PL, you better not get a lobotomy...!
Have you called your pharmacists and discussed the meds, and what the combination of the two, might cause?
We found a pill on the floor in my mom's room once. To get a clear and unbiased answer to our questions about it, we took it directly to the nearest pharmacist, who was so very helpful and dissolved our fears.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!!

Gims, both the ER DR and the pharmacist went over drug interactions. I get it: I developed an allergic reaction to Percocette. Interesting, how our metabolism changes with our receding youth.

I knew you were that smart...
hope you don't mind me suggesting it.
It came to mind, me thinking of the pill we found on my mom's floor, which turned out not to be one of her prescriptions. Mislabeling medications does happen. Horrible to think that happens, but it does.
My dad use to administer his own meds. He had seventeen diff. 'scripts at one point in time. I use to be the 'pick-up and delivery' for him, even though he lives immediately across the highway from his pharmacy. One particular pill changed shape and color twice while I was involved with his care. I asked him once if he made sure each pill he took was what he expected it to be. He said he was very cautious, and aimed his eyes at me with his head still lowered, as if he was going to say more, but didn't. (We had cause to question him for another reason.) According to him, he consulted the pharmacist before taking them when he had doubts. At that, I dropped the conversation. His meds are administered by a sister now.

Gims, this brings up a good topic in regards to the elderly and their meds. He had 17 prescriptions! Wow! My step father administers the meds to my mom, and my step f is legally blind in one eye. Geez, so much to worry about.

Princess ,

I hope you feel better soon and rest as much as you can. You do have a lot to worry about with you parents . I understand I have been their . Take care my friend.

Princess, I've been so worried about you. Have had stuff going on here at home that's keeping my own head swirling so haven't felt like talking much. But I've been keeping you in heart and mind. How are you feeling today?

Oh, thank you for thinking of me. I did too much yesterday, so could not sleep with the pain last night. I'll be fine if I just rest, which is what the DR ordered. It's hard for me to sit still. L, PL

Hi Meredith, I know exactly what you mean. I thought about this before you mentioned it: Well at least I don't have a migraine. I was in the ER thinking, this is strange, I'm in the ER and it's not for a migraine! I have noticed that my migraines are decreasing in frequency and intensity. thank you God.

Tawanda - that was a great scene.

BTW, those strappy coats come with buckles and buckles are back.

Sorry you've had so much trouble, PL. Glad you could stop the pain pills. Please listen to the DR and rest.
