My husband was diagnosed 5 years ago. I now have to help him get dressed, help him in the shower, he does not know when he has gone number 2 so I am constantly cleaning up after him.

My sister diagnosed 3-4years, thinks we are living in a nursing home, we are in her home for many years. She has worked in health care facilities most of her life.

As I was reading your post, I had to look at the sender because it sounds exactly like my situatuon! I don't know what stage my husband is considered to be in but he has the same issues you are having. I just want to scream and run away. No help from the family so it's all on me.

Oh my...no wonder you want to run screaming from the house...the Seroquel should help but dose may need adjusted to twice a day to maybe decrease the delusions. The hitting of grandson is so awful for the child so hopefully that type of aggression doesn't happen again....hugs
