Guest guest Posted May 1, 2000 Report Share Posted May 1, 2000 Jane, Thanks for the figures. I am excited and scared, I go for my initial visit to my PCP today. He has not been very helpful (read that as supportive) to me in the past with the weight. He treats me for whatever I go in for, but not the root cause. I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised. I am a nurse and have been self medicating with OTCs as much as possible and I am concerned that I may not have a lot of information in my medical file to help me. I have arthritis but I also have a high pain tolerance, so I take OTC pain meds rather than prescription meds. I have just modified my lifestyle to accomodate . However my lifestyle has become very limited. I am afraid these things will be held against me. I do have a backup MD who will go along with this, but I will have to change PCP and go thru that process. I am so excited about this opportunity that I am having trouble sleeping. I have written my letters and have all the PI info ready that I could. This PCP is my biggest concern at present. Sorry, I am long-winded. Again thanks for the info.
