This is timely information! I teach folks to use herbal medicine to prevent getting colds & flu, and have great results. There are occasions, though, when people do turn to drugs to alleviate symptoms. This information is important! Thanks ! Carol ~ www.studiobotanica.com
Certainly one of the most important meds notices ever posted anywhere! Most nartotic pain meds are listed as #/#, with the second number being the non-narcotic active component--and more often than not, it is acetominophen (tylenol). Check your meds, and those of your loved ones carefully! What good is taking all this stuff to stay alive if it's killing you daily OD by daily OD in the meantime?
I am seeing this happening to my mother whom denies it. Ihave gone as far as counting the pain medications and recounting but she willnot admit to it and I have tried to explain to her that this is dangerous. My father use to get mad and yell at me but he knows it now and just shakes his head. Neither of my parent take their medications properly. I do not want o takeover their life but they are not going to be around if the Dr. does not know what is going on. They get mad at me for talking to their doctor and he even took up for me none of the other siblings are helping or doing anything. When your parents sleep all day there is something wrong, She was dignosed with Dementia 1 year ago I found out I just got on her HIPPA form. No one sees her going downhill Ilive with them and see it daily repeat the conversations over and over because she did not understand or forgot it. she ask me the same questions with in 20 minutes so I think the Doctor is correct. She made the statement the I made her feel like she was stupid. their house flooded and I was the only one here to take care of it she gave me permission to handle all of the repairs and insurance company was informed to work / go with me. Bills come in and there is a problem she will pay it or ask me to take care of it. Our dishes are dirty after she washes them and 3 of us have had upset stomachs...... from old refrozzen foods and I willnot eat things I know could contain bacteria and it makes her mad I usually just say I already ate thank you but no thanks. I'm at the end of my ropes some days and other are fine. I just do not like the mean days.
Hugs not myself
This is "must have" information. I am fairly well versed in a good bit of pharmacology, but had never given much thought to the ramifications of the effects of the "PM" versions of multi-symptom treating OTCs. Thank you!
