SleeplessNY,

Oh I am so sorry you have this challenge going on with your wife. What comes to my mind with the age factor is I am wondering if she is going through menopause because hormonal balance can really affect moods and some women have a real hard time sleeping and with mood swings etc. She should have her hormone levels checked, she should also have her thyroid checked too, thyroid issues can come about at that age too.

The way you described her attack sounded like a stroke, did they test for that? Can you talk to her doctor and possibly get another brain scan done? It has been a couple of years, something that didn't show up before might show up now.

When was her last gynecological exam? I cannot stress enough how important it is to make sure she has her hormone levels checked.

Welcome to PC, you are welcome to come and vent etc whenever you need to.

Maybe someone else will have more suggestions to consider. Be patient, a lot depends on who happens to be on and happens to see your thread.

(((Caring Hugs)))
