I almost forgot my login and password.I have avoided being here as I have had so many changes.My husband has been put on Seroquel.The neurologist wants to tread lightly because of the medicines he takes for parkinsons.He has good days and bad.Is not able to accept that he is unable to go places by himself.He was told to stay out of the sun and yesterday he sat out and was unable to us his motor skills as was needed.He was delussional and his perception goes off with out warning.The temper reminds me of a spoiled child that cannot have his way. Mother has no good days.Tomorrow we start her on the same medicine the use for hyperactive children.Hope fully we will see some improvement.Her wanting to go home is more intense than ever.The giberish is almost none.When my daghter asked her what number comes before 15 she said 14 with no hesitation.Because of her behavior she is getting tension tightness in the back of her head near the neck.She wandered out this morning, first in so long.She has been none stop for 5 days and nights.Wanting to go home, hollering mother, and help, help.If I say we will go home in the morning , she asks , what time.If I tell her a time she gives me a hard time.If I tell her her mother is not home at that moment , that does not hold ice.She repeats more now than ever.She has an excellent appetite.She co operates with my daughter most of the time.But she does accuse her of the same things she does me.My aunt is good mentally but physically she has gone down hill.If she is not in pain she is experiencing stiffness.We are to begin a new medicine tomorrow.The one she has been taking dd nothing and caused a rash all over her body.The poor circulation has been her down fall.With all that has been going on and my lack of answers I felt I could be of on assistance to anyone on the forum.While going through the initial changes with my husband I could not deal with any thing that had to do with care giving.When I came here and saw what so many of you were experiencing I was unable to respond because I was dealing with much of the same and seeing the posts seemed to enhance my feelings of helplessness.There were days when I had a bug you know where and that would not benefit any one.I have no idea when and where ths journey will end.There were nights when I wanted to put mother and husband in a sound proof room and forget about them.my aunt was also in so much pain she was calling me 2 and 3 times a night.Instead of coming to the forum I have tried doing things that I like to do to rid my self of the anger and feelings that have been so powerful.Working in the yard is good.Any thing that is physical frees me mentally.If I did not have the help of my daughter, I would not be able to continue this journey.

Opiniated, thank you for the thought.My doctor is on vacation so I have not been to her yet.I have been good for the past three days .But when it returns it is awful.The worst feeling.Drives me up a wall.Many times it takes me down.Also makes me so depressed and weak like I have missed a meal.
Hopefully she returns on Monday and I can set up an appointment.If I eat, it only helps for a short time.Gee, if I eat every time I have this feeling I will tip the scales.

Mae,
I'm prone to stomach ulcers and they feel like that to me. When I have one, there's a gnawing feeling if my stomach is empty and it gets better the second there's some food in there.

Maybe you're having the same trouble. I'm glad you're going to see a doc. If it is an ulcer, there's a simple antibiotic if it's a bug causing it, or just six weeks of something like Tagamet or Pepsid will heal it if it's from excess acid due to stress and worry. Hope you feel better soon. :-)

I have to call the doctor as it drives me crazy.

Great idea. One week is long enough to wait and see. Take care of yourself, you are precious to us! XOXOXO

Bunnysgrl, I take no meds except Paxil .No paine meds for my back as it causes the same reaction.But it stopped once a certain time period was over.
I have a super sensitive stomach because of IBS.With my IBS
I have to watch what I put in my stomach
I had this, like I do now many years ago.I recall being tested and then given a stomach relaxer.
I am going to call the doctor and see what we can find.It is the worst feeling.
It also robs me of all my energy and makes me depressed.
I know the fact that I am not eating as I should does not help.Do not have the desire to cook like I did when I had others.
The two things you mentioned came to mind.
Yesterday, I went to wawa and bought a donut, which I never eat.Once I ate that I was good until late last evening.
An awful feeling for me.Takes me down

Mae it could be a number of things but the one thing that comes to mind is Type 2 Diabetes after that its meds that you are taking that could cause this also if you are on Diabetes meds they could be the culprit.
After that have your Thyroid checked.
Lets see what others think

I want some suggestions on a problem I am experienceing.I seem to have this feeling of being hungry all the time.Like my tummy is having spasms.
Just began last week.Had it years ago and forgot what the cause was.Any suggestions .I have to call the doctor as it drives me crazy.
Maybe thyroid or over acid tummy.Any ideas.
I recall a time when my mother had these symptoms .Because I knew the feelings I could relate to her.Forgot what she took.Maybe Donnatol.
I get the same weakness as if I had not eaten all day or had my protein.

