[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 431677, member: 1233"] Kiesta, we have settled THAT fight - he was told that he would either take what the doctor rx'd the way the doctor rx'd it or he WOULD be dragged BACK to the doctor to explain WHY. He hates going to the doctor, so that solved that one after I did it about ten years ago. I adored his doctor then - for him, and her partner for me. She would let me call in a list of what was wrong with him if I couldn't go with him to the doctor. Then after asking him what was wrong ("nothin" she would ask WHY I said that this list of things was going on. ALWAYS got on him for that "nothin'" and read him the riot act for not taking the rx'd medications the time I dragged him in. He now will swallow anything I give him. He used to fight it, but he knows that I have researched the medication, the problem, and know what is going on and that he will feel better if he does - and will feel worse AND get me insisting he do all sorts of chores if he doesn't. Cause if you don't need the medications you must be feeling just fine so go and clean this, fix that, run the errands, and do the other things. I will ask him what he has taken (usually nothing or what the doctor said) and then he will take what he needs that I give him. It is the middle of the night sttuff that bugs me. I was up for four hours after he fell asleep and I wouldn't have been up at ALL if he hadn't coughed so much. Now I feel even yuckier than I did yesterday with the storm headache. Grrrrr.. [/QUOTE]
