- I went to the nursing home at noon today to give my husband his lunch. He looked angry and when I tried to put his glasses on he flung them away. The nurse tried to give him his noon meds( they are supposed to ease his agitation) and he spilled...
- I am so upset and so frustrated. My husband has been in a nursing home a month now and his behaviour has become steadily more difficult.I don't know whether it's the adjustment or whether he is physically unwell and acting out as we know patients...
- As I wrote earlier, my husband was admitted to a nursing home just over 2 weeks ago. I am visiting every day, sometimes 2 and 3 times a day and am beginning to wonder if that's too much. He is becoming very angry and difficult when he has to be...
- I placed my husband in a nursing home a week ago. Now I'm second guessing my decision and the guilt is overwhelming.He requires heavy duty physical care as well as all the other stuff and his day program was about to discharge him for that reason,...
- I just want to say thank you to all of you who wrote and sent hugs. I don't have time to answer individually as I'm spending hours with my husband at the nursing home.It's amazing to me how strangers can be so supportive and family members are not...
- As i posted in another place my TN has returned after a lengthy remission. I have been under severe stress because of my husband's decline( he has Alzheimer's). I finally had to place him in a long term care facility this week and my symptoms are...
- My husband just soiled his pants for the 4rth time today. Each time I have struggled to get him on the toilet, only for him to get up and do it in his pants. It is so frustrating.Not enough that he has a catheter but now we have this new problem.I'm...
- My husband is mid to advanced stage. He has always been a gentle, kind man. In the last few weeks he had been getting nasty with me, especially when I have to wash him, brush his teeth or any personal care. He has started throwing things in...
- I have not posted for some time as I have been pain free for a long time. Suddenly my symptoms appear to be starting again with shocks in the tongue while chewing on the left side and after talking for a bit. Along with that I have intermittent pain...
- I went off carbamazapine about 3 weeks ago as I was having no more symptoms of TN.Yesterday I started having a shooting pain at the back of my head, on the same side where I had the TN and I'm wondering now if this could be related. The pain is...
- I recently stopped taking carbamazapine because I have been symptom free from TN for several months. Within a day my eye starting twitching and this has continued. Has anyone else experienced this? I want to call the neurologist but am afraid he...
- I don't remember whether I posed this question before so forgive me if I have. Does anyone else experience a strange smell from carbamazapine. Periodically during the day I smell an odd smell. At first I thought it was in my house but I smell it...
- I have been on carbamazapine since the middle of May. It has taken away the major attacks but I still have trouble eating on the left sideand sometimes talking gives me pain in the tongue.I have been afraid to go to the dentist for fear that I will...
- I have been diagnosed with TN and it looked like classic type with elelctric shock like pains but also spasm-like.I am finding now that I have an almost constant ache on the same side, from the edge of the nose over..Has anyone else experienced both...
- I seem to have increasing difficulty remembering things and wonder if that could be a side effect from the drug or just my daily stresses in caring for a spouse with Alzheimer disease.Anyone else on this drug experiencing memory issues?
