Hi all
My mum is 57 not old at all but she can hardly walk without getting out of breath.
She literally crawls up her stairs to get to bed.
Her hands / fingers hardly open ( gp has said this is poor circulation ) Although i think is artheritis
She has lost stones in weight due to thyroid medication being to strong ( this is now being changed )
In the past 10 days she has fell three times, last Thur she damaged the ligament in her leg, Last night she fell again and has cut / scratched her face.
She has had on going problems like the above for the past 3 years but no specific diagnosis has been made.
She has also had bouts of bronchitis
She lives with My daughter 20 and my granddaughter who is 2. My daughter doesnt tell me the half of it and i work full time doing shifts so find it hard to see mum more than once a week.
Im meeting up with her this afternoon and i have made an apt for Our Doctors next week. I know she will not be happy but im not sure if there is something she isnt telling us or if she isnt telling the Dr the true extent of her falling etc.
Not sure why im psting but have to let it out as i love my mum and want to wrap her in cotton wool x
