[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom is 18 years into alzheimers.

1.  400 mg of magnesium in the evening
   Magnesium glycinate will not cause loose stools
    Magnesium citrate will help with constipation

This stuff has been a godsend.  Mom sleeps through the night.
She has "regularity". It reduces sundowners.  It is truly the best supplement ever and more effective than the memory meds.

2.  IF he ends up in hospital for anything force the hiring of careigvers for when he comes home.

3.  Step back yourself.

4.  If you get further complaints tell her you can get people sent over from an agency starting on __________.[/quote]

I'm the poster who never shuts up and I agree with all of this. Also, psychotropic meds!! The neuro sold it as just a teeny tiny dose to take the edge off and assured them it's not what you give crazy people. There is a huge stigma for mental health issues with this generation and it helps sometimes for both caree and caregiver to be on meds,

Yes, yes, yes STEP BACK and as this person says ...offer to send help in your place. Brilliant! It is quicksand if you get involved. That was my big mistake. I just wanted to provide relief and make mom happy and it backfired.[/quote]
