Re: RX or No RX Suggestion Sherry

[Guest guest]

I understand your choice and or unable to take Rx that are offered, but you

do need to be carefull on how many non script meds you eat at a daily level. I

use to eat tylenol, advil, the same way, have had a ulcer, can not eat asprin

products at all goes instant to eat away at stomach! Esophagus trouble to. My

dad caused a internal hemmorage from eating handfulls of over the counter pain

meds while countinuing to work as he did not want to use the RX the Dr. told him

to use for deteriated knees needing replacement. These pain meds thought don't

cause out of it feeling, can do severe stomach, and liver, kidney damage over

long terrm use also. So be carefull. My gastro, would rather see me on the RX

pain med then all the OTC I was eating, but would definitley prefer me to take

nothing, anti-inflammatory's are absolute out, he said he wish they had never

been made, they rip and shred the digestive system to peices. I understand you

having no money and insurance which

I will soon be without again also. I luckily was diagnoised with my sleep

apnea while on a good insurance and the machine, over time of rental was paid

for as it became cheaper for them to buy if for me. I have a hard time wearing

it regular so I know this has to be part of my feeling better. I can only

suggest from my experience of all outside TX's I went through and think I have

done all suggested, except swimming in a heated pool, don't have access to. I

did do accupuncture, and it was the best, the SMALL needles, I felt so much

better after a TX that lasted a week, but my insurance would not pay for the amt

of times they wanted me to come, only 6 a yr so some came out of my pocket, and

then I had to stop as can not afford. Chiro only made it worse, massage also

feels good if they could do it everyday, ya right huh? Well just want to pass

this on, and be CAREFULL of how many OTC you eat. Hope for lighter day and

take care Sharon

I asked if anyone did not take RX because was curious if anyone else

had a tolerance issue with RX. I do take Excedrin Tension Headach it

has no asprin...but I eat them sometimes like candy. Not sure that are

doing me any good...I do know if run out, boy or boy I can 1st feel

the Headache....then I panic. and I figure out a way to get some fast!

I do hurt all the time bad. My only meds other than Excedrin is my bed.

I currently have no medical or $ for RX and doctor visits. Thats Life.

But when I was able to see Doctor, which was rare when I worked,

because I still had doctor bills even with insurance. I tryed some RX

but I could not tolerate it. I can not stand feeling worse with meds,

there has got to be someting else I could try if I ever have $ like ,

oh I don't know...just not RX.
