DW broke out in rash.... all over - Legs Arms Back Front. Dermatologist said allergic to most likely Meds. She has not had new Meds in 3.5 months. Gave her script for cream and said try Benedryl at night. So sad she is scratching even in her sleep. Help did return and she is able to give her a shower as long as I am in the room also. There goes by break. 

She is asking for her mother more and more (passed 9 years ago). She doesn't see things but asks where the lady or the guy that was in the kitchen went?

Pills got a little better but takes a long time at 1 every 5 or so minutes. 5 in the day and 7 at night. 

If we go in the car, when we get back to our house, I pull in the garage and she gets out goes to the door, walks in and turns and says Let's go Home! She goes back to the car and sits down. Then we go for a ride again. Sometimes 1 is enough but it has happened 4 or 5 times also. 

Thanks for letting me Vent!!

You must be exhausted SMCL!  Drug allergies can show up later, or it might be something else.  Can you do a video conference with a dermatologist?

Unfortunately, this software is not the best. Whenever you write a long post, you really should copy the post before hitting the "Post" button. At times you can be logged off, without knowing it. Then if you are logged off, your post will not take. But if you have the post copied, you can log in again, then paste the text, and hit "Post". There may even be times when it appears that you are logged in, but then you have to log out, and log in again. It's just something we learn to live with here.

Things are a little worse as she is always asking for her mom. DW has gotten into the habit of putting used TP on sink, on cabinet, in cabinet, and found 1 in the fridge. She says it is someone else and not her. (Thats for anything that has been misplaced also.)

Still going for rides and wanting to go home but not to our house. 

If we go anywhere inside, she wants to leave in 2-5 minutes, and gets nasty about it. My Mothers, her mother's best friend, stores etc.

Doctor (Neuro)  doubled her pills but not doing much good. She whines and asks for help. When I ask what she wants she rubs her finger across her chin and then her eyebrows as if she knows something is wrong up there. 

Thanks for listening!
