Sharon - My family and I thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Rhonda has
been seeking help for quite a while, one of the problems is that she's had
several doctors that seem to think pills are the answer to everything, so much
so that they have convinced Rhonda ! She is on so much medication that she
stopped being functional a while ago, she's now wanting to quit because she's
lost sight of functional, and seems to think that it's out of her reach. I
realize there's probably nothing we can do to help the "chemical Rhonda", she
doesn't even remember conversations the next day. But the "mandy's sister
Rhonda" is a beautiful, wonderful person that I cherrish, I am just at a loss
for what to say or do, I honestly don't think she has a chance unless they get
her off of all the meds. She can't bump two brain cells together, and More
Meds stopped being the answer a long time ago, she just won't turn loose of
them, believing that if the doctor said she needs them, she has nothing to
worry about. I hate doctors who are more attached to their prescription pad
than they are their patients ! Especially the ones who screw with my family. I
am angry at the ignorance hidden behind the curtain that says "HELP". When she
went looking for help, she was so annoying that they just poked more pills at
her, I think in the hope of her sleeping somewhere so SHE wouldn't bother
them. BEWARE OF DOCTORS THAT THINK THE CURE FOR EVERYTHING IS ONLY A
PRESCRIPTION PAD AWAY ! THEY ALMOST KILLED ME THREE YEARS AGO, AND NOW THEY'VE
GOT MY SISTER ! I REFUSE TO TAKE ANY MEDS ANYMORE, OF ANY KIND, IT TERRIFIES
ME, AND NOW YOU ALL KNOW WHY. tHANKS, mANDY
