It seems that as the weeks go on M.I.L. has more and more medical conditions. The latest is a skin complaint, which started off looking like prickly heat on her chest, which rapidly covered her all over in what looked like sunburn, then she started flaking. Not just small patches but from head to toe, had seen 3 specialist nurses, then a doctor came out last week. Decided it was a drug allergy, and took her off iron tablets and Lansoprazole, because they were the newest ones. She gas been having these since December! A week later she looks like a boiled lobster and the palms of her hands are just a mass of skin waiting to come off. The latest antihistamines are helping, thankfully. But new fluid retention medication isn't really having a great effect now.
She has Asthma, COPD, Moderate Heart Failure, this damn skin condition, High Blood Pressure, problem with her eye which we had to put 3 different types of drops in 11 times a day, have a guess what apparently she feels OK, but is upset because she doesn't know why she can't remember anything or words!
She is so cold internally all the time, had her sitting in the garden with winter coat and gloves on, thankfully she didn't need the blankets or hot water bottle, the temperature approximately 22 degrees
We were told beginning October she could pass on at anytime, I personally think she is trying to get me an Honourary Nursing Degree.
On a serious note has anyone else had experience of this skin complaint.
