Good afternoon all and those that read this.
My name is Lea, my mum got diagnosed last month (March) with MND after experiencing a change in her speech that began in December 2019. After many tests at the hospital it was confirmed that mum has MND. Within the last 3 months mums speech has become a lot more slurred, she is also suffering with her excessive salvia.
Mum has been put on the scopoderm patches, which was fine for the first month of use. However within the last two weeks she has suffered with a skin reaction. We decided to take the skin patch off for a day whilst mums skin healed and awaited to hear if we could use it on the other ear (right side) but when doing so the following day mum was sick with fluid, I did read online that this could be a side effect from not keeping the scopoderm patch on. We have been in contact with her care team and they have prescribed mum with hyoscine in tablet form. Hopefully these work for mum and help her.
Any help and support would be greatly appreciated, since mums diagnosis things have been extremely difficult. Trying to come to terms with mums diagnosis is proving hard but I am hoping that I can take comfort through this online forum.
Thank you for reading, best wishes Lea
