All brain scans good: Could my husband still have dementia?

He tried melatonin and it didn't help at all. He was on other sleep meds through the years but still had sleep problems.

He just almost fell getting out of his lift chair (not using the lift). He is now headed for bed (4:30pm). Doctors want him to move around and get more exercise ( he is 89) but he basically has refused for decades. One excuse or another. As they told him, you rest you rust.

Hi Julie,

It sounds as if you are doing all of the right things. Encouraging someone requires cooperation and that may be too difficult for him given his health issues.

I hope you find some answers as you meet with his doctors. When will you have the results of his evaluation?
