is this a on line chat room for help with caring for an elderly parent?????????

Erin, there are numerous posts about the pros and cons of seroquel. I do not have any experience with that med, but if you go to "Find" and type in seroquel it will show you many posts. I hope you will introduce your self in the"new caregivers meeting room so the your thread will stand alone and not be buried here. Tell us who you are caring for.

has anyone had problems with their parent on seroquil??

Welcome Bevie! MB is right, this is so much more than an online chat room. You will learn alot here and share many things with many people who are going through similar situations. This forum is great!

Welcome, bevie. Glad you found your way here.
No, this is not an online chat room. This is a full site devoted to eldercare. We have much information here, accessible from the front page, a forum with many message boards arranged in general topics. There is a chat room here that is not monitored nor moderated. It's simply there as a social tool for members.

The REAL support at ECO is here in the forums. Introducing yourself is a great way to start - tell us a little about yourself and your loved one. Ask questions, unload worries, discuss problems - we're all here to help.

Bevie, as Mumbo pointed out, to introduce yourself in the new caregivers guide, or any where else for that matter, but posting in the forum, rather than just the chat room, will bring you in contact with many who can help and have responses to your issues, that you may never meet in the chat room.

It might be that they are in a different time zone, or have duties that interfer with chatting. Take your time, I, and many others are waiting to meet you and hear about your situation. Believe me, people here will greet you and respond with anything that may help you. Don't feel limited to the real time chat room.

You are welcome here and we want to know how to help. Sometimes the best way to survive is to help. Your situation and responses to it will help readers and members. Allow us to help you, sometimes helping others is what gets us through the day. Just jump right in.

Hi Bevie, I am so glad you came to the chat room. You will be meeting many fine people here. If you have a few minutes, please use this forum to introduce yourself to everyone and tell them about your Mom and Husband as you told me in the chatroom. That will give everyone a chance to meet you and introduce themselves to you. Just write what you told me and any of your concerns about caregiving. There are many who will relate to what you are going through. Again, welcome and you ARE in the right place. Now, get typing. mumbolus
