I think that if your AD med is not working for you, and you know that, you are a better judge of that than your doctor, most of the time.

Me too, but being considered "treatment-friendly" makes it easier to get therapy, continuation of sick leave etc...

Yes. You can (usually) have cataract surgery pretty much forever. My stepdaughter works in for an eye practice, so I know all sorts of weird shit.

Both my parents have had cataract surgery and their vision is better than mine now. I can't wait for my cataracts to come so I can stop wearing glasses. I'm too cheap to pay for laser.

Aww you guys don't be sad, I'm at peace with that decision. My dad was the kind of person my Aunties would call over to beat my cousins up until they decide they're straight after all.

I had to be a bit more strategic, subtly convince him that love comes in different forms over the years. Cause I like my nose the way it is, not broken

Sometimes it just isn't worth telling.

Crock pot chicken is delicious we just did some pulled pork in one...

Idk but pulled pork with cole slaw is delicious

Agree. On things like that, I just lie.

Actually these days I just tell my doctor what I want to try, and he says ok, and we do. But I research a lot, super annoying that way.

Morning! Love the new title!

Ugh, sounds like trying to find the right medication for depression. Another reason why I think commercials for prescription drugs should be illegal - it gets patients’ hopes up that this new thing will solve all their problems! But it’s still always a trial and error

though, do people actually believe what they hear in the commercials? I assume they are all like the hot milfs waiting for my call in online commercials.

I've considered lying too. Would need to buy the meds, though... when they are deciding upon whether I get reimbursement for the treatment, they can actually check whether I have used my recipe. They are electronic nowadays. And at least I don't get side effects with the current very low dose.

You're telling me there aren't hot women who want to chat!? Way to ruin my dreams

 

[Strixaluco]

like northern canada/alaska cold i know but the gulf stream has already been affected by climate change or so i've seen on tv documentaries

Gulf Stream still mostly works as it used to.

about the public transport systems: yes even along the suburbs it's still better than in most us cities (based on my experience and what i've

in a country such as the usa it does make sense

You didn't mention the gender of the person who said this. I'm not going to make assumptions...

It was the man himself lol

That used to be the rule in the US until Reagan administration decided the pharmaceutical companies ought to direct market. It's stupid and terrible for the public imo.
I have SO many complaints about prescription commercials. So many are misleading, are for *problems* that are so rare it is irresponsible to advertise to the general public. My current pet peeves are on the ones to treat Tardive disconesia (the culprit meds that cause this are rarely prescribed any more) and the floating bent carrot commercials for pirones disease. In 30 years of family practice I don't recall a patient presenting with a penile fracture. I'm not saying it doesn't happen (it does) it just doesn't rise to a general, prime time TV marketing campaign.
I wish they would just stop. One of many reasons healthcare in the US is both expensive and broken.

/rant over

Are you and Md/NP? You make so much sense now

Crock pot chicken is delicious we just did some pulled pork in one...
