Dad has slight temperature

3 Replies

Going to phone doctor tomorrow (about the temp, pain in arm from arthritis and joint coming out) and not eating for 4 days. And son non verbal, autism, low functioning looking very underweight and eyes really sunken and looking poorly, too. We provide cooked food and drinks which should give. Going to email health coordinator (previously social worker) and hopefully they(supported living place) take his health and eating seriously

Hello it is important your dad gets checked over for his R/A I have problems at this time of year when the Biometric pressure reduces below 1000 so medications may help. Try pointing a shower head, warm water on the inflicted areas that does help me get warmth into the joints, it will help circulation.I used to use an infrared lamp on the joints over winter and that would help me.

I hope you are able to get assistance for your Son. Is He not eating ??

Will mention to my Dad, thanks for the help - greatly appreciated and I think staff at supported living place, new have been staying upstairs in the office and not feeding him 2-3 times but less than that and not really paying attention to his eating habits and weight

There is a real problem at the moment getting health checks and treatment.I have been asking to be seen for about four weeks and it has been really bad to get my fears put to rest. When someone is ill and no-one is there to give support it can cause so much Anxiety.

Good Luck for next week
