Moms been complaining of upset stomach for about a week now. Shes been on aricept for a little over a month. Just last week her dose went up to 10mg. I'm wondering if this could be the cause. I haven't had a chance to read the side affects. She hasn't eaten a whole lot besides soup. Was gonna give a call to the doc, but thought I'd ask of anyone else had experienced this.
My husband has a upset stomach every day ? if I give him gabapenten and it gets past the stomach sickness but he cannot walk straight he looses his balance ….He eats constantly
Thanks everyone for the hugs!

She’s in hospice care and on Seroquel, Alprazolam and they want to start Haldol.

My husband was diagnosed in 2012, & now needs me for everything. He sometimes gets angry if I leave the room. I don't feel like a person anymore. I don't get to be just me anymore. I don't get to do the things some of the things I used to enjoy. Sometimes I feel resentful, & angry at this disease. Sometimes I am angry at his children for not helping out even though I know in my heart they are busy with… read more
I know exactly how you feel. We are human, it’s perfectly normal to feel anger when they lash out. Even though they don’t know what they’re doing. I’m taking my hubby to day care 2 days a week . This… read more
How to handle medical complaints that may be real or imaginary. Beyond being checked by PCP and Specialists and multiple hospitalizations, what are solutions to the repetitive complaints like back pain, ear pain, leg pain, constipation, banging/music in the head. These have all been addressed, treated and still they come up almost like a cycle from one thing to the next. Each one lasting a few months and then on to the next complaint. How can we get my Mother-in-law off topic?

Thanks for sharing, Eva. I can’t help thinking Greg’s medications should continue to be increased, too, until he eventually doesn’t wake up. His situation continues to worsen and, last Thursday, the… read more
I'm new to myALZteam. In my profile it asks me to "Add Provider". What are you referring to? My PC, my dad's PC? I don't think he sees a Neurologist. (I'll have to check- seems like he should be) !
I believe I put her neurologist when it asked that and if you don't I would've but down his primary care physician hope this helps
