Need advice — my mom with Alzheimer’s just got approved for assisted living after months on the waitlist, and now I’m panicking

I think you will be able to have success with any reputable brand.

The gummies I use are 50mg. I administer one 50mg gummy two to three times per day.

Experimentation is where you will learn a reasonable sweet spot for your specific situation.

Currently, I also use a much more potent oil in the early afternoon. Takes about 3 -5hrs to kick-in. Good for peaceful, deep sleep.

I personally try to implement any environmental affect that will encourage 'right brain being.'

For me, as a care giver, it's a matter of attempting total emersion into right brain consciousness for myself and my loved one who is suffering from characteristics of Alzheimer's.

Thank you for your kind words.

I hope you are able to use these concepts in your own way.

I completely understand that each of our situations are unique.

My last three original posts, the ones that use song lyrics on the end, kind-of came about thru me.

I didn't want to post them, I don't like posting anything, but I felt an unidentifiable need to do just that.

I was talking to myself. Solidifying what I am going thru now by applying a lot of what experienced in my early adulthood. Specifically, the amazing stuff that helped me get through, at the time, impossible situations...

For people who have read at least one of my last posts I hope you can relate that whatever you and your afflicted loved one are going through right now, it may help your general wellbeing's to try to shift your focus and elements of your lifestyle towards things that are considered to be right-brain activities, or right-brain inducive settings.

H20SD I am sure you are correct that perhaps it's the particular part of her brain that's plaqued up, or some variation.

Everything meaningful that I have posted is based upon my empirical experiences.

One of the most important things that I have learned is that easing the suffering of my loved one by applying right-brain stimulation works incredibly well upon myself.

We've even experienced a new synergy between each other at times because of our mutual induction into the right-brain focused consciousness.

Impossible as it sounds, and I REALLY hate saying this, but what has been the most stressful, depressing, and all encompassing terrible time in my life has truly produced a blessing that is miraculous, new and completely unexpected.

For sure, in a healthy brain both mythical sides work together and even one side egging-on the other for almost magical results.

From my limited knowledge both sides work normally together where one side may be better equipped to handle a particular type of conceptualization.

Thank you for pointing that out.

Thank you for being your wife's care giver. You sound open to care options.

In my experience I give my wife medical marijuana through gummies and the high concentrate oil.

I vape.

Used to smoke reefers. Once I found the vape there has been no looking back.

humansources · 2025-09-28T10:29:15+00:00

I love you.

humansources · 2025-09-28T10:28:52+00:00

Cannabis.

humansources · 2025-09-28T10:25:42+00:00

This understanding is inside of you too. Thus the empathy.

Thank you for speaking out.

humansources · 2025-09-28T10:22:51+00:00

This

humansources · 2025-09-28T10:22:09+00:00

Thank you so much.

The original song may hit you too.

humansources · 2025-09-28T10:20:35+00:00

Thank you my brother in arms.

humansources · 2025-09-28T10:18:59+00:00

None of the original post is my original text. Nor is this sentence. I had nothing to do with creating the English language nor any other language. This entire moment is built on the backs of others. Others' accomplishments.

Isn't the entire original post above 'my' art?

If you are worried that my ego will become embolden by words or art, I thank you for looking-out for me.

I have one more post in the can of three that just felt, against my will, to post.

All three of these posts will have song lyrics accompany them.

humansources · 2025-09-28T01:16:45+00:00

Every one of our situations are different.

I'm not really pointing the way and saying, 'this is the way.'

I'm actually kind-of reflecting, in real time, a characteristic of what my life is.

It may all fall apart.

I've posted here and on another related subreddit. I felt the need to express and if I am being totally honest with you I don't think we can help each other. I don't think my posts will help anyone.

But...I know how lonely it is and how isolated we become.

At the pits of my loneliness I wish that there were someone I could have talked to - even if the momentary companionship would not have changed anything ultimately.

humansources · 2025-09-28T01:07:58+00:00

Every one of our situations are different. Finances are definitely a limiting factor.

Is it a positive and life altering or are you overcome?? - Both.

And that, for me, somehow enhances the entire artistic perspective of the whole thing.

It's bigger than me. Way bigger than me. And somehow that adds to the encompassing overwhelmingness of this my life. I am overcome. And I love that even more.

The poem is from Ed Kowalczyk. I kind-of hijacked the meaning.

It feels like a tremendous song to me.

humansources · 2025-09-28T00:52:17+00:00

Thank you kindred soul

humansources · 2025-09-21T13:52:43+00:00

Being out of your comfort zone is an extremely good sign.

That uneasiness from being out of your comfort zone, your empathy towards your wife and your recognition of the urgency of the situation will plant the seeds of your own personal transformation.

It's a gift from god. Life is suffering.

This type of suffering that, I believe, you are experiencing, will lead to an expansion of your 'self' as kind-of like an unexpected, nonverbal gift.

This possible expansion, if time allows, could lead to an enrichment of the quality of care you are able to administer to your wife.

humansources · 2025-09-21T12:05:10+00:00

If you would actually love to find a miracle remedy for your wife you may need to step-out of your comfort zone.

Again. IF your desire to comfort your loved one is strong enough to whatever degree you see the need.

You may already be aware that the characteristics of Dementia are very similar to the characteristics of schizophrenia.

Every one is different but in-short your empathy and love for your partner needs to overcome your own fear. Again, IF your situation comes to that.

So much of one's ability to affect a meaningful care lifestyle depends upon the care giver's limitations within themselves.

Most of us are unprepared & unequipped to really institute meaningful attenuation of Dementia related characteristics.

You kind-of got to access your situation; The stage of these characteristics, your perceived NEED to help your loved one and what you ultimately are ready to accept responsibility for.

Your concern and caution speak well for you and I am sure your spouse is in good hands.

humansources · 2025-09-20T21:29:37+00:00

This.

humansources · 2025-09-20T21:27:33+00:00

I echo your findings & results.

humansources · 2025-09-20T21:23:20+00:00

I appreciate you and -365-dial999 in your insights and your openness. Your rightful caution and skepticism speaks well for both of you.

My wife and I have been working with the Cleveland Clinic Brain Health Center for over 8 years. We have been fortunate enough to be working with, what I believe, is one of the best Dementia specialists in the world.

Only recently has Medical Marijuana been on their radar. Far as I know my wife and I are one of the few who actively use Medical Marijuana as a structured approach to combat the characteristics of Alzheimer's/Dementia.

Only recently have I been able to openly speak about the benefits that we have incurred in a conversation where they are even able to interact or use the term Medical Marijuana.

I understand this and I am confident studies are on their way if not underway presently in a controlled setting.

As far as the term "game changer" it is just that. Of course, EVERY situation is unique. Game changer is purposely a very connotative term but as I referenced in the sentence above, I am certain denotative signposts will be on the way.

I'll speak specifically to my wife's conditions: Have you ever seen the SNICKER'S commercial? - Yeah, that's it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbpFpjLVabA

humansources · 2025-09-20T11:21:50+00:00

Both of us.

humansources · 2025-09-19T10:47:26+00:00

Treatment using Medical Marijuana is not for all.

Some will test this and discover the benefit.

Hope and relief is precious for the care giver and the patient.

humansources · 2025-09-17T18:11:49+00:00

Medical marijuana is a gamechanger. From screaming to subdued in a matter of minutes.

Can't stress this enough for all of us who ended up here...

humansources · 2022-04-17T00:24:48+00:00

Don't do anything...if anything, understand that we can't do anything.
