My mother is 46 years old and lately I have been concerned with her health. First off, she smokes and drinks. She smokes at least a pack a day I think, and drinks wine almost every night. She hasn't been making an effort to quite smoking, either. She drinks 3-4 glasses of wine and it doesn't take long for her to get drunk. She slurs her words, wobbles, and gets very emotional. Of course when I tell her she is drunk, she doesn't want to hear it and shrugs my comments off. She rarely eats during the day, also. She complains that everything she eats makes her sick. She gets stomach pains, so usually she just eats a little bit during the day and may have a snack like pretzels later on. I haven't been keeping track of what she takes for her work lunch, but it's never any junk food. She also complains that she is always bloated. She is very petite other than a belly in her middle. The doctors she has talked to told her that she just has to deal with her bloating. Maybe about two months ago or more she told me she had a lot of blood in her stool. She seemed concerned but of course didn't go to have it checked out. I haven't heard anything about it from her since then, but It still seems to me like it could be something serious. I have also heard her complain over the past year about very heavy periods and bad cramps, and considered getting her uterus removed? Or ovaries? Sorry, I can't remember which it would be.
So I think I got all of the problems she has had on here. I hope to get any sort of information for her, it's much appreciated!
