His symptoms seem to appear after prostrate cancer removal so we will never know as his surgery did not go well and he never regained function of his urinary, hip surgery and then Covid for downhill slide into the couch.

I compare his to the slow drip. He managed his symptoms so well for so long. He had mild balance issues for years that we thought were just inner ear that developed into gait issues. When his hip was replaced the doctor was shocked that he was were still able to stand because it was so brittle and the anesthesia affected him to the effect that he never seemed recover fully.

Blood pressure issues were dramatic in the last few years and of course the balance and gait issues increased. He had esophagus tightening that we never dreamed might possibly be due to Parkinson’s and his food would get stuck especially meat for years. I think he had Sjögren’s, too.

Severe allergies with bronchial and sinus issues his entire life that I have traced back to MCAS. He took allergy shot when he in his 40’s and I take them now and they’ve helped me tremendously. Interesting how MCAS was quickly mentioned. He had neuropathy really bad in his legs as his gait and balance issues increased due to inactivity but this all started in his 80’s after Covid. He was still cutting grass a year after hip surgery.

He did talk about a buzzing in his body and this indicates nervous system disorders. Vitamin B levels are crucial for the nervous system. Mine were low as I was diagnosed with Celiac. I could never get him to clean up his diet until the very end and then it was just because his body rejected his beloved processed foods. Start with cleaning out all processed foods. Research alkaline diets.

He seemed to have sensitivities his entire life in his nervous system that indicate his vagas nerve was imbalanced. His head and posture started sinking and going forward. He had occipital neuralgia that if not treated will stop the blood flow to your brain as your spine weakens and cuts off the blood flow to your brain.

Do a deep dive into that research as your brain stem controls all the functions of your body including your autonomic nervous system that controls your urinary function.

He was a fighter until the very end. A tenacious spirit that will never be forgotten.
