Hi ,I'm so sorry to hear that you are having this problem. If I were you , I'd take her meds and put them in one of those 7 day container s .That way she would still have control for each day of the week but you would have control over the larger amounts of her med and could keep track of what she has taken -and or - if she mixed them up. . If you have to sneek them from her I would -for her own safety. It may make her feel that she is still in control and you could even say your doing it so you don't get mixed up and if the doctor has any question about her meds then you and she would be able to tell him nore precisely how things are going.I had to do this with my brother when he was living with me as he would take more medicine then he was suppose to .So I took it from him ,even though he through a fit. When he understood that this was the way it was going to stay he accepted it and we went forward with the program. I will say be ready for an arguement but stick to your guns and it will settle down.. My best to you. and your Mom. These changes are not in anyway easy for you or your mom,but it needs to take place..Teri
Hi! I am caring for my mom who is 87 yrs old. She has alzheimers. I am having a difficult time with her medication. She refuses to let me distrubute them to her. I talked to her Dr. and he wants me to give it to her. She refuses telling me that I don't know how to do it. I know she's not taking them right. Dr. is aware she refuses. I find pills mixed up with other pills. I think I have tried everything from keeping them where she can't get to them. She'll throw fits when she can't find them. Would anyone have any suggestions??? Thank you
