her colleague and mother screamed at her. I don't remember what they gave and what my father wrote - I forgot, and I don't want to remember. We gave the remaining medicines to a doctor for treatment, but if you want I will ask my colleague what they give to the grandmother and I will write to you again. Good luck! I sincerely sympathize with you - because I know what hell you are going through. Your grandmother is 73 and she was my father, and she was much younger - they don't know their strength, and where they come from ... I don't know. Indeed, if you write that you want me to tell you what the medicines are, I will write to you - whatever they are - there is no effect, except sedatives and it is quite a short time!
Horror .. don't have this in your house .. !!!
Hi №1, thank you very much for the answer. And I'm sorry about your father. This is something I do not wish on anyone. The bad thing is that no one gives us any information, we don't even know what to expect, what's next. We went to both a neurologist and a psychiatrist. Apparently no sedatives help with this condition. I will be grateful if you tell me what pills your colleague gives. But I don't want to bother you. My parents go to work, and my grandmother requires round-the-clock care. We just don't know what to do. Thank you again:)
Hello, Author, I am №1 and №2 tomorrow I will ask, but really nothing works - unfortunately. What I wrote above are the steps in the development of the disease. You can't expect anything good. I don't know how you look at it and how you fight - but hell is full. She will be nervous, she will have crises. I do not reassure you, but there are many people, many with this disease. One is called Alzheimer's and it is a consequence after illness and surgery, and the other is multiple sclerosis or dementia - you choose - but the result is one - AD you wonder what world you are in and no one can help you with anything. Even Ronald Reagan died like that - they say that he had Alzheimer's and the second term as president he spent with this disease / obviously it was the beginning / he had it after surgery. That's what it says on the net and in the press ... I can't say anything else. But I will ask about the drugs - although I know myself
Hello again. Yes, I know that drugs will not help. But somehow I have little hope that anything can make a difference. My grandmother had a problem with one tooth and they put a very strong anesthetic on her, they did a light operation. But after he came out of the anesthesia, it all started. I guess there are really a lot of people with this disease. But the bad thing is that there is no way to deal with it. And only those who have been through this know what it is all about. Good day from me :)
Hello, Author! I talked today with my colleague - one of the drugs of the grandmother is haloperidol. I don't remember the other, but I'll ask again. He said that there was almost no effect and the situation was the same as with you ... unfortunately. I don't know what to tell you, even if I want to I can't calm you down. You're right - whoever went through this only knows what it is. I wish you and your parents good nerves - for the grandmother ... she doesn't realize anything ... I wish you a wonderful day! :) If you remember something, ask again, if I can answer you - gladly. Write from time to time. Bye :)
Hello from me too, author! So was my grandfather-Bow to his bright memory !. He was initially diagnosed with senile dementia, and after several re-examinations was with Alzheimer's. We also consulted with many neurologists and psychiatrists abroad, mostly in France. So, the only drugs that somehow dulled things were Aricept (Aricept-http: //www.aricept.com/ http://www.medicine.bg/lekarstva/aricept)) and Piracetam (http: //apteka.framar .bg / 30002051 / piracetam-al-tabl-1200-mg-30). Aricept is quite an expensive preparation, but it was worth it. Piracetam is about BGN 6. My grandfather lived in one of his worlds until the end, which, unfortunately, was a bunch of memories from his early years, when he was at the front. Accordingly, Grandpa was constantly "burning", someone was always chasing him and he was suffering a lot. What not - incl. and Haloperidrol and Seroquel, which are for a schizophrenic condition, but they only increased his hallucinations and we stopped them immediately. I will be realistic and tell you that there is no improvement in the development of these diseases. However, there is a stagnation in development, ie. the deterioration slows down and somehow improves the patient's quality of life. From the bottom of my heart, I wish everything to go in the most favorable way for all of you!
Author: Hello, girls. Thanks for writing. Unfortunately, my grandmother died. It's very hard ... you know, you've been through this.
I'm looking for help for 67 years. woman, two years old with dementia, complicating condition - confusion, escapes, aggression, etc. I am looking for a strong sedative for aggression - I know it is incurable
Number 10 - no treatment, seek medication from a psychiatrist, but it is best to give the woman in a nursing home, where there are doctors and nurses. There are quite good restaurants.
The only way is to put the woman in a home for the elderly with disabilities. The other way is for at least 2 people in the family not to work and to be with her around the clock / and to endure everything /. I have been working for a long time in a home for the elderly / without disabilities / but I know what happens after such a condition occurs.
my mother has donepezil and only this medicine we found a little calm, but the disease is progressing. those who have dementia Levy's bodies are highly sensitive to any sedatives and anesthetics, even to the most harmless sedative tea. Only Donepezil! Doctors make almost no distinction between Parkinson's and Levy's Taurus dementia, and very often the treatment itself is wrong!
Was she infected with rabies if she had been bitten by a suspicious dog, for example?
My condolences!
My mother has been like this for many years, periods of aggression alternate, on calm days and days when she lies and sleeps, I check if she is breathing. It is very heavy, we take baths with reservations, most of the time I feed her, she often lets go and does not allow me to change her clothes, then I resort to force and take her to the bathroom. and money itself begins to undress. That's how I manage to take a bath and change when he doesn't give it to me. I can't change her otherwise and she can't stay dirty but they don't mind. There are days when she goes back years and quarrels with me as they don't please her but I can't :: try my father again and others like that
