We eliminated a prescription and an OTC that he chooses to take as they may interact. He says he is better this morning, but not 100% yet.

@GardenGerty Oh - but it's good that he's better . . . hopefully by eliminating the possible culprits, he is on the road to 100%!

No, not really. I am afraid we may be on a long road. OR he could be having problems with some of his prescriptions.

@rebelann He is better but not 100 % this morning. He hates feeling like an invalid.

We are leaving off some medication as we think it causes the problems.

@GardenGerty I suppose it's with the doctor's advise that you are leaving off some medications?

I know that you have some worries as well. I think there may be quite a few of us.

@jaboUK I was not even elderly the first time around. With my dad and his wife, her family is caring for her and my brother is caring for him. They are not able to be together at this time.

@GardenGerty Yes, and have you noticed that with elderly couples it's usually the woman who looks after the man, not the other way round?

Somewhat better. We will talk with the doctor today. I know some of this could be side effects from his meds for his heart.

@Hannihar When I printed out all the side effects for his four prescriptions we saw more that we had not attributed to medicine, but it is. The doctor has discontinued two of them. He had a yearly physical yesterday with some blood tests as well so we will see how he is really doing.

He is napping. I need to earn some online money and do a major cleaning and organizing, but my mind just will not stay focused.

I am hoping that mainly it is side effects from some of his prescriptions. He has been having certain problems since May.

I think you should do something to get out of this mood. You can't really help if you worry too much, it's not good for you... neither for him. I hope these problems dissapear fast, I've been through some health problems with my loved ones and positive thinking did wonders for us all. Take care, hopefully you'll both feel better soon .

I have taken care of one husband, who ended up dying. This one has been sick off and on for a year and a half. I cannot make him think positive, but we can think about solutions.

@GardenGerty I can understand that. Your situation is indeed not that common and I'm really sorry you had to go through this kind of ordeals. I can't do much and no one here really can, but I'm sure everyone here prays for you and they are sending their best thoughts. And so am I, I really hope things get better for both of you

Hope he feels much better soon. I just settled in Daytona Beach Florida in my friend's house. I am on the second floor but they are all downstairs and everyone is coming down with some kind of virus. I am staying well clear of them.

I hope you stay well. You are likely to catch everything that comes along until you get some exposure to stateside germs. I am glad you are settling in.

Thank you, I hope so too. The things that are happening seem to be very scary and involve bleeding. Which is why we think some of the trouble is from the warfarin he takes.

I did not mow. It is morning and I will still not mow, there is some billing issues with the clinic where he got his cancer treatments, over a year ago. We are going IN PERSON to deal with this. It is the second goof up of this nature this year.
