I'm another one in the club.

There are drugs that slow down the symptoms a little but they only help a little.

My mother was reasonably ok until about a year ago. Six months ago it started to be a concern and I hid car keys and her handguns (don't ask!). I placed her in the same carehome as her sister for a month before Xmas to see how she got on there (for the future) and for physio therapy for an orthopaedic problem. The place is excellent but She hated it. On her doctor's advice I organised a part-time nurse for her, she subsequently declined again and I'm now organising full time live in help and reorganising her home.

Progress is being made in understanding and medication but it sure ain't easy.
