Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Alzheimer's / March 2007father
Hi all of you. Can anyone tell me why an 85 year man with Alzheimer's who has forgot all of his kids and does not know where he is at most of the time still try's to make sex moves on all of his daughters. He has lived with me for years and he has forgot everything and everybody he has known but has sex on his mind all the time. Since I am his daughter this makes me sick .Is there anything I can do to get this to stop. Thank you shirley Shirley, the poor man doesn't KNOW you are his daughter or that such advances are socially unacceptable. You said yourself, he no longer recognizes you. He has lost his ability to control himself. He can't see himself as others see him -- and his ability to understand the niceties of social proprieties is gone entirely. Whatever is left of his mind probably has no idea he's an elderly man either! He may have a frontal lobe dementia rather than Alzheimer's. There isn't much you can do except understand he isn't doing this on purpose!!

It doesn't make it anymore pleasant to deal with, but you're not the only one going through it, if that somehow helps. Charles R.

Because they are female. Remember that his brain is damaged by this horrible disease and he has no idea of what is acceptable, much less any knowledge of who you are. You should ask your father's doctor for some medication to help control his delusions, but be aware that some meds that will control delusions in normal folks won't work with those who have a frontal lobe dementia. The doc needs to be sure that it's really AD, not just an AD diagnosis because they couldn't find something else at the time. It's not uncommon to give folks with dementias medication to control their delusions and hallucinations. There is no reaason that they should be disturbed all the time when the drugs exists to reduce or stop these problems, which do nothing but upset the patient. > Hi all of you.

My grandmother was extremely modest and "proper" up until the alzheimer's, but now she farts all the time, pulls her pants down just whenever to show me her surgery scar, etc. She decided just recently to tell me about the affairs she had with married men... She would have never done any of that before! >> Hi all of you.

Well, I hope none of of my "carers" are so anal retentive to deny me the odd fart on the death bed. anthony shipley Run away with me; I can make you unhappy. > Hi all of you.

Thank you shirley My father suffered from vascular dementia and went from being a quiet considerate man to being violent vulgar and amoral as a result of frontal lobe damage from strokes and TIA's. He had no concept of his own age and couldn't recognise my mother most of the time. Strangely enough he recognised all of his offspring in the two weeks prior to his death. http://www.latheron.free-online.co.uk/kenlatheron.htm |
