My grandma has persistent dizziness, brain fog, extreme joint pain, muscle wasting and anxiety. She is totally miserable and non-functional.
She has told me many times she thinks it’s two medications she’s taking, but under no circumstance will she stop taking them (statin and pregabalin).
These medications are not in any way saving her life and I have told her many times that just because a doctor told her to take them doesn’t mean she has to obey them. She can’t understand my rationale and literally cannot “disobey” the doctor. Milgram experiment in action. It is *so* frustrating because she is suffering constantly and looks to me for help.
