A member asked:
Grandma doesn't talk and sleeps all the day she has alzheimer's disease hypothyrodism and had brain strokes before so what may be causing this?

Grandma's symptoms: Your grandmother needs to be evaluated by a physician, preferably a neurologist. Her symptoms are compatible with a new stroke, hypothyroidism that may need a higher dose of synthyroid or a progression of her alzheimer's. Good luck.
