Go speak to your mother/father or caretaker.  They should know that this has started for any future health concerns.  They will be able to point you in th direction of what you should do next.

nicely tell her the same.  "mom, i'd be more comfortable with a lady doing that."  i've ALWAYS had a woman ob/gyn and that's so cool to me.  i'm 26 and i will till i'm 76.  it's a good idea, but, baby, you gotta be straight with your mom and tell her - no man down there yet.  she'll be cool, VERY cool, with that.  btw - there's a shot coming out soon you should get to Prevent HPV, which millions of women have these days.  go for it. good luck with momma.

I hope your mom starts feeling better soon!  \n\nAs for Celiac Disease and Gluten Free ... to start out, your mother will need to eat simple foods with minimum seasonings, additives, etc.  The more natural and non-processed the better. Her gut needs time to heal.\n\nThis is a good time to educate your self on the many places where gluten may "hide."   Natural Flavorings can sometimes hide gluten grains, especially barley.  Watch out for anything labeled "Malt."\n\nVinegars -- even those which are not derived from gluten grains can be very hard to handle for new Celiacs -- but after the gut has had time to heal, these can be included.  Apple cider and balsalmic vinegars  are fine -- watch for anything that is a flavored vinegar or which is malted.  \n\nAll foods, beverages, medications (over the counter and Rx) will need to be checked and verified as gluten free.  ANything that can end up in the mouth needs to be looked at as suspect.  \n\nwww.celiac.com has some good info -- in particular, look for the Safe/Forbidden Lists -- these are the "strange" ingredients that sometimes have gluten.  \n\nGood luck

Oh No :( ..\nI would definetly call at least her doctor, and see what  he suggests. If he knows her wishes are to die at home,and not in a Hospital, at least he may be able to give you some suggestions. That is just terrible, and I am very sorry for you and your family. She must be a very special woman to have lived so long! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I can't tell you just how pleased I am that acupressure worked for your mum, I am an alternative therapist myself, i use acupressure,massage, and herbal medicines and an ex nurse.. People make me so mad when they scoff at this type of treatment but it's powerful stuff. I run a clinic from my home in Ramsgate-Kent. Have you tried acupuncture, my husband couldn't walk his knees were damaged in a car crash but with my therapy and acupuncture he is as good as new and he's 82 years old.There is always hope and I never give up. Has she had a brain scan, if so is there any damage that may be permanent, if so, depending on where the damage is depends on her walking again.If there isn't she's in with a good chance. I am now studying IRIDOLOGY and that's a great form of diagnosis go and see one, they will tell you exactly where the trouble is and then i may be able to help you a bit more.\nContact me on E-Mail: alternative@medicine123.wanadoo.co.uk or tele 01843 588668 and let me know how you get on.\n\nMrs Gloria J Jones (BSYA-SEN)

It is best if she continues to see the doctor for help.  It can be so many things, many of which with the right care can be controlled.\nI was born with a lung disease, but with the right care I can live a good life.

Hello\n\n Boy that's a difficult question and one I am also going through right now with my mother.  I don't think anyone is going to be able to answer this for you and your family, you all know your mom the best.  I can only tell you what we have done.  My mother knows she has lung and heart problems but she really doesn't understand the severity of the problems.  The last time she was hospitalized she had to be put on life support, and the doctors told us she has about 6 months. She is terrified of doctors and hospitals and worries about dying.  She's been really sick for years now.  As a family we decided not to tell her what the doctors said because she gets so scared and we want her to get the most out of the time she has left without being scared and worring all the time.  So only your family knows enough about how your mother to make this decision.  Is she the kind of person who would want to get her affairs in order or would it only add to her suffering.  I hope this helps some. Good luck and God bless.

Spend time with her, help her with life's small stuff, and help her be calm while you wait for the outcome. We are handling my father's lung cancer. He won't let on, but he is scared. So, we, his 5 kids, + my mom spend as much time being around him "talking about regular stuff" in between all of the doctor's appointments, etc.  It helps to make him feel needed- not like we're babysitting him. So, my sisters and I ask him random "gardening questions" and other things that he likes to do. It helps take his mind off of the constant waiting for test results and next therapies. Be a good kid, no matter how old you are. Our dad is 75, so we're not teeny boppers any more, either. It's nice to have a parent feel like a good parent, regardless of age.\n(www.TheDorkyMom.com)

I'm going to post an answer I wrote for a similar question many weeks ago - I hope it helps:\n\n"...is she going to die?"\n\nI can't help you with the average survival time. Doctors and Cancer Research Center websites can give you all of the specifics. I can tell you, however, not to get bogged down with statistics. Statistically speaking, the chances may be low. But you can't focus on the numbers.  My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma almost 6 years ago.   Them he was diagnosed with testicular cancer about a year and a half ago.  If we would have listened to survival 'statistics' either time, he would have been dead in spirit before he even started treatment.  Make sure you and your mom stay focused on complete healing.

Living with Mom isn't working out--and rarely works out for many people.  \n\nWhether you've always lived with her, or you recently moved in with her for whatever reason, I highly recommend you get a place of your own.  You'll never find a wife living with your mother.  Get your personal life in order to the way you want to live it, then bring your mother into your life to care for her when she needs personal care.  Or get a good enough job to hire people to help with her personal care.  \n\nUnderstand your mother's history will help you understand why she worries so much.  It's like having a parent who grew up in the depression.  Her unique life experiences cause her to believe these things are important.    You can understand and respect her without living with her.  It's possible.  I promise.

First, she needs to see her doctor. Let the doctor know how long she has had this wound. Her doctor may refer her to a Wound Center Clinic. Many hospitals have a wound center that you could take her to. They are there to specifically care for wounds that don't heal properly. If your Mother doesn't have a family doctor take her to clinic immediately.

Your mother should be very careful with this.  She possibly may need to go on to medication.  My mother (who is overweight) always experienced blood clots in her legs.  She would treat them as they came/went (with heat and massage) until one traveled up her leg, into her heart (where it loged itself) and pieces began breaking off...one to her brain causing a stroke and one to her lung.  She now take warafin (blood thinners) and is going for weight loss surgery so she won't have to take them anymore.  There is a definite relation between weight and the occurance of clots.\nPlease get your mom to go to her MD...prevention is the best medicine!!  Let me tell you...teaching my mom the alphabet, how to read and write (after the stroke) was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
