[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tylenol pm is an anticholinergic which is linked to causing dementia. I would make sure she is off of that.[/quote] If MIL is still struggling with insomnia and taking Tylenol PM you or DH (or both, I don’t know what your relationship is like) should encourage her to talk with her doctor. Both chronic sleep deprivation and anticholinergics really up the risk and onset of dementia. They sound like different women with different needs. Maybe MIL is content with what she’s doing. She has friends and family close by that she’s engaged with. I’d be a little concerned about lack of brain stimulating activity, and maybe ask SIL if you can support anything in that way. But don’t expect her to morph into your mom. [/quote]
