Hi @Caz1
Yes, unfortunately any falls or changes of location upset the status quo.
We had a specialist pharmacist look at the range of medications of a family member and that was simplified, making things much better for him. So many medications work against each other and the doctors cannot know it all, they are going by what the chemical companies teach them.
The type of dementia my partner has does not have any suitable medication to assist but I am lucky in that he has only 2 which don't impact upon each other. If he is given a prescription I read up on it before even going to the pharmacy ! Taking no chances.
@arpie is amazing. I don't know how she copes so well with this stage in her partner's road of hell. So much added work.
Thanks for your explanation of your experiences. Forewarned is forearmed.
