By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

The ER doctor had a long talk with me about this medication and the possible side effects. I started with half a tablet and watched my Mom like a hawk. The next morning I gave her a full tablet and she didn't have any side effects, only relief. She didn't get dizzy, her personality was the same, etc.
Then I made an app't with her family doctor and showed him the paperwork from the ER. He would not write a prescription for the Norco. He words were to me "I do not prescribe narcotics"...
I lost my temper and said to my Mom "we are wasting our time here" and we walked out.
I do understand the family doctor's concern but my Mom took this medication for 2-1/2 days and she was fine. So what is the family doctor's problem? Or I am being naïve here?
I don't think my Mom has food allergies (except for being lactose intolerant). I give her very plain food, no spices, etc. She doesn't consume caffeine.
Her pain is above her eyes and after doing some research I think it's possible she could have a sinus infection but I'm not a doctor. I have used a netti pot on her and that gives her relief (irrigating her nasal passages).
I'm going to heat up some ACV (apple cider vinegar) with water and let her breathe that in and see if that helps her. ACV is supposed to be good for sinus infections.
She also has an eye app't the end of this month. Hoping she gets relief soon!
Study the foods she is eating and see if there are any common ingredients that are in them. MSG? Caffeine? Soy? all can be headache triggers. You can google common ingredients. My friend's daughter was so laid up with headaches. And stomach issues. It was MSG .
You can try an elimination diet process where you cut out certain foods for a period of time. Good luck.

I just put in a call to speak to her M.D. (not her PA) and hopefully he will call me back today.
It just breaks my heart to see my Mom in so much pain from these headaches...
