My mother is 65 and for the past 25 years has told us countless times she is dying. She has pain, and swelling and says her body is burning. She has lived and extremely sedentary life during that time. She has also always had an anxiety and depression disorder but refuses the accept it. She won t take meds for it or of she does she takes it for a short period of time and stops..in fact, she does that with every medication. She has been on tons of things while DR s try To figure out what is wrong but she won t take anything consistently or long enough. She has diabetes which could be diet controlled but she won t change her diet. It s hard to get any real answers out of her other than she hopes she makes it through the weekend. She is on am exist reducer but says that doesn t help. She gets frequent yeast infections. She was told to stay away from yeast but doesn t really follow anything strictly. She retired last year and started exercising for the first time in 30 years and was doing great, then she got the flu and stopped exercising, pain came back and she just fights with anyone that tries to help her. We don t think she is crazy cause I ve seen the swelling BUT her depression and anxiety are part of what is hurting her. Recently she had a rash on her gave and when she asked her Doc she sis he Said you have an appt with the rheumatologist right? And left it at that. She doesn t ask what that means. She lives 800 miles away and I ve asked for a list of her meds to try and help but nothing yet.
