my mum has been diagnosed with this condition a few weeks ago, shes 45 and turned 95 overnite. i live miles away but ive come home to look after her, i had a shock yesterday as she had been admitted to hospital because she was in so much pain.no-one, not even the doctors seem to want to tell us anything and we dont know what to do. i cant stand to see my mum in so much pain,i couldnt even cuddle her goodbye because the slightest touch on her skin makes her scream in agony.please dont recomend expensive drugs we simply cant afford them,mum is bringing up her sisters two children on benefit and im so much in debt that i cant afford fancy drugs....can someone please help me to help mum, there must be something i can do,there must be someone who can tell us what this thing is.the hospital are discharging her today and im going to have to stay so i can care for her but im in the dark as to what to do....
