need advice (bigtime)

[Guest guest]

hi everyone,

Since jan. of this year my mom has been in two

nursing homes and has had alot of down days.finally got

her situated in a nice house with a roomate.she,'s been

so down not coming out of the room often.the last two

weeks she's been picking up even asked to drive her car

and she did.yesterday she was having difficulty breathing

and was having pain in her side, so she took it upon her-

self to make an appointment at doctors.never called me

to tell me about her pain and drove herself.after all these

months of depending on everyone else she decided not

to bother anyone.anyway the doctor she went to was a

lung doctor she goes there often. he gave her a breathing

treatment and a shot of steroids. she left that office and

decided to try and do her laundry she almost got it started

and don't know what happened after that. they found her

lying face down on the floor passed out. they took her to the

emergency room around 1:10 and called me at work around

2:00 to ask me if my mom has any history of passing out.

my mom has been there so many times and not that

long ago. anyway they say they don't know what happened.

maybe a seizure. any i am no doctor but i just was put on

steroids for swelling in my ankle and one of the cautions

said to take with precautions if you take a seizure med.

well my mom takes neurontin and that is a seizure med

right? her own primary doctor said in emergency room

that if it was a seizure maybe they would put her on a

med for it. i said she already takes one. he kinda hes-

itate for a moment and said thats right neurontin is a

a seizure med . ( dah) what are trying to do to my mom

kill her? sorry my story is so long but i am so scared if

you can't even trust a doctor who can you trust.
