Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Hi, I'd like to introduce myself to you as I just joined the group last night. My name is Alice and I am a full time caregiver to my husband, Bill, who has chronic, progressive MS. His condition is advanced as he's totally bedridden, can't move his body or use his hands, his memory is gone, he's legally blind, he cannot communicate and he's going through the choking stage. I transport him daily, clean him, exercise him, feed him and give him fluids. My question to you is can anyone advise me on any food, herbs, vitamins, etc. which may help him and also myself. I have to puree all his foods and thicken all his drinks. He's gained alot of weight due to having to use " Thick It " as it has calories in it and I have to use 25 lbs. per month to thicken all his fluids. As for myself, I become tired easy, get depressed and addicted to coffee and sugar. Can anyone help us to eat more nutritionaly. Last year Bill had all his teeth removed except three as they were all decayed because of his MS. Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
