Hello everyone, My name is Peggy and this is my first visit to the message boards. My Father, who ia suffering from AD. He does not sleep. . .he will sleep no more than 1 hour a day, sometimes he can go for 2 days without sleep. He looks terrible, we have tried everything from no sugar, or stimulants in the afternoon to melatonin in the evening with sleepy time tea. He wanders, He is on hospice; the nurse took him off all of his meds and put him on thorazine. In the past he has been on seroquel,ativan, risperdal, trazodone, the list goes on. I don't believe that this is sundowners anymore. He doesn't sleep period. . .His hear rate is irregular, sometimes his blood pressure is high, his skin on his chest on the left side looks puffy. I am concerned that he could face serious injuries without any sleep. His bedroom is on the 2nd floor, and he has 8 stairs to walk up and down. he does have live in help, but when he's up, she's up. . .any suggestion? or comments? I would greatly appreciate it!!!
