The Passage of Time & My Mother & Father’s Health Care
As my father and mother grow older I grow more stressed with their health care with each passing year. My mom and dad used to be such robust, healthy adults. But now it seems every time I return home I learn of some new troubling development with one or the other of their health care.
This past year my mom developed these odd light spots whenever she exposed her skin to the sun for more than a couple minutes. Thank goodness it turned out to be nothing too serious. We found a website which explained the harmless cause of such blotches: White Spots From Tanning. This website really assisted us to ease our minds and better understand the truly serious melanoma symptoms we should know.
This year my mom thinks she began experiencing gluten intolerance symptoms. I directed her to the site I linked you to in that last sentence, and now she feels more confident to tackle the possibility of a gluten-free lifestyle. She is working with her doctor about it now, but we are still not sure if my mom has Celiac Disease (gluten intolerance) or not.
In the mean time, my dad has recently developed Barrett’s Esophagus symptoms, something probably more people may be experiencing than they realize. While Barrett’s Esophagus isn’t specifically deadly, it can many times accompany more serious conditions like stomach cancer and it can be a precursor to esophagus cancer.
DISCLAIMER: While I hope my small family tale and the internet resources I discovered to help my family in turn help you too, please note that I am not a medical doctor and you should consult with your physician before taking any medical advice from the World Wide Web.
