Mom is not eating much at all, drinking very little and is on comfort care at the nh. Yesterday when I visited she slept the entire time. The NH called today and said she was complaining of nausea at lunch. They did get her to eat a little ice cream. The dr. prescribed anti-nausea medicine. Does end stage vascular dementia have this symptom? She has lost so much weight and is not able to sit up anymore. I absolutely hate seeing her like this.
View 4 RepliesMy grandfather is taking one and he is becoming way worse and just lays in bed all day and doesn't eat anything at all. And looks like he''s going to die soon. Only reason why I'm asking this question here too is because he has Alzheimer's too.
View 1 RepliesMy mom is eating less and less everyday. I have been trying all kinds of food to eat, and only polish sausage and potato chips seem to work. When all else fails I give her a scoop of Ice cream in some glaucoma. Last night she had a ice cream cone and mashed potatoes for dinner. The Doctor told me to give her whatever she will eat.
She will go to the bathroom to make a bowel movement, and I help her when she is finish, but she holds her urine all day and she goes in her diaper while she is sleep. She wears depends during the day. She doesn't seem to be in any pain, and she is not agitated.
She underlines the words in her Dr. seuss books and plays with her doll. Her toes and foot have spasms as well as her hands, and its hard for her to snap her night gown. Its takes her a while to recognize me or other family members. She doesn't have many words left and i have to show her what to do. She went to bed without her meds because she kept trying to suck and chew the pill and she spit it out in the toilet and rinsed her mouth with the water in the cup. (LOL) This happened twice. Medicare only gives me 30 days worth of medicine.
My problem is I want to stop sending my mom to the adult center, because she will not let them feed her and she will not eat. She just sleeps, and doesn't participate and any activities. Shes stays 4 hours enough time for me to do whatever I want. I am retired and 53 yrs old, I can do this.
My family helps on weekends, but they seem to think she needs to socialize. They do not see her slump in a chair staring and looking weak with dried lips, and seeming depressed thinking she is going to stay there. I can't stand it anymore. I kept her home for two days and it takes two hours, but I got food, water and meds in her.
I let her sleep as long as she needs too, and every hour or so I offer her something to eat and encourage her to sip a drink from her cup. I walk her around the house and we look at the flowers. I have a nice wheel chair that medicare provided and my friends come along to help me run errands.
I don't need to send her away to be with other dementia people, cause I have support, and don't work. Today I called the social worker to request in home care for three days a week and 4 hours each day. Because I think at this stage she needs one on one stimulation and quiet. She sits in her chair at the window and sleep. The doctor told me her dementia is very severe and she needs 24 hour care and requested to see her in 4 months.
She is 71 years old. This all started in 2002 when dad died. She became very depressed, and in 2007 she started getting lost and not paying her bills, and doctor also says there were signs of mini strokes, and she is type 2 diabetes.I know my mother is not going to get better, but I want her to feel safe and secure. My sibling are all younger than me, and have jobs and children in school. I retired and moved back here to take care of things and my three little sisters are scared of whats happening. I don't know what's next but I and here for them and her.
Over the last few months I've been randomly getting nauseated. It usually lasts a day or two and only has actually caused me to vomit a few times. However recently it has become more severe, and more common and even more recently has become paired with an uncomfortable dizziness and weakness in my legs. My mother believed it was morning sickness so I took a pregnancy test which proved negative and haven't missed any periods in the 3 months since I was last sexually active so I'm fairly certain I am not pregnant.

View 1 RepliesI am still continuing to feel nausea - especially in my throat area. Just had a second Gastroscope, good news is that my esophagus is healed not a grade 2 burned like it was back in Oct 2012, bad news Gastritis is still there. I really don't get abdomen pain but I really get this horrible taste and nausea feeling in my throat starting from the back of my upper palate going down. I saw my ent again and he said he could find nothing malignant nothing at all.
I even saw an Oral Pathologist whop said same thing - I know candida comes to mind but she said I have none of that.
So question is what is causing this? It's everytime I eat, no matter what even crackers that feeling of yuck like you feel like you want to vomit.
Any insight?
ps I have done an ultrasound and ct scan of abdomen, nothing found back in March for the record other than small polyps in gallbladder measuring 5 mm which again all docs dismiss as not being an issue.
Also had ct x ray done on lung and thorax area no abnormalities.
Had a lymph node biopsy as well, all they said was hyperplasma lymph node.
For the past couple of weeks I've been having some mild nausea most days than not. It doesn't last very long but does come and go throughout the day and it doesn't affect what I can and cannot eat. It doesn't seem related to food, smells, etc. just totally random. The very first time I felt nauseous was after smelling some nutmeg and that time I felt like I was going to throw up. Since then, every episode has been very minor.
I eat fairly healthy. Organic foods, very little dairy, cutting down on wheat, lots of veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, spring mix, carrots, etc.), not too much meat (often just chicken). One thing I eat quite a bit of is Japanese sweet potatoes, sliced and baked (sometimes with the inside of the skin getting black). I also exercise quite often (biking, running, weight training, etc.)
My main concern is that I could possibly have stomach cancer. Is this possible? I've read the other symptoms but it seems like they're only obvious once the cancer is in the later stages.
Or could it be something else? And if so, what would cause such minor nausea with no other apparent symptoms?
Cruddy gallbladder, ejection fraction of 20 percent, going to the surgeon soon. But I'm at my wits end with the queasiness. I've hit the point where slight nausea is a constant rather than an occasional gripe. Anyone dealt with this kind of slight, but uncomfortable, nausea and a nonfunctional gallbladder? Any advice for the next couple weeks to help mitigate it?
And tell me that once your gallbladder was gone, so was the nausea.
I'm only 40 so hadn't really thought menopause was on the way but I'm getting lots of nausea especially around time of my period - thought I was pregnant but not - I read a few things about nausea and perimenopause just wondered if anyone had this experience?
