I have explained that he has ED - for a moment he remembers. But the efforts on his part is never ending. I feel horrible. He is groping me all the time. We have been together for 38 years. I love him dearly. It is hard to feel loving in that way with his Alzheimer's and all the issues that surround it.
Wht did work for a while were back rubs. The tactile connection between us lasted the longest and he relaxed and enjoyed the physical contact. For a while he also rubbed my back and we cuddled.
Gorlin, this phase will end, the questioning will get worse, so follow the rcommendations for antidepressant or better yet, antipsychotic medications which may deal with his delusions for a while.
Currently he is on a antipsychotic medication that seems to have calmed his urges. Plus he is now catherized as the disease progresss.
They can increase the Synamet (carba dopa) and decrease the Ropinirole but that is not always the best solution as in his case he immediately had worse Parkinson's symptoms.
