TAU :
My 80 year old uncle, stop taking all of his new medication because he was feeling dizzy. Not knowing which of his pills was the cause of the new onset he refused to take any of them. The problem was no one took the time out to explain the new medication to him. One of the medication was iron three times a day, the other was fioricet twice a day. He has had the headaches for several months now, MRI, CAT scans all with no diagnosis. When he was admitted last week for a hemoglobin of 6.5 he had a few transfusions and was discharged for the hospital with only the Rx in his hand.
He was home taking the medication as he was told to then stopped abruptly. I arrived in Delaware over the week to check on him and that is when he told me about
