Appetite decreased.

<p class="userway-s14-active">Mothers been saying she’s not wanting to eat, nothing sounds good since before Thanksgiving. She did eat well on that day though. She’s still able to cook simple meals and has plenty of food. I bring her things when I cook something she’d like. Only change in her meds is going off the Seroquel 400mg and back to zaleplon 10mg as of last week. She’s not Been sleeping well.<p class="userway-s14-active">All I can think of is my dad’s drop in appetite before we even realized he was developing liver failure and cancer. Two years later as of this month I’m still traumatized as to how that went. It took three ER visits, outpatient tests, and one last ER visit Christmas Eve before someone finally admitted him and paid attention. He was gone Jan 4.<p class="userway-s14-active">The anxious feeling of being the only person to care for a suddenly very ill senior in our horrible system is still fresh in my mind.<p class="userway-s14-active">As of last week’s psych visit she’d not lost weight.<p class="userway-s14-active">I really don’t like her, or like helping her. But if there is some big medical problem developing, well, I dread walking her through that. And with my dad at least I had my love for him. He was not mentally ill, he trusted me 100% and our relationship was good. He had the finances to get him care readily accessible.<p class="userway-s14-active">I have none of these helpful things with my mother. I hope my hunch is wrong. She has a PCP appt late December.
