[QUOTE="Momslittleangels, post: 180821, member: 905"] Busy: Many people have mentioned the medications, which can create all sorts of side effects and behavioral changes, but I was thinking down another avenue. My mother-in-law had Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Emphysema about 20 years ago and as the disease progressed, her behavior started getting off kilter. One day she would be fine, the next day she would be hallucinating and then the following day she would be fine again. The doctors attributed this to her lack of oxygen to the brain due to her Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). She eventually passed away at age 72 after fighting the disease for 5 years. It was hard to watch and the doctor's did what they could to make her comfortable (i.e., full time oxygen and some medications, like steroids to open up the airways), but she didn't have to use significant amounts of pain killers, which was good. I hope you get some answers and can figure out what is going on. [/QUOTE]
