Best advice for PF symptom management | Keep on trying don’t give up. You matter you are loved and important. You can An I personally seen the doctor gave my mama 8 months. At best. But I left Iowa City brought her home but. Her doctor her says up to 3 yrs next month is three years. Nevertheless If you are a caregiver. I believe just because she is sick she shouldn’t have to not have nice comfortable clothes. And personal items. Pet therapy helps. And personal hygiene is a must. And routine meals healthy. And just keep up the good fight |
