Do you know anyone that THIS has happened to? At least 3 of my aquaintances have experienced THIS: Their docs prescribed this med and that med and pretty soon their kitchen counter looks like a pharmacy. Gradually, the person is actually getting WORSE. They happen to find another doc and he or she asks what meds they take. They respond, and with some study, the new doc takes them off MOST of the meds and alters their diet. Within a week or two, they feel alot better, has a new "spring" in their step, etc.
Nancy, you are so right- when i worked in the hospital I used to do admissions as part of my job. I always had to find out what medications they were on. Some patients were on so many meds I almost fell over. It was ridiculous, and many were younger than me.
