Pam,

Several people over the years (both male and female) have had this type of

accusation and confided it in me. I think it is related to MSA and is

relatively common at some time during the course of progression for both sexes.

I'm not a shrink, but I feel it is probably a combination of meds, the loss of

control and possiblely even some guilt at taking too much of the freedom of the

caregiver. Caregivers should try to ignore it or reassure the patient that they

still love them.

Another common thing is for the patient to ask the caregiver why they don't just

give up on them and get a boyfriend/girlfriend. Antidepressants may help, talk

to the doctor.

Take care, Bill Werre

This happened with my mother Joyce (71, died 11/5/00) when she was in the

hospital for broken shoulder and ribs and was put on some pain killers.
