@NatureLover @Shaz51 @Bow @Captain24 @Eve7 @Zoe7 @outlander and anyone else who wants to read a long post!
Just a bit of an update for you all. No pressure to respond nor read it all!
Took mum for a MRI last week. It came back as her brain reducing in size and the start of Dementia. For the last few months she has started forgetting things, will forget what she came in to ask me and having trouble talking to people, so now we have an answer.
She has a Doctors appt. on Tuesday which I will go with her so we can try and get some answers. I have researched it a bit on line but really want to know what the doctor thinks.
She of course is thinking the worse and exaggerates everything and thinks she won't be able to remember anything in a month and will have to go into a home🤦♀️
So it has been very tiring trying to put up with her. Of course she has no one else to say things too so it all comes back onto me. Something I really am not dealing with on top of my own mh issues.
My pdoc wants me to increase one of my meds to see if that helps. He also sent me info on a new medication I could try in case this increase won't help. One of the major side effects is weight gain really don't want to go down that path.
My psych is just about to go on 6 weeks of leave and my pdoc on 3 weeks leave. Of course they overlap each other 😔 So I am very scared and nervous about this and the lack of support I will have. My psych wants me to see someone else whilst she is away but no appointments have been organised. I am on a wait list 🤦♀️
My mh has been on the decline lately and I feel like I am observing all this from the outside. I feel incapable of stopping it. I feel a huge pull towards what my thoughts are telling me to do but at the same time still trying to power through for my family.
If you have read this far than thank you for reading all my blabbering!!
