Welcome to the support group! You are SO sweet to support your mom.  She may be stubborn, but some day she's gonna appreciate all you are doing for her. She will probably come to depend on you. I could tell you many, many stories about my mom. I'll make it short for now. My mom had been sick from the time I was a little girl. She had Systemic Lupus. She was diagnosed back in the day when there doctor's weren't as knowledgable as they are now. We traveled literally 4 hours a day when she had a doctor's appt. There was only one doctor in the state that even had any idea of what was going on with her. She eventually became an advocate for Lupus. She was on the Lupus board and would travel with the doctors- educating people and the government. At the time, she knew more than anyone ever could have dreamt about knowing about that darn disease. She was a great mom. She was so vibrant and beautiful! And even though she was a fighter, she died at a fairly young age, from complication from that disease. She's been gone for eleven years now. She had many, many health problems that were from the Lupus. Anyway, just ask all the questions you want. Feel free to PM me if you ever want. I'm online a lot. I'm a Group Leader for the Fibromyalgia Support Group. So yeah, I check posts, my PM's, and emails a lot. If I don't know the answer- and I know I don't know everything, cause I'm not a doctor. I will be happy to help you find it though. You take care. Take care of your family. And just continue to learn and be ready for when your mom needs you the most.
