Can Abilify (5mg) cause tremors?
Thank you and I will speak with my pharmacist.
I am the caregiver and I took a hard fall so need temporary help with drs. appts. Rehab is coming in to help me get better, but this driving is bad.
Hope you recover fully and soon. My husband still talks about buying a car and driving when we're back visiting in CT. Here in FL there is only "my" car and he doesn't ask to drive it. I have told… read more
Quoting from the Columbia University website: "Our ability to understand how Alzheimer's disease affects the brain and causes debilitating memory loss, confusion, and eventually death, is dependent upon studying brain tissue."
Research is SO important. I'm wondering if anyone else is considering this.

Didn't with my husband. But with Clyde that could be a thought for discussion. I doubt he would agree to it.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I am sure it was painful to go through as a loving caregiver and observer. I am thankful that my husband is so oblivious to his own difficulties.
Some days are harder than others for sure. It's like putting your finger in a light socket: every thing you do is wrong! I'm trying so hard to stay calm no matter what. I know Hubs is frustrated too… read more

I had to do a guardianship on my mom when she was being scammed a couple years ago. The POA didn’t stop her ability to write checks to people she never met. Now I pretty much handle everything for… read more
Should I try to explain to my LO what to expect down the road? Should the doctor do this? He knows he has poor memory, but doesn’t know what progression entails. He doesn’t know what I worry about. (He doesn’t believe he can’t drive anymore. I know this isn’t uncommon. ) Should he know that he will lose ability to care for himself, and eventually die from it?
I don't have an answer, but thanks for asking the question. I appreciate the experienced advice of others!
Thank you all for the replies. Raymond also shuffles and doesn't pick up his feet. We currently do not have a neurologist as the one we were dealing with did not mesh with us.
I moved in with father after my divorce,2015, to get 'on my feet'. I was financially broke. My father owned a business, and I helped run it. Off and on from 2002-2018, In 2017, I saw cognitive declination in my father and his decision making for the business was not logical or money making. His business was in trouble financially
We Went to a doctor, and a neurologist; they both diagnosed him with Alzheimer's. I have been living with him since 2015. Now, he is close to going into a memory… read more
It is definitely part of the final process. I watched my mother stop eating and drinking. If we force food and drink, this can make our patient sick. We moisten their mouths and lips, and pray the… read more
