I would like to do that, but she isn’t interested. She doesn’t have dementia and is capable of taking her meds herself, but refuses. I will reiterate her refusal to take the vitamins to her doctor, but she tells him herself. She is open with the fact she has difficulty taking any med, including vitamins. It’s been a struggle for her for a long time. She claims she’s allergic or has a reaction….but he and everyone knows it’s not true. Last year, she pushed through her anxiety and allowed me to give her the B12 injections each week. Eventually, she got it up to over 1300. Then, she stopped the monthly dose. The last test said it was around 300. Now….it’s probably close to what it used to be….70. I’ve begged her to see a therapist. She refuses. Hopefully, her doctor can convince her to begin supplements again.
Thanks for the comment though. I do prepare my father’s med tray and we supervise as he takes it. He takes what the doctor prescribes with no issues. He has multiple medical issues and dementia.
