RE: My mother has this mysterious joint pain condition but experiencing some alleviation
Hello @wakeupkitty
I saw my mother's face this morning after opening my room's door t ask me of I wanted to have my breakfast already and the tone of her voice and that sad look of her face made by this mysterious pain which had been plaguing her especially from the last few weeks hasn't been totally resolved.
In fact, she cannot do our laundry anymore and just letting my father do it with her instructions and then some of the laundry work is delegated to my sister because she cannot do it anymore because of her overall body pain and causing her to moan and groan all the time.
It hurts my feelings a lot as if I also feel her pain within my own body aside from the mental stress it gives me because I love my mother. Although I am in pain myself all the time too especially if I would sit for long and minimal effort like making Moringa capsules much less other things like washing dishes is just impossible for me to do, it is more ok for me to feel pain coming from my own body to see my loved one suffer from anything.
I don't know if my mother has a fibromyalgia because she has been strong all her years and a sudden onset of that muscle condition in my opinion is unlikely. But she had developed a worse allergy on many foods as years go by which she do not have when I was younger.
But one major problem that she had been suffering from is her hyperacidity issues and it has let her to suffer from difficulty in swallowing food because of maybe the acid already affected her esophagus. Aside from all that, she developed now a stuffed nasal passage that would not go away.
I believe that as you point-out, elderly persons are having a trouble in absorbing nutrients and I think that she needs magnesium to give a relaxing effect on her muscles because she drinks so much water after a meal, I mean more than two quarts of water and I guess it flushes out some of the minerals that her body needs and causing these unusual pain.
I think that she is comfortable with the new foam that was bought for her by my siblings and she was having a good sleep too, she is an early sleeper and sleeps like a baby. However the recent pain attacks didn't let her to sleep better and any person too will not get a restful sleep if they have this type of pain that my mother is suffering from.
My mother is also taking only vitamin 1, 6, 12 (B1, B6, B12) and yet she still says that she has this numb sensation on her limbs. But the recent doctor that she consulted gave her a prescription of calcium with vitamin D3 and a multivitamin and it is the ones that she is taking now as her supplement.
I will have to still see what I can do, maybe some additional vitamins with minerals can help her out along with some supplements like curcumin might add a relief.
Thank you about your concern, take care now. ❤♥🌹
