Hello @donnajane. I am not a doctor, nor a medical professional of any kind, only a fellow caregiver, so this comes just from my experiences.

With my mother-in-law, any time an action or reaction became repetitive for longer than two days, we wrote it down and brought it to the attention of someone in her medical team. Some of these they could not counteract, but some they could offer suggestions and help with since often with my MIL's dementia, a small item ballooned as it became far more frequent and long lasting in its repetition.

Not sure of your 'layout' with your husband's doctors, but we also did our best to stack appointments so it was the least intrusive for my MIL. She struggled whenever she was out of her house.

Peace and strength,
