Ailz points out that my mother started taking codeine round about the time her mind started fogging up. Codeine- an opiate- is notoriously a fogger up of minds. Could the two things be connected?
It could be affecting her. One of the things to watch out for in the elderly is putting vagueness and loss of memory down to "age". Sometimes it's a side effect of medication. Perhaps you could assess what she's taking and why?
She's taking codeine for her legs which were aching- and only last thing at night. I'm wondering whether it hasn't simply become a habit. Are the legs still a problem? I'm not sure.
