My DH is blaming his Alzheimer’s on his CPAP. He found a water bottle he uses and he thinks this is a miracle cure. He talks about from the time he gets up until he goes to bed. It gets tiring most days. He also thinks the doctors know this but they just want more patients and people who use CPAPs are all going to get Alzheimer’s. Any advice on what to do. I have called the SW and waiting to hear back.
Thanks for letting me vent.

I'd probably go along with him on the miracle cure water bottle, hoping he would stay hydrated. Crazy maybe, but I usually just agree with most of my DH's babbling regardless. The CPAP is a problem tho

any device becomes a challenge as the disease progresses. Hearing aids, glasses, dentures, CPAP, etc. I would continue to talk to his doctor. Here are some tips that may or may not help. https://compassioncrossing.info/strategies-to-help-dementia-patients-use-cpap-overnight-a-caregivers-guide/