DianaT, sorry to hear of the continued challenges you face.
When my loved ones would get waste on their hands and finger nails, I would get abasin , with soap in it and have them soak their hands.That was the only way I was sure they were completely clean.
I had more then my fair share of caca on the hands and every place imaginable.

Mae {{{HUGS}}}

Mae, I add my hugs to you too.

My husband isn't too good. Stomach problems and was wetting (etc.) the floors often. Had some fever too but today is better. As he soils his hands and isn't too easy to clean the nails, I think he got a bug from his own mess.

Yesterday and today needed to go out to work and hate to left him with somebody else when sick. Then, tomorrow is a big holiday and we will have another one on Monday so I know if may need a doctor will be almost imposible to find one. I already called his doctor as in on vacations.

{{{{{Big Hugs}}}}} to you, Mae.

Mae, I am sending warmest hugs to you. Even in the middle of summer it must seem like a cold day. I know you miss them. They had the best ever CG on their side while they were here.

Today would have been my hubbies 78th birthday.This time last year he was doing so good and never would I have believed it would be the last birthday we celebrated together. He would have loved an ice cram cake for his birthday.One of his favorites.
What some may not understand is I would give all to be doing what I did.I miss all the things that made my day have meaning.
I miss all 3 of my loved ones more themn words can say.

Happy Independence Day to all of you. We are Lost in Outer Space but when needed, we put our feet in USA soil, the best!

Diana, so nice to see you enjoyed some positive in your life.

Dear Diana,
I am so happy that you went out to these celebrations! It feels so good to get out and have a nice time, and it is good for you!

How is Roberto doing?

Something good to share:

Last week was Lawyers Week. On Wednesday we celebrated Roberto 50 Anniversary. The only daughter that cares about him is in the Island for vacations (an accident, she didn't knew). I invited her and she went.

They projected a huge photo of Roberto in a wall (as the ones of his peers). About 15 went to the activity. One idiot tried to ruined the evening. When I said to another lawyer that I am Roberto's wife, he came from nowhere and "corrected" me. Said that his wife is the "ex". I just answered with a No Sir, I AM THE WIFE and turned around. Didn't wait for an answer.

I gave the proclaim to Roberto and he asked for his glasses, He read his name and said "For me! That was great.

Yesterday evening I received a plaque and a party from one of my clients. It was a "surprise", but someone make a mistake and I received an e-mail for the employees annoucing the reunion. It was great, I did my hair, put my best dress and was veeeeery surprised with the party. No matter it was day time they served mimosas and a few goodies that I love.

A toast for all of you, my friends.

Diana, it is sad the extent people will go for money.They sell their souls.People like that are out to destroy anyone to get what they want.But you know such with all you have been through.Plus the courts are not always on your side.
I wonder how they sleep at night.Just tramp on anyone who gets in your way.
Some people have hutsba

What a stupid, stupid person!
She must be, to ask you to do this!
I do not think it is a mental illness that she suffers from; I think she is an IDIOT!

Hi every one!!! Can't send sunshine,some of you are dealing with higher temps than me...

A short of update to tell you that my husband exwife was trying to get a letter from me to commit fraud. She was planning to ask for gevernment aid for SS beneficiaries alleging that she was married to my husband. Wanted a letter from me telling that I was a legal guardian from this person (but no the wife) and that I was letting her make some changes in the utilities that are still in my husband name. Or are plainly morons (she and my SIL that was behind her) or both has a mental illness.
