My father was diagnosed in 1987 with PPMS and has not gotten to the point where he is unable to move both legs and arms. He is bed ridden. However, my family and I prepared for this eventually happening a long time ago. We were not prepared for finding out about the lesions in his brain. Some days he wakes up and does not know who he is or who my mom is, other times he wakes up happy but is confused. Other times he wakes up and all he can say is "help me! Please." We ask what can we help with or say okay. He responds with okay, and then he goes back to :help me! Help me now!" He continues this for about 48 hours plus. I am asking if anyone knows about anything to help him sleep. When he finally falls asleep, he comes back to us and stops screaming, "Help Me!" He cannot take anything that will suppress his respiratory system. But is there anything natural or medication-wise that has helped you or loved ones/friends before?
