My 70 year old mother is currently very sick. She got a urinary tract infection a few days ago (which is fairly common for her), but this one seems to have more staying power than usual. In addition, she is having a bad bout of high blood pressure and hasn't been able to fall asleep for more than 2 hours a day for the past 4 days, as well as nausea and fatigue. She also has a bad flare-up of Candida Albicans (which she has struggled with for decades). She can currently barely eat (all she can tolerate is boiled eggs). She can't talk loudly, and can't move much.
Worse yet, the "medicines" the doctor gave her made her worse (it turns out that they have side effects that can affect the nervous system, and she already doesn't have a good nervous system). She didn't figure this out until she had already taken them. It's a perfect storm of multiple problems at once. I've never seen her like this before.
She went to the hospital, but they wouldn't keep her because they said they don't keep anyone who can walk (even though she was having to grip objects to walk and was shaking).
She said that in her current weakened state, her body can't even process additives in natural supplements (such as fillers in herb capsules), so she can only take supplements that are pure without fillers, additives, etc.
She compiled a list of supplements to order for her, but her handwriting is so bad that I can't make most of them out (I was able to decipher curcumin, oregano oil, and hawthorn berry), and she can't talk well enough to help me figure out the rest.
Does anyone have any advice? And can you please pray for her to heal?
She wound up having to go to the hospital last night. The doctor this time was better than the ones before, and told her that going off of the Clonidine cold turkey like she did was making matters worse, and that she needs to ween herself off, starting with a half dose. They also have her something for nausea and put her on a drip that fixed her dehydration. They still didn't keep her (she didn't meet their criteria to be admitted) and sent her home, but she is feeling somewhat better now. She's not as weak or shaky, and finally got some sleep.
Says they wont admit, difficult to trust those hospitals nowadays
Same outcome..
