| Coconut Oil Fudge, Pills and Whatever We Can Manage Have Hubby Eat |
For several years now he has had Exelon or Rivastigmine pill morning and evening. At one time my husband experienced nausea with it when he didn't eat and had that pill in the morning. How he eats a small breakfast with the pill (if we are lucky here), but can get diarrhea several hours later. In April I wrote about one sort of humorous incident HERE. So I have not been giving him his Exelon morning pill some days such as Tuesday when he goes to the senior center and Sunday when we go to church. But I think we need to return to the patch and so does Canada.
Canada is going for the Excelon or Rivastigmine patch as reported HERE. Two pills are not needed and the patch can be applied once a day.
My carpal tunnel syndrome seemed to have gone away and so I wasn't taking MSM. Bad idea. Hands are showing signs I need it. Will buy more of it to take.
Currently I am off of my thyroid medicine because I am undergoing another test on June 17 and need to be off of the medicine for that test and also no fish--bummer. I have been so careful to not gain weight and do get hungry without that thyroid medicine. I have a small twinge in one eye that I used to get when I taught in the stressful public school system full-time. I wonder if this stress is because my system needs that thyroid medicine.
To save money I have been taking one of my medicines only at night with my doctor's knowledge. She may let me get off of it entirely.
My husband also takes a full strength aspirin instead of Plavix in the mornings. This suggestion came from a comment on this blog and his doctor has always approved.
What do you do to evaluate or save money on your medications?
I guess "not going to the doctor" is probably not the answer you're looking for. I know I'll live in denial about health issues for far too long. I'm such a slacker.
ReplyDeleteI slack about some things too, Marianne, like maintenance for our well water. For de-cluttering I have a C+ now but am trying. I just think that when you are older, going to the doctor happens. They just schedule your next appointment--no more of the annual check-ups.
DeleteHi Kiddo,
ReplyDeleteThyroid med is normally a life long thing I say get back on it, but talk to your doctor. I take to bayer asprin at night. since most heart problems come in early am hours until about noon and the aspirin covers that time period. I hope hubby gets back on track for you and him.
God Bless,
joe
Hi Joe! Great to hear from you. No thyrod pills until they find out about the lump next week. I do need them. Good suggestion about taking Ecotrin aspirin at night for hubby. Hubby's knee hurt him this morning so he couldn't walk, but ice worked and after an hour he was walking.

DeleteA patch instead of a pill sounds so much easier. I'm so glad you've taken the word verification off your blog.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!

Thanks, Dolores. Easy is good when we can do it.

It is interesting that carpel tunnel may be linked to thyroid. Also finding out that the TSH test is not that reliable.
ReplyDeleteHubby is switching to the Exelon Patch for a month. I had only been giving him his Exelon pill at night, because the morning one was causing diarrha. Hopefully the patch will work fine, as it first did in 2009.
