You would have lost it today
@Eddcorner!
The deputy manager who clearly has not understood mum’s condition tells me to back off from the steroid issue and that I am overthinking 😡😡
So two shaking episodes at the same time of the day are apparently just due to ‘dementia‘ when each time they have happened has been day 2 of a taper at 2pm- I don’t think dementia is so organised!
The GP then trotted in - he is more conciliatory and will seek endo advice …..but I did tell them in no uncertain terms that 5 times mum fainted…..I said i query adrenal insufficiency and I was told ‘ general decline’…’being in your 80s’…..’old ladies just faint’…….well who was right there? ..and what was happening fainting at the same time of day when the body needs cortisol and it can’t produce it
😡😡😡😡..and who told them there was a tummy bug going round 72 hours before they acknowledged it!
Thankfully the need on coming down is more about remaining comfortable whereas on going up for sickness it is lifesaving. but again as carers we are not listened to…..whereas when I speak as a professional everyone appreciates my experience.
😡😡😡😡 rant over!
