Hi

I can see why you are so worried. You need specialist advice on this and I'm not sure where you should go. If in doubt I suggest contact your go and they will have contact details.

I'm not sure but as this is a Lupus site, is this a reaction to a diagnosis or unrelated, either way you need advice on how to approach the problem.

Good luck,

If she is inhaling she would be showing signs of it. I am unsure of exactly what they are but I would google signs of misuse of aerosol deodorants and then maybe face her with it or get some advice of what to do next. I hope you find out she isn't.

If you look at your local services there should be a number for substance abuse....they will be very familiar with any questions you have. If you are not sure ring CAB or doctors surgery....you don't have to say why you want the number. Most importantly don't jump to conclusions and always keep lines of communication open between granddaughter and yourselves. Good luck.
