4. You or someone should go with her

Have someone going with her MD appointment, to make sure she mentions it and to hear the MDs opinion.

I get cold easily (thyroid condition) and wear layers so I can peel off some clothes if I get warm. I wear thermals or leggings from October into April. I know to remove layers of I get hot. Does she have some cognitive dementia?

Her MD may offer suggestions and enlist your help to investigate and follow a plan. That's my 2 cents, since you wrote you didn't know what to do.

In general, I've been told it's a good idea to have a friend or family with us when we're speaking to the MD about something important or serious.

Hope all goes well from here on.
