How old is your niece? Are we talking a toddler, or a pre-teen, or a teen or an adult? You guys need to get her daughter now, if she is not an adult. Is she old enough (the daughter) to talk on the phone with you?

I think she should tell the hospital she took the medicine the nurse gave her so they can eliminate it from a possible poison or find it if it is poisonous to her. One mans medicine can be another mans poison, this goes for natural remides too. What was it her roomate gave her? It could have also been bad. Maybe it was something like betaine hydrochloride and it needed to be swallowed whole. That can tear up someone's lungs. Sometimes the pills start to fall apart if they are old and burn the mouth.
But it could be anyhing, I have no clue. Everyone has a different metabolism. Maybe it is also a coincidence, maybe the reason she was feeling ill is the real reason she is sick too. But the doctors should be made aware of what she took.

Well, honestly (and with no ill intent at all), it sounds like there may be more than just physical issues going on with your sister. If your sister is in danger of being poisoned or injured by herself or someone else (regardless of whether she has or not), and she refuses to tell anyone her specific location I would say she sounds like she may be a danger to herself...and you might consider asking authorities to place her on a 5150 hold for both psychiatric and physical evaluation.
The lady she lives with is a bit odd. Nothing specific but I've had a weirdo alert since hearing about her. She recently bought my sister a dog that she never asked for. She also has my niece with her. She is kind and treats her like a daughter. In many ways is very demanding of my sister. Side note, the ladies son just died.

I am wondering if your sister concerned also?
I would think that you could do nothing unless she is concerned herself, she is an adult.
Maybe she had symptoms as per hear first and the woman gave her

You know there are places online that you can look at to match any pill any tablet or capsule has numbers or names on them and the color also shows what they are.
Or perhaps digitalis.
It dissolved around her mouth immediately.

We've been trying to convince her. She wont even take it with her to the hospital! She is there now but she only keeps alluding to being poisoned. She doesn't want to be direct in case she is wrong. I understand her but I TOTALLY disagree. It's not just that the roommate gave her something that she shouldn't have. There is a lot to it and I just don't have the energy at this moment. Catching up a little with everyone.
I just now read your other replies. Thanks for the information. I knew some of it but wasn't thinking about it so I appreciate that. I'll have her check her fingernails and i'll look when I get there.
