You need to get a diagnosis and then get some help for you and your husband. If it is a dementia and not something else causing memory loss, you need to take advantage of all there is out there to help patient and caregiver get thru this. Dementia runs a horrible course and you will need outside support. Come visit us often. Great source of info and a feeling that you are not alone in your daily struggles. Hugs to you.

My hubby went thru a very destructive and violent period about a year and a half ago. Spent almost $3000 repairing/replacing things he would destroy when he had these bouts of anger. Dr. put him on risperidon and rarely have an anger outbreak now. Don’t know if it was just another’s phase of this disease or if the meds helped, but soooo glad this has passed.

This is a real problem. I know because I lived it with my hubby. I was able to talk to his nurse. And I explained my fears, so at his next visit she ask him if he would go for testing, and he did. But he told me, "they said I didn't have it.". So it took me 3 more years to find out the truth.(even though I knew he had it) my advice to you would be to tell him that you are making an appt for him to see the doctor so YOU feel better knowing for sure that there is nothing wrong. It might work but it might not. Each person is different. Good Luck.

My husband does not recognize himself in mirrors and reflections like in windows. He wants to get a new driver license because he says it is not him on it. I agree with Blondie, You definitely need to get him diagnosed. Praying for you.

Hi Blonde' - thanks for your reply but he WILL NOT GO TO THE DRS!! I know that hes not right. complete personality change, so cross and bad tempered all the time, paranoid, ODD i'm sure, as everything I suggest he'll do the opposite. I'm the 'she devil' in his eyes which is very sad after 40 years of marriage this year and as he says/thinks I treat everyone better than him!! Hides his money, obviously doesn't trust me etc. Its a nightmare to live with and although I'm a positive person its really hard living with this day in day out, with someone having a go at me everyday for no reason, its really wearing me down!!
Anyway enough moaning - hope you manage to have a good Christmas. All the best. xx
