Family looking for advice
Family member has been having falls almost every single day. She has been taking Teriflunomide
For at least the last year, maybe even two however when we manufacturer changed that’s when she started experiencing some issues like she would throw up the medicine, experience stomach pains and I believe this is when she started to have high blood pressure. She was placed on meds for high blood pressure and started experiencing a metal taste therefore she wasn’t really eating food. Anyhow she went all of July without the MS meds due to insurance issues, she started the medication back however she continues to fall. It feels like even more recently.
Her PCP stated it’s the MS meds the neurologist is sayings it’s the BP meds we are going in circles here. Neurologist said it could be a manufacture issue because some put in additives and that if she isn’t feeling well he’ll have to take her off meds for 30 days and change her medication but that just sounds like we’re going backwards again.
Any advice suggestions ? A ER visit wouldn’t help right.
