Re: Over medicated

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

It's pretty tough being 18. You want to be a " grown up " yet suddenly

realize you aren't as grown up as you thought nor ready to deal with

all that comes with the title. I hope your daughter learns from this

experience. And in reality she'll likely wobble back ands forth from

being an adult to your little girl for a few more years.

Very important though.... While she is being " grown up " , make sure she

is completely aware that some drugs she is taking should not be taken

if she is going to be consuming alcohol. At 18, that is a tough choice.

There are many long term, possible life altering consequences if she

chooses to drink alcohol and take some of these drugs. I'm sure her

doctor told her, but she likely dismissed this as overly cautious.

Finally, I hate to rant, and your concern is admirable but.....

Try to have your daughter sign on and read posts on this list. It is

her disease and part of being " grown up " is doing things like managing

and learning about your own healthcare.

Stay Well,

This is the generic form to use so that one person can receive medical

information for another. There is also an area for billing, etc.

With the new privacy laws, my husband and I have these forms at all the

doctors' offices we go to. One for each of us. We also included my niece for

medical info and my nephew for accounting info.

This is the form you should have a " grown " child sign so that parents can

talk with their doctor(s). I'm sure it won't come through clean but you can

copy and paste it into a word document, change the font to Times New Roman and

play around with the found size and it will look great.

BTW, I got this from one of our doctors when my husband was dx'd with cancer

and then refused to talk with the doctor.

Peace
