Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 Great Idea GAYLE and HEY what a marketing concept! It is important to know your liver friendly meds from your not so liver friendly meds. I recall a visit to my Dermatologist recently, who obviously didn't read my chart thourougly prior to my appt, was about to prescribe to me ACUTANE which is a big no no from those with liver probs. Today, I won't take anything another Doctor other then my gastro has prescribed to me unless they have consulted with him. From estrogen for birth control to a topical acne medication. P.S. HEIDI, did you ever get the list you were talking about? Thanks, Jen On Wed, 25 Apr 2001 23:46:39 EDT, wrote: > Hi Hiedi, > If you see as many doctors I see every week.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 Hi Jen, The list on a small card the docs love it. They also know I am watching everything that I am paying attention. Besides I was getting a dry mouth listing them all. gayle trans/6-99 ^oo^ galye@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 Gee and I thought I was the only one that did that. I also inscribe my latest liver counts, and any other blood tests I have gotten recently. My GP says I have better records than him :-) -Clyde =========================================================+ Help save a life, become an organ and tissue donor today.| =========================================================+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Even though I missed the start of this thread, I just want to say that I take at least a dozen meds each day. Many more than once a day also. My fibro meds are Lodine, Ultram, Neurontin and Darvocet. My rheum won't give me a regular muscle relaxant though. Also take melatonin as needed for sleep, Fish Oil caps and Co enzyme Q10, too. Debbie L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Oh, Heidi, (and all group) So very well put, Thank goodness for the balance of this great group, I also hope it helps people feel more confident venturing into the unknown of a new med regime, when sometimes well wishers , friends and family though with the best intentions,come out with scare stories.Just listen to your rheumy team suggestions, read widely, question thoroughly, and post and read here for your info! Then go for what seems rght for you. Everyone is at a different stage of the journey, and the rails and destinies will not be the same.
