Just Bill 123 - Wow, so sad that this change has occurred. I got awake this morning thinking and praying about what I need to do. More to the point, what I need to change. Yesterday was a circus here. DH was so loopy and it totally exhausted me. I ended up going to bed before the sun went down. He was already in one of his rare moods yesterday before the repairman came. Then it went into high gear. The repairman picked up pretty quickly that things weren't right and handled it very well. DH wanted to do all of the talking for everyone...and wanted to direct everything. It didn't stop even when the repairman left. For the remainder of the day, he was in his "I'm in charge" mode barking orders and being verbally abusive because I wasn't listening to him. I need a break.
We still do not have a diagnosis and it is taking forever. I've gone the supplements route to try and calm him down. Ashwagandha does work....when he takes it. I think he's been skipping it. What did you end up doing?

So sorry you have these days. I also have the “take charge” days at my house. He blames me for his diagnosis of lewy body dementia. He is back to I have ldm they say. But I dont have any symptoms. His dr tried to explain to him you might perceive it that way. Other people might see it differently. He listens in dr office. But is back to same behaviors at home. Some days are so hard.
