[QUOTE="nvts, post: 80317, member: 3814"] [img]:sword:[/img] Hi gg! I'm going out on a limb because I don't have the experience like the people on here that suffer from the pain of neuromuscular disorders, etc. I swear, I might complain about stuff, but never in my life would I EVER claim to "understand" their pain. To me (by the description), Janet and Marg and many others on CD are hero's for living what to me would be a nightmare. HOWEVER: We may have lost sight of gg's problem by feeling passionate about our situations vs. the questions at hand. (I say this purely without disrespect OR disregard for anyone!). From a "detached" opinion: I would say that gg knows her mom for who she's always been and her gut is telling her that SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT. Quite often, we've advised that people go with their gut. When it comes to difficult child's we've researched, fought, cajoled, etc. when we feel that someone's blowing smoke up our "pattooties". GG: if something's not right, then something's not right. She could be suffering from depression, addition, dependency, dimentia, early onset altzheimers, etc. The medications could be helping or hindering. If YOU don't feel that things are right, you owe it to yourself and your mom to go with her to her next doctors visit, sit in the exam room and ask anything you damn well please. This is NOT a shot at any of the husband's on the board: Dad's probably so terrified watching the love of his life deteriorate that he's frozen. He doesn't know what to do, who to talk to, what's up, what's down. You didn't mention your parents age, but he's watching the one constant presence in his life drift away. He's scared. Again, no disrespect to anyone intended...sometimes it seems that I step-back and analyze a little too much and unintentionally offend. Beth [/QUOTE]
