Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hi all, My Mom has also been extremely tired. She can barely stay awake to eat and falls asleep for long periods of time. And she is miserable. My dad finally took her to the doctor for blood work. She is severely ANEMIC! They are giving her a blood transfusion tomorrow, Monday. I kept telling my dad that mom she wasn't drinking enough fluids; she didn't want to because of the bathroom thing, something else she can't control. My dad thought it was just part of the disease. I encourage you to have your doctors test for anemia. I thought I read something about water with nutrients? Anybody with that information? Is there any medication they can give to help keep them awake? My mom does not want to be tired and she can barely move. I will let you know how the blood transfusion works; they probably will have to do several. Marcie Daughter to my best friend, my Mom, diagnosed in August, 2005 and rapidly deteriorating.
