I have only just joined the forum and hope i can get some ideas from other people in the same situation..My mum aged 82 was diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimas just over a year ago..I guess we knew well before then that things werent quite right, but chose to put it down to "old age". Mum lives on her own with carers visiting 3 times a day. I visit every other day and my sister,who lives an hour away, comes at least once a month. Mum gets very lonely,confused and depressed, often threatening suicide..I so wish i could make her happy, but whatever i suggest she refuses to do. I hate seeing my mum,who has always been such an easy going caring lady, change into someone who is either depressed, angry,confused and even spiteful at times. I try so hard with Mum, but do find on occasions i get cross with her, the constant repetition drives me insane! I feel so guilty when i get angry with her, as i know she really cant help it and she is unaware that she has asked me the same thing 50 times, in the space of 10 minutes!If anyone has any suggestions on how to deal with the repetition i would be most grateful, because how im dealing with it, is not working for me or my mum..Thankyou Wendy.
