I’m feeling hopeless.
This is hard to write, but after years of reading these posts on and off i thought i’d make my own.
My mom had a stroke and a cerebral haemorrhage four years ago and suffered from loss of her whole left side. Her condition got better after two years and she was able to walk with assistance for short distances and everything seemed to get better - until her medication was quit.
This past year unfortunately everyting has gone to shit. The company making her medication (a long lasting pregabalin) has quit the production of the medicine - the only thing that helped her spasticity. The spasticity has gotten to a point that she is mostly tired and her left side is almost completely stiff. She’s at a point that doctors just tell her that there’s nothing to try anymore. They even (as a last resort) tried medical cannabis, which is really rare to get here in Finland, but with no effect.
I’m feeling absolutely hopeless and that there’s nothing i can do to help. My mother means the world to me and i’m starting to fear the worst. She’s an absolute trooper and has pushed through awful things, but i feel like she is starting to also loose hope.
I’m willing to take any advice of helping her or just some encouraging words.
I feel alone and trapped and can’t stop crying daily over the worry i have.
