Guest guest Posted May 2, 1999 Report Share Posted May 2, 1999 Things have changed.... Immediately after my surgery my greatest concern was how am I too swallow these pills. I am glad he decided to go IV with so many things. As for vitamins, I use the Centrum and currently take three a day. I was having problems with constent coldness... just could never warm up. Dr. R suggest increasing to three and it helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 2, 1999 Report Share Posted May 2, 1999 I was not told that, but only suggestion I have is to call the maker of the vitamin to see if crushing the pill could affect the effectiveness... same goes with any other medicine, please check with the pharmacy to make sure the medication is not available in liquid form and if not, how would crushing affect it... Kathy, did you sleep any last night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 1999 Report Share Posted May 2, 1999 I take the Wal-Mart brand too, but I have a stupid question. If the GNC brand is better (and way more expensive) why do you have to take twice as many as the OneSource? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 18, 1999 Report Share Posted May 18, 1999 Hey gang I want to say thank you for the support and yes I AM BACK!!!!! Forgive me if I am still sulking and don't congratulate everyone, but I truely am happy for you. On the plus side, you all are giving Dr R more practice to perfect his technique before he gets to me!!!!!!! I know he will get to me too, it will just take longer than I had hoped. But God never gives us more than we can bear......so I am still hanging in. As far as the NC Insurance Comm, they have not been a big help. They will tell me something is against the law (Ex. putting me through 2 first level appeals for the same surgery request) and they send a letter to Kaiser and Kaiser sends back a reply and that is it!!!!! The NC Ins Comm says it is illegal but they are not able to " take legal action " ............Shows how stupid I am, I thought that was what they were there for!!!!! Anyway, I love you all. I would not have made it through the past days without you and I am not just saying that. The way the medical profession has treated me and then ignored my mental state today, it is a wonder I didn't do something stupid. I know that you guys are the only thing that keep me sane.............I truely have love in my heart for each and every one of you...
