Drugs at sea

A lot of pills are really Bad for you.
Three years ago I visited my 82 year old brother, ex Seafarer, He told me he was on 16 tablets a day. and showed me a bowl full of them , his wife said he had to take them. I was shocked to see that he was a very confused man at that time.
One was Valium which is Diazepam and the side effects are many the symptoms are similar to Dementia, , and others of a doubtful nature. I asked him where he got them from. He told me, from his adopted son, who had a conviction for drug dealing and his wife insisted that he took.
His wife said he has to take 8 in a morning and 8 at bedtime. I do not like his wife or his adopted son.
So I went to the hospital to ask for their advise as his only ailment was blood pressure.
They told me that Sixteen tablets a day was certainly way over the top, "Bring him in and I will get a Consultant to check him over."
I went to his home to tell him, his wife, [2nd wife ] went berserk, "You have no right to interfere with his medication." she screamed.
I got him to the Doctors and the Doctor put him on five tablets a day for the blood pressure, all the other eleven were illegal drugs.
I was very suspicious, that she and her son were trying to kill him off.
I went away for two months on my annual cruise to Australia and when I retuned he was in a "Care" Home. I went to visit him and he didn't know why he was locked up there. He thought he was only there for two weeks to recover from his illness then he would go home.
He is locked in a tiny room, no daylight, just staring at a blank wall with eight other men in various stages of dementia.
Two and a half years later he is still locked in a room three floors up, and has never seen the sun for two and a half years.
We complained to his wife, she said he has to be in there, so she complained to the Social Services and the "CARE" Home, and had us banned from visiting, All my family, his brothers, sisters, his four real sons, are all banned from visiting him. We had a big meeting in the Offices of the Social Services and the owners of the "Care "Home. and after three hours of discussions we were told we were still banned from seeing him, his own sons have not seen their father for over two years. The ban is really on my brother because he cannot see his own family.
His wife has the right to stop anyone from visiting him by law.
So we think that she and her drug dealing son were trying to get rid of him and now they succeeded, legally.
We have tried to get the decision overturned with lawyers advice but in law what the wife says has to be done.
So after two and a half years the evil bitch has won.
.
All because of a mix of tablets. like any chemical, one is harmless on its own, But mix another chemical into it and it becomes explosive. That is happening inside your bodies when you take several tablets.
I was told by my doctor to take five blood pressure tablets a day, my blood pressure was always sky high.
I saw another doctor and now I am on two a day and blood pressure in normal and I feel a lot better.
So always revue your tablet intake.
Cheers

Hi John S.
I had a heart attack at 62, but I thought it was a blood clot, spent five day in intensive care, When I got out the Cardiologist gave me six pills, at home I used to wake up fighting off all kinds of weird creatures at night. went back to see him, he said OH! didn't I tell you, you could have hallucinations? He took me off one of them,then I saw my own Dr who said give them all away except the Ternormin, which I have taken since, not a problem in twenty years since, my blood pressure is normal as is my pulse rate, and my cholesterol, so god knows what the other pills were for; and what effect they might have had in that time.
Cheers Des

One of the pills is for the Thyroid, and of course aspirin, which I have cut back to one every 2 days now. The wife after her first of two hip replacements have to give a daily injection in case of blood clotting. She is unable to do this for herself as is too squeamish, and has had to let me do through there being no one else available. She didn't believe me when I said it was quite a regular thing to give injections at sea. So any back chat now threaten her with the needle, only 4 more to go and then stop given. So will be defenceless once again. Cheers JS
