Our situation sounds very similar to yours. My husband has had all the tests and is on medicine which is not helping. No definitive diagnosis except early stages of Dementia. He is 85. He has lost a lot of weight and I cook heavy meals. He asks the same questions constantly and the other things you reported. It’s really wearing me down !

Hang in there and if you don’t think the medicine is helping call your doctor and tell them. You live with him 24/7 and you know him. I would recommend getting him a protein shake to add calories.If he has diabetes Sam’s Club sells Premire Protein and it’s low carbohydrates. I have watched many Utube videos on caregivers and dementia. Might try it to get pointers on dealing with the repeat questions. Dementia Careblazers . Good luck Jane

@marymcclanahan Watching someone age is so difficult physically and mentally. Have you checked around for day care centers in your area? Your local area Agency on Aging may have other good suggestions.
Have you changed your routine any to accommodate your husband’s problems?
