Constant Delirium not caused by UTI
Robin is getting delirious day after day. She has been in hospital to be tested for the cause of it and her biochemistry is normal . She also does not have UTI. So my question is . Is it normal for people with Alzheimer to finish up with being delirium constantly ? If not , what can I do to stop it ??

I have given her Hyprex in the past but I don't think it is working, I also gave Robin D- Maltose but I ave used one that does not a PAC rating. I am lo...
