Hello again
First and foremost ALZHEIMER'S AND DEMENTIA ARE NOT MENTAL ILLNESSES.
They are in fact a medical problem.
Now if someone, doctor, psychiatrist etc.. try to tell you differently. Tell them they are lying to you. It is in fact the psychotropic drugs that they are giving to your loved one's that cause all of the problems associated with a mental illness.
And second if someone tries to tell you that they cannot tell if someone has Dementia or Alzheimer's until after they die and do an autopsy. Again tell them they are lying to you. Yes 5-10 years ago this was true, but not anymore A simple P.E.T. Scan can tell you the answer. Make sure you insist that your loved one gets this test done before any label is attached to them. Their might be an underlying medical condition. Which can be treated.
And if anyone tells you there is no treatment for Alzheimer's and Dementia. Again tell them that they are lying to you. There is more and more organic treatments available today. As in Vitamins, Herbal remedies and supplements.
Now I have not written in a while as I have a serious concussion. Cause by repeatedly being bashed in the head by this bar, a solid steel bar in my mother's bedroom. It is used to wrap a strap around mom and put her to bed. Now, the first thing I do when I get mom to her bedroom at night for her spa treatment is to raise this bar as high as will go and constantly ask the staff to raise this bar up so as I do not keep walking into it.
This is the cause of my blackouts and I need to get rest and be watchful of myself/.
Secondly, I have taken Anti depressant medication for 6 years now, and many of them at that. 6 different one's. And a week and a half ago. My prescriptions ran out. And I have a serious have a problem with going to the walk in clinic and sit for an hour or more, only to be transferred to the doctor's room and waiting longer to be in their 5 minutes.
So I have been withdrawing from these drugs. I am, however feeling more clear headed and am loosing weight, as if I need to loose anymore. I don't know what it is like to feel normal for a change.
Yes I do, but it has been a very long time.
Oh yea the doctor at the hospital told me in no uncertain terms that I have to take care of myself, eat properly. I told him that this would be a very nice dream, but I get five, yes five dollars to live on a month, after my rent is paid. And doctor, I said. I cannot even cash the cheque,as it will cost me 2.50 just to do this. So I have no money for groceries.
I guess I will see you again Doc.
I need to go for now. I do have allot to write about.
Oh yea, I have been afraid to do anything at the hospital, as I did not want to be banned from their.
But this is not me. The real me. So if any attempt to ban me or cause me or my mother problems. I will just have to just go to the RCMP and report it.
GOD bless and good night
Kris
