Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 I keep hearing that the antibiotics are expensive. My husband is about to start the AP. I thought antibiotics were LESS expensive than the conventional drugs (Plaquenil, Methotrexate). Am I wrong on this? Can someone give me an estimate or idea on the expected cost of oral antibiotics? Any help on getting these at a cost savings would be greatly appreciated.

I have been reading about these online pharmacies - here in the US meds are expensive.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 ....I am looking specifically for Celebrex, which is expensive - but it's a newer type NSAID. I assume that many of the older and/or conventional drugs are cheap. I recently paid $900 for Lederle brand minocin, the palletized type, ( maybe a years supply) there are cheaper forms available, but I wanted to use exactly what Dr. Brown suggested. However lots of people use the generic brands and do well - i.e., Doxycycline is inexpensive. kim.sherman@... wrote: I keep hearing that the antibiotics are expensive.

Find out from each what quantities are best discounted and what the best prices are. Here we commonly see price swings of 75% between pharmacies, and just because Pharmacy A has a good price on one drug, does NOT mean they have the best price on another. Locally (CA) Costco had the best price on Doxycycline, and the least expensive price per pill turned out to be in a quantity of 6 months worth. There was no price break after that.

(Available at our nonprofit, http://www.healingyou.org.) It usually works within 72 hrs to 2 weeks at the most. However, if you are determined to take Celebrex, there are several online sources including KwikMed (http://kwikmed.com/store/127404.)

It is sick when a little opiate pill can stop the pain for 6 hours. So I understand your fear and I wish you the best and the courage to tell your doctor you are in screaming pain if you are and if that does not work go to the emergency room and tell them and keep telling people until they fix it. There are many compassionate doctors in the world and there are many sadists as well. You want the compassionate kind who does not want you to experience pain, and to get a well as you can.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 > SED rate? > Dave I think you missed my previous post. Here it is I recently had my annual check with blood work done. It came back that I had a High ESR rate or Sedimentation Rate. Does anyone know what this is? Also my cholesterol was a bit high. Does anyone know how I can bring these figures down? I think I'm eating pretty well, most the things the doctor said to do, I was already doing. Would having gallstones make my sed rate high?

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 > I think you missed my previous post. I did, the way the e-mails come in I need to start at the bottom most of the time and work up. Sorry, I am clueless to a sedimentation rate. I would assume (maybe not a good idea) that they are talking about the precipitation out of solution of cholesterol (wonder how they would measure that). If so, definitely yes to stones effecting that. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that wouldn't cause any problem at all, and sea salt is better. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
