Sweet little old lady becomes a raving maniac. She is suddenly cursing when she never did before. what is a UTI and how can it cause this? What should you do?
4 UTIs in 4 months for my mom and the delusions/hallucinations haven't truly gone away at all yet. She's on powerful psych meds and gets penicillin for the UTIs now but still no idea why this is still happening and not going away, all scans and neuro tests come back normal. It is soooo so frustrating. It was in a matter of maybe 2 weeks that her personality and mental state just completely changed. I just want my mom back.
I am so sorry you are dealing with this. Read my reply to Kimberly about what we used that helped my MIL. Maybe it will help your mom. Be careful with the psyc meds also as they can often bring on the symptoms.
Hi T lynn, I totally understand what you're going through. I've been dealing with it with my grandmother for awhile. She has neurogenic bladder from a stroke and the UTI's have been the worst thing so far! I've been trying to reach out to others to get some advice to prevent this from happening. I personally think the hallucinations from the infection cause worse symptoms than the stroke.
@@vincevega6676 well its been 4 weeks and my grandma is exactly like your response. Her mind has came back mostly but she has episodes of confusion and mumbling throughout the day.
They give an antibiotic and it comes right back over and over. I can't understand why they can't get rid of them. I know more than one person that this is happening too.
We gave my MIL cranberry pills ( get at health food store) Doctors and nurses turned up their noses but the truth is she stopped having them. We also had to push her to drink more water and fluids without caffine.
I am sorry you are angry. This video was created years ago. I did the best I knew how at the time. I keep it up because the information is good, and relevant, and has helped a number of people. I hope you have a better day.
Help me ! Im so frustrated and hurt been caring for my quadraplegic dad for 17 yrs at home now he has uti infection . He is hallucinating and is on antibiotics and also anti physchotic medicine. Will he stop the hallucinations? My dads body wasnt working he was bedridden and now his mind is attacked im so hurt for him.

@@vincevega6676 did her mind ever clear up back to normal? I'm going thru this now...
@@spacecadet6985 slightly, but she definitely has days better than others. Some days is a blank stare and other days she talks to me a little.

Music makes the video nearly impossible to listen to

Take a look at the newest video I posted on this subject.
Why is there music playing in this video? So distracting, annoying, and completely inappropriate/irrelevant???

Reach out for help. Talk to social workers in your area. Call the Area Agency on Aging
My dad can’t remember us now after he took pill. He has UTI. He is 65 years old. Please help me what to do. Is his memory back to normal? Please help
I am not sure what pill you are referring to. Talk to his doctor. And if you don't get the answers you are looking for change doctors.
@@Findhoustonseniorcare my dad took all his UtI medicine, but he can’t still remember everything I feel so bad :(
@@queenpbjorn5029 Make sure the UTI is gone. Sometimes people get them back to back. He may also have dementia. The UTI will make it worse.
@@Findhoustonseniorcare I feel so sad I don’t know what to do.
@@Findhoustonseniorcare thank you.
Horrible music
What music?
It’s possession 😪
