My mom is 5 years past diagnosis of Alzheimer's. This video shows what its like when her synthetic marijuana medication wears off. The medication she is taking is synthetic THC that is available in all 50 states by prescription. Derived from marijuana's natural THC, the Marinol (Dronabinol generic) pills have a remarkable effect on Alzheimer's symptoms.
My mother has osteoporosis so much of her weight is in front of her. Just the slightest trip and she would fall straight on her forehead. She fell hitting her head on concrete 3 times as well as falling at home several times over a 2 year period. My mother has not fallen since starting the pills approx. 19 months ago.
19 months ago I went to the doctor thinking mom was going to need nursing care or a nursing home. I was at the end of my rope. Almost all my moms time was spent wandering back and forth, pacing mindlessly with her hands behind her back. Not only was she falling, she was insistent on saving long since dead relatives from precarious situations. She would have delusions that my Grandpa was outside in the cold in desperate need of my help. I was getting no sleep and wanted to kill myself. Ever since starting the pills that really bad delusional stuff is gone. She takes 2 pills a day 1 in the morning with breakfast, then again at dinner. This is the second video we have made of the late afternoon when the pill starts to wear off.
The pills have given my mom and I another year and a half of reasonable living. I keep coming up with the same word, MIRACLE.
