in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

My DH has been driving me crazy for a few years with sexual comments all day. The other day at doctor's office he told the nurse she had sexy shoes. This is the first time such comments were made to others. Never before this disease would he say something like that.

Several months I spoke with his geriatric doctor about his sexual comments to me. She said there are many out there, but the side effects scared me. She recommended Gabentin-100 mg but also side effects. Have any of you tried this one? I may look at Cimetidine.

Like all of you I sympathize…so wearing on us.

    Cimetidine has a long track record of safety. It came out in the early 80s.
