Anybody have their mom or Dad diagnosed with alcoholic dementia?
My mom is in bad shape, plenty of tests the last 8 months show nothing.
Neurologist says mri scan is perfectly normal for someone her age(80).
Blood tests and 3 ER visits for mass confusion episodes, show that apparently she is healthy as the proberbial horse.
I asked dad and sister, who took her to neurologist,, if neuro knows she is a lifetime functioning 95lb alcoholic. They said no, as she's not.
Ive witnessed nightly liquor cabinet raids when she cant sleep since i moved back just before xmas, and heard them my seasonal visits the last 5 years.
Video'd one, as proof, and dad and sister are shocked watching it.
These episodes of mass confusion the last two days, have me at wit's end.
No meds prescribed have been effective, only bad side effects.
And as i type this, she's headed for liquor cabinet......
