[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 474148, member: 3419"] Thank you. FYI, yes, P has a Fentanyl patch and that's part of the complaint I am finishing up from recent mo's. She is also on Percocet and a cpl of other things. Yesterday, we had a thorough neurological workup, and the dr increased her Cymbalta dosage (it works for psychiatric and pain issues, as most of you are aware), and increased either the trazadone or gabepentin. She said that one of both of those (probably the Cymbalta) was supposed to have been started at the lowest dose, then increase incrementally. No one touched it for a yr. Grrr. So I hope by tomorrow, or at maybe Monday, we'll see some results. But I wanted to get to the bottom of the tailbone issue (excuse the expression :) ), which is why I made the neurology appointment. She will be having a brain MRI in a few wks. Also, the point is not the medications right now; it is that this is her HOME and she should not be yelled at. You'd think these nurses would be trained to deal with-dementia pts. This is not a Caribbean resort for scuba diving. The nurse I am writing the complaint about, T, is uncoachable. Not worth re-training. She needs to be fired and has personality issues. [/QUOTE]
