Good morning oldsters.........................hope everyone is safe and had a great Saturday ............I am setting here contemplating my course of action regarding my health issues with my ailments and my doctor.........The 12 day lapse in my above posts concerning my doctor's negligent behavior has allowed me to take the steps I feel will help me the best...
I have decided to stop taking my steroid meds , as it has been 10 weeks on them with NO relief from the pain and numbness in my hands and fingers ....I have gained approximately 18 lbs and along with the shortness of breath side effect, I feel it's time to chart a new path .....I will be increasing my 420 and alcohol meds as they were helping more than the crazed lab rat approach that the doctor put me on....
I have also stopped taking the Buspar anti anxiety med as it was DEFINITELY causing the migraines......The doctor told me to stop taking my blood pressure meds as it was in controllable range now for my age and height and weight........this brings me back to the same argument I have with the TRIAL and ERROR mentality of the medical profession today.....I already sent the doctor a message that I will NOT be getting the 2 new med scripts that he forgot to send fully through to the pharmacy as the side effects are as lengthy as any I have researched since I started seeing this doctor on May 9th ........
I have no time to spare being used as a lab rat trying this and that to no avail..............I will continue my Nervive and Excedrin migraine OTC plans along with an increase in my 420 and alcohol meds......I might not be cured but I will feel better as I deal with the ailments......
That brings me to the moral of this post.......... We are not blind lemmings to do and act as doctors tell us....Sometimes we will have to follow their advice , but it is imperative that we learn our bodies and if something isn't working , then don't be afraid to say no and try something else.....
The fallout from the covid 19 virus pandemic will be far-reaching and not fully understood for many years.....The isolation and worry of contracting the virus has put some people leary of the vaccines.....I understand that , but I , myself , decided it was in MY best interest to get vaccinated ......
NOW, I have decided it is in MY best interest to stop taking the meds that my doctor has put me on ........It's my life and I want to be as happy as possible and taking the meds he prescribed has changed me into another person without any relief from the ailment that he prescribed the meds for......
VERY EASY DECISION FOR ME.........
"""" My man has the gonads to make tough choices and I love him for that .....He's a man's man , and he's MY man.....my pru """
I might be old , but I'm not dumb......And you can take that to the bank.....................
