Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 My sister has RA. She is 50 and has had it since the age of 16. She has had ups and downs with RA. She got to the point about 20 years ago that she would never try to do or go to PT. She just won't. All she wanted and still wants are pills.... This past week she went to a Dr. in a small town because she was having back pain. She told them she had pulled a muscle and was in horrible pain. They gave her a shot of demoral. Gave her four prescriptions and called for a driver to take her home..... Within 2 days she was hullicanating and really out of her head. We brought her to the hospital and they called it an overdose. Within 36 hours the Dr. that gave her these meds saw her in the hospital- told her he would release her and gave her the same prescriptions. ??? We are worried about her. She already takes about 15- 20 other RA meds, sleeping pills and who knows what else. She is furious that we are questioning her meds and what is going on with her..... She thinks we are being mean.. HELP- what do we do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
