My father is giving up the lupus fight
Posted , 2 users are following.
My father is 58 , has had lupus for 20 years. For a while now it has been attacking his kidneys. He needs kidney dialysis which he is refusing to do. He has now been diagnosed with Parkinson's . He can't speek more than a dozen words at any given time. He can't hold a pen to write his name., due to the shaking. He is refusing any more treatment now. He is preparing for his demise . I live 6 hrs away from him , and. Can't even communicate with him anymore. I am in my 7 year of lupus myself and I am having trouble coping with all of this. I am so depressed.

My heart goes out to you. This is a very frightening and sad situation you find yourself in. It is a little while since we heard from you and I now understand why. It must be very frustrating and upsetting not only knowing your father's health situation, but that you are so far away from him! Stress of this magnitude will have an effect on your own health. Would it make you feel better if you could write down your feelings and ask somebody close to him to read it to him on your behalf. I know it's not the same as being at his side but it would give you the opportunity to put down on paper how you feel.
