I've had the most success, no cure though, in keeping my allergic rhinitis under control using XLEAR Nasal Wash, a spray from a company in Utah. It can be found on-line, and I think in some...
Hi Gizzy'n me. In the beginning of the years I took care of my mother, there was so much to do because everything had gone to pot after my dad died, so I was just getting things back in shape. Mom...
That's quite a load to carry from birth. The Cerebral Palsy would be bad enough, but to have it be spastic as well. Are you in a wheel chair? Don't know if anything I have is related to birth. I was...
When I was a kid back in the late '30s to '50s, kids weren't getting the the kinds of things that affect so many now. Nor were the young adults. I think many of the things affecting us now are...
It really amazes me the number of conditions, diseases, or whatever that so many people are dealing with now. I remember when there was just a handful of things people got. It wasn't like it is now....
I'm sorry for your poor grandmother, and the family. I know how hard this is for you. I learned, while taking care of my mother, that anything different from her normal routine would throw her off....
When my doctor asks me "Do you have pain anywhere?" I reply, "Well, my left foot feels pretty good. So do my ears." And that's pretty much the way it is. I credit my childhood for helping me live...
Hi Harriet. I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for, but I'll offer what I can. I've never looked back on those years with Mom with regret for anything, except the few times (and it was only a...
Bella33 - I think you're on the right track. I take Centrum Silver, Super B Complex, and B12 daily. I'm 75, and find it makes a big difference in how I'm feeling, compared to when I stop for a few...
My mom laughed a lot. She had a beautiful laugh. She was able to see the humor in so much of what she was doing, and our laughing together about such things made the horror of it all somehow more...
When I was caring for my mother, there was an article in the AD Newsletter about placing a dark rug in front of the door to keep those suffering with the disease from getting out. I put one in front...
I've suffered from sinus allergy and infections my whole life, and really sympathize with you. I'd tried many things, and years ago I had a horrible attack, and went into a small shop in the mall...
I started having palpitations in my early forties. Tests showed nothing wrong. So I lived with it. Got a new boss, and the problem went away. Then several years ago, having gone through three torn...
Learning from my own experience, I'd say that if you haven't seen a lung specialist, you should. For nine years I went through hell with my lungs, being told by the doctors I'd seen in those years...
Thank you Sherry. I came to realize while caring for my mother, that AD is the most terrible disease there is. Not only for what it does to those suffering from it, but for what the family goes...
Sorry about your dad Sarah Louise. I've been called several things for having given up everything I had to take care of my mother, but amazing wasn't one of them. I thank you for that, but I'm not...
It's good that your mother is still so active. My mother wasn't active at all when I began to care for her. The first thing I did was start a walking program each morning before breakfast. In no time...
My mother had Alzheimer's, and died at 91. Two of my sisters, aged 75 and 79, also had it and died in 2011. Another sister died at 58 from Amyloidosis. I also have a Down Syndrome nephew. I took an...
