My brother is not well: not eating or drinking and too frail to walk unassisted. He’s only 56 but has COPD, diabetes and had a heart attack 6 years ago. He’s also very stubborn and won’t go get checked out. I’m afraid it’s going to come down to calling the police and an ambulance. I don’t want to lose him and I’m quite worried.
Warm regards to all and hugs to those that are struggling.  |
I hope your brother's health improves soon, Jennifer. Is he getting any physical therapy? That helped my dad.
I'm glad you're contacting your NP about your nausea and vomiting. When I would start Lithium, I had nausea, too. It did fade for me. I hope yours fades quickly, as well.
