Hubby refuses to take his meds -- help!

[Laura's Babies]

For your allergy problem, have you tried those sinus flush kits or a neti pot? Years ago, I had allergy and sinus problems and started flushing them out myself. It is non addictive, you can do it as many times a day as you need to, it is CHEAP and it works so GOOD! It stings like he** when you first do it because your sinuses are inflamed but after about the 3rd time, it just makes you feel so good, you can't wait to do it again.. It settled my allergy problem like you wouldn't believe, and the best part... NO side effects other than feeling 100% better!

You can get a neti pot like you see here http://www.luckyvitamin.com/079565005133.html

Use bottled water and noniodized salt and make your own flush solution like I did for years.

$$ Cost wise, the only thing it costs you is the pot that is reused for years if you need it , a box of non idoized salt and bottled water, cheap when I think of all the years of medicines I bought.

The results are unbelievable.

Geesh, I hate it when they're behavior makes ya so mad ya don't know whether to fight or cry!
After being taken by ambulence to the hosp. & told he had an "episode" with his heart & should go see his doctor, my hubby put off going through with the testing for MONTHS. I finally said to him "Well, you've talked about wanting to just check out (had some very stressful events), so I guess here's your chance - Just don't do anything about it." He went to the doctors shortly thereafter.

As mentioned, nagging doesn't help. He has to hurt enough to want to stop hurting. Pray that it doesn't cost him his life while he's deciding.

Kim - would it help to see YOUR doctor and ask for advice?

Though if he is going to the store with you to use the BP kit there, I hope that does something.

Maybe he doesn't like his doctor? He can get another one.

Prayers going out to you!

ALSO - when I had chronic sinus problems, I got a baby ear syringe, would gently warm some filtered water (about 1/3 c), dissolve some salt in it. The I would tilt my head back, and inhale thru my nose as I put the salt water in.

Don't make it TOO salty. The salt also is a bit of an antiseptic. It worked like a charm for me. I use it when I have a cold too.

(PS - have a few kleenexes handy! )

Well I'm back from the doctors. I swear I feel like I'm there at least once a month lately

First off, *MY* bloodpressure was high -- 120/90. Its all HIS fault!!!! If I weren't fighting him over his BP meds, I wouldn't have high BP myself! LOL The nurse is a childhood friend of hubby's and she asked how he's doing. I told her about the refusal to take the meds thing and she said, "He's a high-risk case!" Uh, could you please tell him that?

Second, I might have a hearing issue not related to allergies So I have an appointment set up with the Ear doctor for some tests and such. Sigh

Thirdly, all my blood tests from a few weeks ago came back wonderful. My cholesterol was a little high. Nothing to worry about, just watch my diet. My sugars and thyroid levels are awesome.

WHY can't hubby take care of himself like I do? He makes fun of me for all my trips to the doctor "for every little sneeze" yet I'm not the walking heart attack waiting ot happen.

Tell him "Because I love you and our family and I want to be here for you as long as I can." Then be quiet!

Called Setting an Example/Dropping Another Hint!

I hope your hearing test goes ok! Hugs and prayers!
