I don't think the OP is posting this for professionals. A lot of folks are dealing with loved ones who have this dreadful disease.

I often wonder about the noises and movements. Does anyone else see this in Alzheimer's? What I mean is......mouth noises...sucking, chewing on nothing. Took him to dentist to be sure it's nothing medical......also, obsession with skin...scratching, picking, etc. Dermatologist can't find anything.
This is all new behavior.
