Incurable diseases create havoc in the whole family for many days to months to years. Taking care of a sick person at home is a tedious job, no doubt. It is a well known fact that a prolonged illness can deplete the financial funds
rapidly and invariably, the health of the family suffers. Children are deprived of education, someone has to quit job and take care full time, and one cannot fulfill social obligations for a long time. We have neglected the aspect of social impact of prolonged illness.
All illnesses are accompanied by symptoms, which can be relieved medically even in cases of incurable illness.
Some of these symptoms are Pain/ body ache Nausea/ vomiting, Constipation/ diarrhea, Lack of sleep/agitation, Restlessness/ hallucinations, Numbness/ weakness, Muscle spasms/ convulsions, etc.
