Maybe you could tell her a " Loving lie " and say the phone must be " broke. " I think they have that phone in the AD store. Maybe can help with getting to the site.

Hugs, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh. She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine. Bach's Rescue Remedy I have a 22-year-old daughter who has been suffering from mild anxiety attacks. Her doctor prescribed Paxil, but she was too worried about the side-effects to take it. I also have anxiety attacks, my doctor prescribed Ativan, and I don't like to take drugs of any kind. It's a battle to get me to take an Aleve for my fibromyalgia. So...after reading in here about Rescue Remedy, I decided that she and I should give it a try, and believe me...it works! So there's always something to be learned from coming here and reading things that may not, at first glance, be anything you can use. I'm always open to homeopathic remedies, etc., over taking chemical combinations. I don't know about my Mom...we'll give it a try this week for her. Perhaps it will keep her from calling 911, which she did TWICE yesterday, telling them that my brother's house was on fire. Dad accidentally left the phone with her after she talked with her sister during one of her increasingly less-frequent lucid periods. One of the counselors at school asked if we could just give her a fake phone...can you imagine how that would go over in a lucid period?

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Here's the link to the Alzheimer's Store: http://www.alzstore.com/ Look up " dial-less phone " from their product list. Kinda scary looking though. I think it reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode... LOL > > Jan, > > They do have phones you can only anwer, you can't call out on them.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 What my daughter and I are using is called " Bach's Rescue Remedy " . It is a plant extract formula, and it is an oral spray, much like the old Binaca spray. If you feel an anxiety attack coming on, you simply spray it on your tongue (2 sprays). The effects are almost instantaneous. I got it at a health food store by me, Akin's Natural Foods. You can order it online at drugstore.com, and other stores that carry homeopathic or natural remedies. Its ingredients are rose rock, clematis, impatiens, and a couple of other flower extracts. It has a very pleasant taste. The only caveat would be that it is 27% alcohol (in a brandy carrier), but you have to understand that it is less than any mouth wash, cough medicine, etc., and even if you used the entire 20 ml container at one time, you would be getting less than 20 ml of alcohol. At $17.95 for 20 ml canister, there are much cheaper ways to enjoy one's intake of brandy. Gimme a brandy, ...

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Well, my daughter is almost 23, and I'm...uh...of a certain age...*LOL* Neither of us have any problems with alcohol, and if you stop to think that the entire 20 ml bottle, even if you drank it all at once, at 27% alcohol...5 ml = 1 tsp...4 tsp x 27% = less than 1 tsp of alcohol. Sometimes ya gotta do the math.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi, all - Just jumping in here head first - although as I can't find the original exchange about valerian, I'm probably repeating what someone else already said. I've taken valerian and found it helpful. Those of us sensitive to the benzo family will proceed cautiously, though, as valerian is a rather near relative of valium.
