New CG, Question 2: SNAKE OIL?

The CBD oil took some experimenting. I used a few drops at a time, put in the side of the mouth, until we (our caregiver and I) found an amount that worked. He (caregiver) said he wished he had known about this with his former LBD patient...it has been a life saver and has, so far, kept my sweet hubby at home. If the aggressive behaviors had continued....I am certain he could not have stayed at home for his safety or mine. We had tried buspar, seroquel, rimeron, klonopin, xanax - and I am sure other meds that also had disastrous results. The hallucinations still continue but they seem to be calmer, and he is manageable. By the way, he was 63 when he was diagnosed and now he is 69. How I long for the days before the diagnosis when we were carefree and looking forward to years of travel, grandchildren growing up, and just laughing together on our patio.....now the days and dreams are quite different, yet I am grateful beyond measure to be on this journey to help and encourage this amazing man who I am so grateful to call mine..... ❤️

My wife just turned 66, and this is exactly what we are feeling and going through. The future is suddenly completely turned upside-down.
