Question I have said before that I could see signs of my mother, who is 86 and has alzheimer's, getting this disease. She can't be understood a lot of the time, but last night when I started rubbing her back, she said she was itchy. I got my jar of sulphur and rubbed it on her back, which by the way is now covered in moles as was my neck at one time, I felt something odd in my hand so I got my magnifyer out and there they were a lot of them hiding around the moles. The familiar white circle, almost translucent in the middle, but has lines, then a thicker white edge. From this circle is what appears to be a hanging flat piece of plastic, rectangel shape. I have looked and looked for myself, but never have found a picture of anything like this. There were also the black fibers. I'm thinking that maybe these circles are not mites as I thought, but an egg for this flat worm that protrudes from the top. Or maybe a mite, with a worm somehow morphed together. I'm heartsick over seeing these and knowing she is older, can't communicate her suffering, and I don't get to see her on a regular basis. I could try again to convince my brother that there is something wrong, but I might now be able to. If though, that I can come up with something to tell him and something that will help her not to suffer so much that he can give her if he will, then I would be so grateful. She has no access to a shower or tub as she can't walk up stairs so she only gets sponge baths. What I'm asking, is has anyone seen these white circles with the worm and does anyone know of a safe protocol to give to an elderly person. The doctor has already seen her legs which are very large now, and looks almost like elephantitis, but he just gave her a water pill and said to rub cream on the skin that is slowly making it's way past her knees from the ankle area, it's very flaky. She also has the bumps on the head. I do have the selson blue bubba told me about and I use that all over and it has helped so much. I am still trying to get enough money for some of the other things, but my son can't work either and so there is only one check between us. I would appreciate any suggestions as how to help my mom and any information if any there is on this white round thing. If I have to I will take on and try again to see if anyone knows what it is, but I was unsuccessful in the past that anyone would even look at it. I'm sorry this is so long, but I feel so helpless in so many ways, but at least I can start with information if any. I may be grasping at straws. God Bless, Snow |
