Re: Panic attacks

[Guest guest]

Hi Joyce,

Hope your getting better. I leave for belgium tommorow. I was

wondering where you live and what kinda insurance UHC you have . I

have gone through 2 denials with UHC of Co. and have been just

frustrated with the whole process. I would love to find out about

your version of UHC and possible use it as ammunition to get some

type of reimbersment when I get back.

Thanks Mike

> Hi, Folks. Well, Dr Gross & staff didn't know I had that sort of

reaction to morphine. Neither did I! They asked, of course, if I

had any allergies to the different drugs and I said, " no. " However,

I had gall bladder surgery years ago and had morphine and after that

surgery -- I also had a HUGE panic attack (and all the other little

panic attacks that surround the big one). It was so similar to what

I had this time that I KNEW it was related to the morphine. I did

some research... sure enough, it is one of the reactions to that

drug. Rare, they say, but it happens. I don't know what the

alternative it -- but maybe next time just hit me on the head with a

hammer and let me wake up with a headache ! Joyce (Dr Gross, LHR,
