Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi Tamera! Someone from my Hashimoto's group suggested the following site to someone else when they asked about getting some cheaper medications. http://www.inhousedrugstore.com/general/general.html He said from what he understands, it's legal to get a 3 months supply without a prescription. I haven't check out the site though and can't confirm the information. I have no idea about whether it's legal or not...that's something you would have to check out.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Hi Folks Can we rope in some of the generous endocrinologists into this forum so that we can get their inputs as well on some of the issues that we discuss. Right now, we are unable to take decisions based on what others in the forum recommend because we are not sure about its applicability. As off of us would have noticed in the mails, people are getting confused by advised and I am sure not many are able to implement the suggestions offered. Not sure if some endoc will volunteer for this cause - even spending a couple of hours a week/month should do. Of course, we should not take them to task for their general comments if things do not work fine for us as per their advise but the very fact that you have spoken to a doc keeps your confidence levels high. Let us just explore. Thanks Ramana. ---------- This e-Mail may contain proprietary and confidential information and is sent for the intended recipient(s) only.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 The only problem with having a doc in here is some here really don't trust doctors and what they say. As someone has said before, some are into the mainstream of treatment, some are totally holistic. IF you can find one that believes in the balance of the two, then you've really got something. If you can find someone like this, then I would welcome them in whole heartedly. Good luck in your hunt.

Art, This week was terrible, I had severe spasms every day this entire week. (putting me out of work sick for the week) As you do I too suffer mostly from spasms. I've never tried cold water, only room temp water. I'll will try cold water the next spasm I have, which I pray will not be too soon!

Master Notan: My Gastro knew absolutely nothing about "A" and even accused me of faking my severe spasms. He could not understand why I was having spasms if I had zero motility in my "E". There have been certainly many times when I feel that I'm HIS teacher. I guess the bottom line is, not enough research is being done and too many people are being MIS diagnosed. I originally was diagnosed with reflux, but in fact was experiencing the onset of "A". I have since found out that I do not have reflux and never did. I have had all the operations, with a 75 percent success. My main problem is spasms, which I get on my "good days" two to three times a week and last on and off for 8 to 16 hours. My career (Corrections Officer of 15 years) is in grave jeopardy. This disease really stinks and because of it's severity HAS ruled my life. For me controlling it is not an option, unfortunately. It's for me uncontrollable, it has ruined family trips, I tremble at times when in social events, these Spams are MEAN and reduce me (A six ft. 200 LB Corrections Officer who's job it is to keep murderers in line) to a disabled hulk of a man who's only comfortable position is that of, the fetal position. I am very glad that I found this group. Just knowing that I'm not alone dealing with this disease is in it self very comforting. I wish the medical community had the chance of reading some of the experiences posted in this group. Sorry for me rambling on, I'm going through one of my bad days. Stay well, from NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have recently been having lots of trouble with my stomach - something that rarely happens. Nothing bad, just not quite right. And finally, the light went on! Just wondering if anyone else who has made the switch to Celebrex recently has also had the same reaction. If so, what are your plans? I don't think there's anything else left on the market. I'm thinking I'll just stop taking it and see what happens.gloria Gloria, My doc won;t even prescribe celebrex. I was on Bextra too. It worked well for me. I still take it when I really needed it as my hoarded supply won't last forever...even though I know I can order it from Mexico with no problems...but who knows how long that will last. As it stands there is NO NSAID on the market that I can take....so beyond the bextra I am left with nothing. My doc has no answers either. I am just about completely out of drug options, period. Curently I am taking NO drugs... Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
