CBD and Dementia

Hi everyone,

My mum with CBD has been living with us since April, she was forgetting things a bit before but has got a lot worse whilst with us. She will forget something we have done already a hour ago or something you told her 10 mins ago.

Just wondering if this is normal age related dementia or connected to the CBD as she is 84 this year. She is about 4-5 years in on her CBD journey.

Thank you.

Hi Araucana.

Confusion was one of the 1st symptoms for my dad. He was referred to the Dementia nurses, he was than referred to the neurologist. My dad is about 6years into CBD. He's memory now (short and long term) is pretty much non existent. It's so sad & heartbreaking. I'm sorry your mom is having to go through this.

Take care.

Good to know, thank you. The more I have read since posting the more I have realised it is the CBD.

My Mum has CBD and PSP about five years in. She has times of confusion and muddled responses.

The nurse described her illnesses as dementia with motor neurone and Parkinson’s all merged - I think it’s normal.

Thank you, such a rotten illness it just removes everything.

I've been caring for my husband with CBD for the past 10 years. The first manifestations of this dreaded condition were dementia-type symptoms. Then he lost the use of his right hand, became incontinent and virtually unable to do much of anything to help himself. I dress him, feed him, shower him, and now have to babysit him 24/7 because his memory is so far gone that he roams day and night, wanting to "go home," and never sleeps! This awful condition is so challenging and limiting, not just for the patient, but for the caregiver as well. I wish you well. And hopefully, you have some help to ease the burden.
