[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 180864, member: 84"] If she was my family. First thing I'd have done is an MRI to check for TIA or stroke. (can cause blood thinning due to the bleeding involved) Then I'd have her kidney function tested. (whole different thing from Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)) The patch may just be too much for her. Drugged up to the hilt while it's working, and perky and fine just as it's about to be changed for the new patch. Could that be what's going on? Heck mother in law is down for the count with just a simple dose of phenogren (sp). Those medications can knock the elderly for a loop if you don't know how to prescribe them properly for that age group. I was also wondering how much the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is contributing. Low O2 levels in the brain can also cause alot of the behavior you're seeing. Get a 2nd opinion asap!
