Mother

Hi Chirley,
Is it possible to talk with a doctor about your mother's symptoms of rapidly progressing dementia and make him/her see her at her home? Then the doctor could perhaps could order lab tests for example Hgb, B12, copper and borrelia. I don't know which tests that can be taken in a home.

If this not is possible you have to "take her ability to make decisions away from her" because as you know some of the diseases that causes dementia are treatable but treatment should start as soon as possible.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
