These are quite extreme.
These may have helped you but for many, they just increase stress levels, such as the stress of fighting with a bed pan. The bed ridden concept creates more risks such as DVT's. If someone is bed ridden, they need to be medicated to prevent DVT's. A simple solution is 325 mgs of aspirin, enteric is OK, twice a day. Fish oil also thins the blood so it can help with DVT's.

Ear plugs rarely cause ear wax impaction. There are simple ways to resolve or prevent this.

JudyAnn's daughter needs to find a way to get gentle brain stimulation to encourage good blood flow. She also needs to have normal sleep patterns to get all of the sleep stages. lt does not sound like she struggles to walk to the bathroom. Some sense of normalcy is good. Most important, she needs to find someone who can understand her symptoms and give her some help to move forward. Third person advice is very problematic because we cannot get the full picture. .
