My poor husband has Alzheimer's and I am finding that caring for him and lifting him is desperately exhausting for me. Could you recommend a pick-me- up which would give me some energy?
Unfortunately, there are no such things as genuine pick-me-ups, ma'am. But what I would strongly suggest is you ask your GP if she can arrange some respite care, during which your husband would go into accommodation while you get a much-deserved rest. More information is available from the excellent Alzheimer's Disease Society on www.alzheimers.org.uk
