Mother normally wakes daily at 5-6. She doesn’t remember being awake yesterday until 3 pm. She awoke to baking cookies and cleaning the stove. Her doctor changed her diabetes meds, and it hasn’t been working very well. Her sugar ranges between 180-300, no matter what she eats. She does tend to hide away in her house (20 ft from my back door). She does have problems with finding right words and gets frustrated. I’m considering making her move back into my house, but she doesn’t want to. But I’m pretty sure she’s scared. She sleeps a lot, too. Help please.
Call her doctor NOW and ask instructions.
It's ridiculous for laymen here on an internet forum to be diagnosing your mother! She needs to be seen immediately by a qualified doctor, in person, to determine what's going on with her. Anything else anyone tells you, including me, is a mere guess and should be taken with a grain of salt. Like BarbBrooklyn said originally, "A change in mental status (at any age) is a medical emergency. Call her doctor NOW and ask instructions."
Wishing you the best of luck getting a real diagnosis for what's going on with your mom.
"There is no treatment for transient global amnesia (TGA). The condition resolves on its own within 24 hours."
So I read this to mean, exactly what I said, it could be a one time thing.
