I agree here about the BP rx concerning and when a thyroid is not functioning, well this is a recipe for feeling really poorly. Yikes how are you doing? Kp. an eye on the BP but mostly you know when it's up and down yes? It just makes me so sad docs no longer have time for us-the patient. This is nothing new.Way before the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
I just wished we had a system in place to take care of each other esp. during crisis times. Any of you familiar with the Costa Rica healthcare system? Google it if you like but suffice to say they have many world class doctors, and a system that gives and supports funding of healthcare for ALL. You do not get excluded if you are under-insured or not insured and you do not give up your life savings on medications and care.
There are medications that are not approved by the US FDA that are routinely used in other countries like CR. Some are merely supplements on the cheap. Do they work?? Yes. Will we ever see them here? No cuz what would the pharm giants do without the huge cost-profit margin? :~) anyone watch Dallas Buyer's Club with Matthew Mc. and Jared Lito (sp)? Please watch it if you have the opportunity. Perhaps waiting mid-way on the emotional roller coaster would be advised. It is an excellent depiction of what happens when things that work. True story about a Dallas TX man.
lastly I wanted to say that the USA gross domestic product is somewhere in the neighborhood of 30%. Hmmm. Makes me sick.
This is the method we have found to take care of one another ;~)! So all is not lost by any means. Love to you people that are here strong or not, feeling better of suffering greatly, we go forward together and help each other out. Thanks for having me and your enormous resources of real life information.
BTW unable to get ginger root so no feedback as to if it helps me specifically. Had to come straight home. Darn it. Thanks to FN, Fishhat, Carleeta, Lundeliz, equiswoman -and every single one of you I have read all posts and feel better. TY You are loved.
