"Dementia is easy to say and easy to write but not so easy to understand"
my dad
Back
hi, my dad has had parkinsons for 13years and a.d. for the last 6years, my mum is the main carer for him but now she is starting to suffer from dementia as well, mum is 79 and dad is 80.
Hi John.
Oh dear. It sounds as though you have some pretty major worries. Has your mum been diagnosed with dementia? Has this illness been confirmed by a doctor or a memory specialist? If so, help should become available for your mum and dad. If not, then you must persuade her to go to the doctor. If you cannot attend with her then why not write a note and make sure the doctor gets it. You could ask for her to be seen by the memory team in her area.
All the best
Jill.
