She needs to fix it for herself. It's not your job, or even a healthy thing for a relationship, for you to be fixing her problems. She needs to have them fixed on her own.

As someone who's had to take Ibuprofen and other medications regularly for long periods of time, and as someone who has consulted many about how to help her with this problem, I disagree with you. Yes, Ibuprofen can be damaging if taken for extremely long periods of time without supervision. KK is to be taking 500mg of Ibuprofen once a day EVERYDAY for a minimum of 2 months. And since she hasn't been able to do that, we cannot move onto the next phase of basic attempts for treatment. While I know you mean well and are trying, I'm asking for your help to get KK to do this one thing so we can try to get it under control. Yes, she may be having less frequent attacks, but 1) they're still happening and 2) then continue to return. So regardless of whether they have taken a brief hiatus(sp?) she needs to follow some home-care instructions before much more can be done. Also, this dosage for this period of time, if taken consistently and followed correctly cannot harm her easily. It's the having to continually start over again that makes it harmful. Please make her do this. She should be doing it on her own, but since she's not, I figure you're the next best thing.

She's not fixing anything. She's just being a reminder to make sure I remember that we have expenses to pay for. The money I haven't spent and have saved for whatever is because she helps me realize that I need to.

I don't have to be taking Ibuprofen every day. I've done just fine without it, except for those rare attacks. And the reason I'm not as concered about taking it constantly is because I don't have Pericarditis anymore. I was rediagnosed with Costochondritis. I've done what they told me to, and I haven't had a huge problem with it. I take medicine when I'm supposed to, which would be when it acts up. The doctor told me to take Motrin after I went to the ER, and I did. I also have my Bayer that I bought. There's no extra steps I need to take. The doctor told me that when I get approved for MassHealth, to get a primary so that they could do more tests, because the ER is only there to make sure it ISN'T something serious, not to really pinpoint exactly what the problem is.

No one's gonna "make" me do anything. You know how I am when someone tries to make me do anything. I do what I need to, to take care of myself. If I'm in any position where I can't coherently remind myself to take something, Taylor remembers and gives it to me. But I've been doing fine on my own, thank you. I don't need someone standing over me telling me what the fuck to do with my life. I've had enough of that shit.
