[QUOTE="nvts, post: 101903, member: 3814"] Jo, I'm really sorry you're going through this. I have a question: Has anyone checked with her gp and found out an extensive list of ALL of her medications, dosages and any over the counter stuff that she might be taking? If you're thinking strokes, and she's taking say a blood pressure medication or an anticoagulant, one could be messing with the other. Since she's going from house to house over the last few months, there may be a medication that she's supposed to be taking and ISN'T because no one really knew what she's been prescribed. Then to top it all off, one dr. takes her off the lipitor and then your sister puts it back into her without checking with anyone. You need to also look into exactly what type of vitamins or herbal supplements (don't forget teas and coffee supplements that she could be taking - even if she's gotten into green tea with echanacea) which could be messing with her prescribed medications. I guess I'm worried that she may still be vital and something may be overlooked that could return her to that person she was in July/August. Sorry if I offend, [img]:wink:[/img] Beth [/QUOTE]
