My mom started having hallucinations early on. People walking in the room, sounds, doorbells, animals making a nest, helicopters landing on the driveway, girls playing basketball. They slowed down after we started Aricpept and seem to happen in the afternoon or when she is drowsy.
They started back up. In her house she sees snakes. Rattlesnakes. she says she can smell them. My Dad is not good at "going along". He checked and pronounced that she was wrong. this does not go over well.
Rats in Colorado. I kill them, my husband kills them, we let the kids take turns killing them. Eases her mind. ANy wrinkle or bump in the bed is suspect. Check, double check, take concerns seriously. Ask her not to mention the rats to neighbors.
Maybe since I mentioned that we could get her a prescription to medical marijuana in Colorado, she smells it. She is embarrased someone is cooking it upstairs (do you cook marijuana?)
