Mum has Al's. I treat it with Cystopurin, which neutralizes the acid in the urine. Thankfully UTI's are only very very rare, considering that I do have great difficulty encouraging Mother to take a shower. Presently it's only one shower in the forthright, and I assist because I'm petrified Mum would fall coming out of the shower tray.
Those Who know Me, and that I'm a full time Caregiver to Mum, still ask Me, OH AM DO YOU GET SOME PLUMBING WORK DONE EVERY DAY, FOR YOURSELF ?? As all Carer's know if You go missing for a short while, there's an immediate May Day call out, ARE YOU THERE ? WHERE ARE YOU ? People outside Our World, think it's a walk in the park. I pray They never discover what it's like to loose Ones freedom, and become a 24/7 Carer. Lots of hugs to All You Carer's out there.
Statins are now implicated in dementia. It happened to a friend of mine in her 70s. She played squash several times a week, practiced yoga and ate a very healthy diet. Her doctor put her on statin drugs because heart attacks "run in her family" and it would be a good preventative. I watched as sh became increasingly unable to do the most simple things. Her children planned to put her into a memory care home. She quit the statins and now she is back to her old self. Check out this web site for the side effects of statins articles.mercola/sites/articles/archive/2010/07/20/the-truth-about-statin-drugs-revealed.aspx and this one scientificamerican/article/its-not-dementia-its-your-heart-medication/
I would rather have my throat cut than take statin drugs.
How about checking for kidney infection...i believe that causes pain when peeing.
also. I will change the shampoo and try another brand. Also must get baby wipes.
Or has the laundry detergent and fabric softener changed? That could also be an irritant.
