My Care Plan

Many of my friends and relatives have asked me about the treatments I’m taking and my care plan. Well here it is and it’s very simple. On the medication side I take Rilutek. I don’t know how much it has helped me but I take it diligently and my doctor says that I should keep taking it. My hands and feet swell because of reduced muscle function and to keep the swelling down my caregivers massage them couple of times during the day. I don’t have any dietary restrictions so I eat whatever I want to. I’ve tried alternate therapies, but they didn’t help and so won’t write about them. Oh yes! I need help with pretty much everything that my arms and legs can’t do. But this care plan will change as my disease progresses.
