oh dear HB.  Though you do seem to have found some humour in the situation, which is good 

Hope dr visit is productive.

Night sweats can be caused by anaemia (as well as the menopause) - but presumably as your Mum's bloods have been checked then she should have been screened for this too (?)  Hope she is feeling better soon x

GP is coming this morning.

I have a couple of days off as I have covered for sis so she could do some stuff so not back till Sunday.

It will be nice just to have a little break because it's pretty full on just now and it does make me tired.

I have googled night sweats as a symptom but there are so many causes.

Enjoy the break Honeyb.

Feet up, cuppa and Very Good Book?

GP has heard something wrong in her chest. She is to go for an X-Ray.

She has anti biotic and he wants another urine sample tested.

Steps forward perhaps.

Hopefully the X-ray will be performed during next week so that the results are through sooner rather than later.  At least he is giving your Mum anti-biotic 'cover' ......... how is her tummy?

[honeybun]

Her tummy seems to be ok at the moment. It comes out of the blue. One minute ok and then the next she is sick. It's as if her stomach just rejects food. She will be sick once and that's generally it.

She will go for the x Ray next week but the results are always slow.


Hope it's nothing sinister.

How can she have a chest infection without a cough.

Easy.  Infections can settle into the lungs causing non-specific signs i.e. no cough but still cause enough mucos irritation to be problematic.  You could ring her GP next week if you are worried?  and ask the question.  Would you prefer to know what else he is looking for so that you can have time to absorb any bad news?

[honeybun]

Thanks CLKD.....I did not know that.

Nope don't want to know.....Just take things as they come....no sense in having more sleepless nights than I have to. She had an x Ray last year when she had a compression fracture in her spine....that's when they picked up the enlarged heart. It may be nothing more than an infection in which case the ABs should sort it.

I know this sounds terrible but we want her well for sis and I to get away on our hols. We go different weeks but if she,was unwell neither of us would be happy to leave the other to manage. We don't go far away so we can vet back home quickly if needed.

Will they xray her chest only HB or will they check further down too, ie her tummy area? Or does that sound like a really silly question.
Brother and I had similar problem one year with our mum regarding holidays. Brother managed to find her a nice care home for respite care so we knew she'd be looked after. Would that be an option maybe?

[honeybun]

Just chest X-Rays I think.

I would love her to go into respite care. It would really take the strain off. I even found one that would take her and the dog.....it was lovely.

That idea went down like a lead balloon. I told her it would be a holiday for her too but true to form anything I suggest gets shot down.......now if my sister were to suggest it it would be different. My sis has got a bit of the martyr about her and is a committed Christian. We could not be more different if we tried.

Having a very Christian sister can be very wearing......especially when I know what she is really like....

Suggest it to your sister.
After, she has looked after your mum for a couple of days........
Remember to remind her you are feeling like ****** at the moment.
Wouldn't do any harm to remind your mum either.

[honeybun]

Have spoken to big sis......She has the X-Ray card. GP has asked for three different things to be looked for.
She can't make out his writing so we don't know. She said he looked a bit concerned......of course she could be wrong.

Anyone any idea what he could be looking for.
