There are also visual picture communication apps you can use to do things like ask them where it hurts and how it feels!

Triage is the first thing I learned in nursing school. There's no compassion anymore. MRI, X-rays, labs that provide your needs for medical treatment and/or chronic illness. Doctors don't care or they are scared to do what's right to make the patient comfortable so they can have a quality of life.

Thank you for this! I had a stroke and my words made no sense at first. It was incredibly frustrating to be in so much pain with no way to get my message across!!! Now I am extremely sensitive to others signs of pain especially the elderly and my own pets❤️

In the current medical climate, elderly nonverbal patients experiencing pain are dismissed and under treated, while elderly patients who verbalize their discomfort are accused of medication seeking before being dismissed and under treated. It’s disgusting how the elderly are treated by the medical establishment is this country 😖

I see fidgeting with hands, furiously with their clothes, a thread, a blanket, sheet etc… can be a sign…. Family often thinks it’s sweet like they think it’s like tidying behavior

ALSO, many older patients will "tell you what you want to hear" and try not to be a "problem". I had to keep letting the doctor at the VA know specifics for my dad because he wouldn't say stuff on his own or he would say No. Those reactions like pulling away or grimacing matter. We noticed Dad wasn't using his right arm as much as normal. Convinced him to go to ER and we found out he was having more blockage and we caught it just before a massive stroke (again)

I'm neurodivergent and I become nonverbal when in severe pain or discomfort. Yet the rationale doctors give for not increasing my dose of whatever medication is because I don't complain. Especially when it's during night shift at the hospital because the doctors at night don't usually do anything. Right now the doctors at the hospital wants me to get a pain pump, yet they won't give me a referral. They expect me to call around when I'm already exhausted from pain.

Speaking from experience. 1st, Dementia and Alzheimer’s are very different. My experience is with dementia. I took her to all medical appointments. I had to convince medical professionals to stop taking to me! I explained she felt disrespected, discarded, frustrated, angry, frightened, invisible and was increasingly becoming more confused and depressed. Advice: Speak to the patient. Caregivers will eavesdrop and we’ll ask the patient questions as if we didn’t understand. I explain dementia in percentages. Some days they are only suffering 10%, other days wildly range. The higher percentage, the more they become angry, distrustful or scary normal. When they return to 0-10%, the paranoia steps in. Like an alcoholic living with blackouts. They don’t remember gaps or f time and become increasingly distrustful of the typical people around them. Accusations of stealing, lying or tricking them are common. They like you, then hate you, then remember you. Only to recess to terror. Then? They physically cling onto you in their mental terror, not knowing you. But you smell familiar or sound familiar or you’re the least scariest. Dementia and Alzheimer’s are the cruelest diseases.

My 31 y/o son is mostly non verbal and does not complain about pain even when I know he is hurting. I pay close attention and do skin checks twice a week. I pray the Lord allows me to care for him as long as he needs it 🥰
