Marlene in Arkansas

Although my husband is very good about hygiene, I am noticing, on a daily basis, a very foul odor coming from his mouth as well as body. He has been able to reduce the mouth odor to some extent with mouthwashes but it seems like the odor is coming through his pores. I am wondering if this is due to the dying muscles in his body. His speech is detoriating quickly, most times I have to ask him to repeat what he has said and he tires easily. Swallowing is becoming a problem- he coughs and clears his throat a lot. Seems everything is more difficult for him each week. Has anyone encountered this same odor problem. He was dx 02-09-08. Thanks for your help. I am wearing out - just pray for strength for each day to make his day a good one. I just want to help him all I can.
