Yesterday I had a doctors appointment for my feet. i have the paltar fascitis thingee. I told him i can't take anti-inflams anymore since they caused my D, so he tells me the only thing he can do is tape my feet and give me a shot in each heel. Well, afterward i couldn't feel my feet, but that wasn't the biggesgt problem. I have had those shots in my shoulder and they didn't do anything but raise my bs. Which last night i ended up fighting all night long with bs;s in the 300's and over trying… Continue

I have been taking Chantix for a while now to help me quit smoking. The drug makes you physically sick you smoke while taking it.That can be a good thing as it literally makes you put the cigeratte out.

Does anyone ever get fed up with doctors who don't listen to you? You tell them what is going on with when they ask and they walk all over what you are saying and don't read what is right in front of them, of the notes they took the last time you were in there. My primary care doc listens to me (but you cna't get one doctor to contradict another one), but he did tell me that we would get a second opinion if the physical therapy for my shoulder did not help. I just can't figure out how physical… Continue
