Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Hi - Just wanted to welcome you. I haven't posted much latley but this is a wonderful place to come for support and answers or suggestions to your problems with your mom. My mom too is in a NH which breaks my heart but we were told she needed 24/7 care and my sister or i am there every night. She is 73 years young and i never thought her life would come to this. She too was so aggitated that it was scarey. She takes Effexor and the upped it about 31/2 weeks ago and she is so calm now. It's such a blessing for us. She still gets confused but can carry on great conversation too. I'm not saying this is the answer for your mom because i found out from this site that everyone is different and a lot are the same. What works for one might not for another. I also know that she can change overnight and back to bad days but i'm taking these good days and getting the most i can out of them. I'm sorry you have to be going through this horrible disease in your family. Hugs to you! Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
