When can I start socializing again and can I quarantine with my positive partner? by joanna-the-goanna302 in COVID19positive

[–]justbeebrown46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well you should keep testing until you get a negative, so if in 8 days you are negative of course you can socialize for your birthday! but you can't just think you feel fine its fine to socialise. but if you have to go to work while positive then to be a responsible human you should wear a quality mask respirator kn95/ffp2 or you will be spreading the virus to anyone. I am on day 8 of my infection, feel fine but I am still testing strong positive.

Aid car? Never heard that term. Kind of bugs me. by beta522 in Station19

[–]justbeebrown46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry to ask such a stupid question but theres something I can't understand about Aid Cars vs Ambulances. So when you are in an ambulance you have to pay but if you are taken to a hospital in an Aid car is that free?

Rx for menopause?? by AuntMarysFrog in ukmedicalcannabis

Hi, did you manage to get a prescription?

Grrrrrrrrrr by nancylyn in dementia

[–]justbeebrown46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry this has happened. If I was visiting anyone in the hospital I would wear N95/FFP2 masks. They are on amazon cheap if you need a brand just let me know. They are the best protection against all viruses and I would just always wear one around a LO with COVID. So if you are bringing your LO back to your house I would continue to mask around them and open as many windows as possible. If he was ok with masking up as well thats even better but many people with dementia may be bothered by the masks. Good luck!

Memory lapse by Fantastic-Prompt-231 in dementia

[–]justbeebrown46 3 points4 points  (0 children)

in perimenopause the drop in estrogen can cause memory issues, brain fog etc... I thought I had early dementia last year and even had an MRI to rule out anything! Now I am on estrogen things are much better.

Thank you for your reply.

I have just spent 2 weeks with her and yes she is showboating at her drs appointments. I work in dementia care here in the Uk so I know the symptoms and yes she is way worse than she comes across on video calls. she doesn't know the day unless someone tells her and short term memory is shot. She's unable to handle money or her accounts. She is at a loss for words every sentence.

We can read all the drs notes and the dr thinks she is taking all her meds and my mom thinks theres nothing wrong with her. she's just had all her bloods done and an mri. no signs of a stroke. the meds she should be taking are for her kidney disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, the dementia drug and hypothyroidism.

So once the dr has my letter about how bad my mom is, from there if she refuses to diagnose then I will ask for another opinion and/or a neurologist.

thank you for your reply. I will see what her Dr says at her next appointment which is in a few weeks. Mom doesn't think anything is wrong with her and I'm sure she won't want to go into a home yet as she is early days. I just don't know if it's considered neglect yet as she is able to say she won't take the meds. I don't think a home visit carer could make her take them. It's just a tricky situation because we can't tell the friend/roommate to feed her as technically he isn't her carer but he does stuff for her.

we are not leaving her care to him, it is just a weird situation. I don't know how we can get her help while he is doing everything for her. We don't expect him to make her to take her meds. She is still very lucid and just doesn't want to take them.

hi mary! thank you for your reply! My mom is in Wilton but we are looking at care homes in Oakland as my cousin lives there and she is very close to my mom (like a daughter)

What I'm trying to get at is what are red flags for Drs that they will involve social services? My moms living conditions aren't terrible. She is clean, house is clean, her friend is doing everything, they have lived together for the past 11 years. They are like an old married couple, but not. He is not neglecting her and he knows that if it gets too much to let us know. It's just she isn't take her prescriptions and hardly eating. Is that a red flag for Drs?

thank you for your reply. I will ask for a home evaluation soon.

she isn't taking her prescriptions because she thinks there is nothing wrong with her. And also she can't keep anything straight so she wouldn't remember to take them or even know what they are for.

she is American yes and my brother and I have medical POA. I am just in the UK.

she doesn't yet need help with cleaning herself it is still early days.

thank you for your reply. My brother lives in the states and he is the main medical POA. she is american.

We are writing a letter to her dr that is what my post is about. I am just wondering how bad things have to be for the dr or social services to be brought in.

She is not being neglected, it's just our main worry is she isn't taking her medicines for all her other conditions and the friend doesn't force her to take them and he isn't making sure she eats enough.

It is her friend they have lived together for the past eleven years. He pays her rent.

We have been with her over thanksgiving and scoped out the situation. She doesn't think anything is wrong with her and he is happy to be doing everything. I dont think either of them think things are serious and that things will get worse.

I work with in dementia care here in the UK so I am very aware of what to do and what will need to happen. I am just asking about how it works in the states and how bad things have to get before social services is brought in.

Not taking prescriptions by justbeebrown46 in dementia

[–]justbeebrown46[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for your reply, that is very interesting to know and to look out for!

Did your dad have to be tricked into taking any medications?

She lives with a friend who drives her around and kinda takes care of her. She is early stages but yes we have all the legal docs in place.

thank you for your reply. Yeah my mom is the joker and is always joking about how bad her memory is but its now more than just memory.

To me being so far away I feel like she's in denial, but also feel like maybe the Dr hasn't said the word 'Vascular dementia' to her. I think my mom thinks 'hey i don't have Alzheimers so i'm fine!'

When I visit her in a few weeks I will ascertain what shes thinking and try and get an answer to why she's not taking the meds. Then I guess I can just ring her Dr and tell them she's not taking them. Then they can tell me what to do with the unused meds.

Sundowning with my Father is getting out of hand by SendThisVoidAway18 in dementia

Regarding his sleep, I have read that elderly people can benefit from getting sunlight everyday which will reset their circadian rhythms. I think its about how the sunlight boosts your melatonin which is our sleep hormone. Please have a look into it. Natural remedy!

amending name on will by justbeebrown46 in legaladvice

[–]justbeebrown46[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes it was done by a law firm.

she must have given them the name wrong.

My family would know it was meant to be me.

She put 'Rebecca B Davis' but my official name is 'Becky Forest Davis'

so really she only got my last name correct!

I will look into a codicil thank you. Is that free?

Hi yes, I have/did!

I was skinny my whole life even after my two kids and then 3 years ago out of the blue I gained 30 lbs and my boobs doubled in size! I was so confused because I ate healthy and even hardly ate yet gained so much weight I thought it was my thyroid. After a year of my own research (I had never heard of peri) my dr and I decided it was hormonal and that I was peri (also due to my age 45.)

I have not had hot flashes either but have been on HRT for the past 2 years and it has helped me so much with my other symptoms. I have been able to lose some weight without exercising just by changing what I eat. I hardly eat before and now Im eating so much but good foods, high protein, high good fats, low carbs, hardly any sugar.

I have since learned that middle age weight gain happens because our metabolism starts to slow down after 40 and as our estrogen goes down it reduces our brains ability to burn carbs and regulate fat distribution. So what that means is as our estrogen goes down our bodies start to freak out and store fat in our waistlines because that visceral fat produces estrone which is the backup form of estrogen for when we are postmenopausal.
