Psp and pneumonia

[Fadwa]

My father 86 years old recently he diagnosis as psp patient but I thing he was suffer since several years we refuse the nasal tube feeding and try an accupantur (Chinese needles ) it helps him for some time he he was eating but all doctors in many hospital they refuse to treat him without tube so we accept , he is on sinement tablet dose this help him because he have a lot of side effect I don,t know if it,s from the medication or from psp , what is the worse step coming I am ready to hear and face ( already he get a pneumonia ).

hi fadwa

how r u today?

another day in the life of a PSP carer fort you - another day in the life of a PSP person for me

i am feeling good today 0 not sure why poss cos myh partner and i have a new understanding - hwo long it will las ti do not know but he is not shouotign at em if i fall over which means i only ha d3 falls hyesterdya in the whole of the day - has been as many as 40 when really stressed 0=- like a few weeks ago when my dad died and i was waiting for the funeral - all orgnaisedby my brother

but i digress-htis psPSP can be v difficult for all concerned and i found the sinemet was NOT useful as it did not improve my balance etc in determining that i did ha ve the PSP

eTHE FEEDING TUBE SI A PROBLEM - I HAVE OPTED NOT TO HAVE ONE WHEN THE Time COMES as i do not want to prolong my life when i can no longer enjoy my food

Hi jillannf6. Hope you are good today and every day sorry to ask you but may be yr doctors butter than ours may they have more knowledge my father not talking we can't communicate with him only by eyes or some sound our doctors all of tham says he can't understand or feel but I think he did and some times crying with tears sorry once again but what do you know about this . Accept my apologies for this question with my best wishes. Fadwa
