Hi
My aunty finally accepted having carers come in to her last month. This has been really good and she is now having her medication. The problem is as many people with this awful illness is that she is barely eating or drinking.
The carers have asked me to buy snacks for her and ask her doctor for something like Complan. Can anyone advise on what I can try please. She is not keen on sweet things. I visited her today and made her three small crackers and some Boursin cheese, she ate half a cracker. She told me she has no appetite and wants to die. It is so sad and I feel awful for her. I asked her doctor and he Said that the dieticians have a food first policy and would not prescribe anything.
