My father's health is rapidly declining.
Diagnosed around 2 months ago.
He is now in full blown ALS.
-muscle atrophy (legs, arms, and breathing muscles)
-nasal voice, then raspy voice
-Lung function down to 37%
-Blood gas is fine at 92%
-Suffering from Frontal Lobe Dementia
Anyway....obviously he is having trouble sleeping. He has been prescribed Xanax as an "anti anxiety" medicine, as he is having trouble when he is out in public. Most likely occurs when he is going out to lunch and is in a crowded place.
Anway, he needs something to take before bed, to keep him sleeping.
Some people have mentioned
-ambien
Anyway, looking for what people are taking in order to have a good nights sleep.
thanks
