Also, she insists that we are not her "real" daughter-in-law, son, brother, etc., even though she has only one of each of us. Thiinks that we have moved her into another house "exactly like my other one". Is very argumentative and can't reason. She has some dementia as well as "Sundowner's". She has lived with us for nearly 3 years after cancer treatment, but this behavior was sudden and unexpected. Have you experienced abything like this?
aware of Capgras Syndrome, but it corresponds to MIL's behavior. Susan
I'm not sure if that is related to the refusal of pills. Perhaps since she thinks you are imposters she is worried that she can't trust you to give her her meds.
My heart goes out to you. Dealing with the various aspects of dementia is challenging, frustrating, and heartbreaking.
