Homeopathic remedy for headache

Thinking of you Bags

And me bags. Hope there is some good news this afternoon.

Thank you, peeps. The news is good. Mum was kept in hospital for two nights while they did tests and interpreted results. The discharge on Friday said that the likely reason for her collapse on Wednesday was "postural hypotension", which I think means she fainted. This was always a possibility in my mind but with the paracetamol issue and her age and thinness (I feared broken bones initially) it was important to get help and checks.

My brother took over from me on Thursday after his return from holiday. I took him to see mum in hospital that afternoon as he wasn't fit to drive (jetlag) and, while I was there mum told him she'd only been admitted to hospital because there was "no-one else at home". This hurt at first but now I rather hope she forgets all about my two-week presence because if she remembers about my removing paracetamol from her bag I suspect I will never be forgiven. No regrets. I did what seemed right at the time.

I'm now back home and, basically, shattered. Thank you all for your support.

Look after yourself Bags - I know it's a cliche, but it's important you do.
I'm glad it wasn't anything more than 'postural hypotension' and understand your hurt at your mother's remark - but she probably doesn't remember accurately what happened, and at her age, many people lose their sense of how their words impact on others. I remember a beloved old aunt once complaining that no-one ever went to see her - in fact she had quite frequent visits from various family members.
Is the cause of your mum's headache being investigated? she shouldn't need a continuous dose of paracetamol, should she?

Glad your mother is out of hospital at least. Have you thought of Tic Tacs as a placebo? They look like pills and used to work on children with travel sickness when we weren't allowed to give them real remedies. Strange but true.

Let's hope she has forgotten all that Bags - can you buy sugar pills these days?

You've had a tough 2 weeks I think bags. Hope you are relaxing in your lovely part of the world now. Do let us know if you're in the NW again, all my best wishes.

Thank you, nana3. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and the other gransnetters on 4 Aug and hope I can do that again some time

The headache was possibly caused by low BP then ? hopefully you are both on the mend x

I've written a blog post about other stuff I did during the fortnight I was with my mum. If anyone'd like to read it, PM me and I'll send you a link.

Just so you know I was having fun some of the time too
