My grandma has persistent dizziness, brain fog, extreme joint pain, muscle wasting and anxiety. She is totally miserable and non-functional.

These medications are not in any way saving her life and I have told her many times that just because a doctor told her to take them doesn’t mean she has to obey them. She can’t understand my rationale and literally cannot “disobey” the doctor. Milgram experiment in action. It is *so* frustrating because she is suffering constantly and looks to me for help.
