Thank you Photog and Zazu. I think this is the first time that I have actually wept, and now feel guilty and selfish for doing so! My husband is going to start taking the Fish Oil today; it can do no harm and can only do some good. Unfortunately the damage is already done.
Zazu - if your brother has only a short time left, I beg you not to give him the additional burden of peripheral neuropathy. Although not having experienced it personally, my husband describes it as 24hr severe 'pins & needles' in his hands/arms/legs and feet. There is no respite from it and trying to get any rest or sleep is almost impossible..
Why are they recommending Thalidomide now at this late stage? It sounds to me like another experiment and a way of pouring even more dollars into the coffers of the owners of the drug.
I am heartbroken every day. We have been together 42 years - since we were teenagers. I am certain that should anything similar befall me, then there is no way that the medical profession will be able to practise their black arts on me!
I am thinking of you and hoping that you can give some strength to your lovely brother.
