SICK & TIRED OF BEING SICK & TIRED !* [ MEDS & SPECIALISTS ] > FRUSTRATED...

[TriggerPoint]

Having ALL The Tests Done On My Heart, Kidneys, & Everything Concerned With Having HB, Everything Comes Back Fine. But ? Why In The World, If All My Tests Are Great, Am I Still On 3 Different BP Meds ? My Doc Just Shrugs His Shoulders & Tells Me, " So You Won't Have A Stroke" ?* THAT Is What Really Angers Me About Doctors. I'm Like "What's Causing It ? [ to myself ]. I Go To The Doctor To Get A ANSWER !* There's Gotta Be A Cause ?* If It's Caused By My Anxiety Then SAY SO !* Don't Say I'll See Ya Again In 3 Months ?* I Have Found That Xanax Lowers My Heart Rate & BP Much Better Than All These BP Meds [ though i take the BP meds because you can't just quit ]....Nuts I Know. But ? It Gets The Job Done.[ Have Had Real HB On The BP Meds, & Nothing !*Then ? Took Xanax & It Went Right Down.] So ? If My Heart & Everything Is Doing Great, Why Am I On The BP Meds ? For Goodness Sake ! With ALL These Different Meds I Have ? & ALL Of Them Having Side Effects ? How Is A Person Supposed To Have ANY Get Up & Go ?*

You May Be Saying,"Well, You May Need A Better Diet & Lose Some Weight". Look, I Just Turned 61. ALL My Anxiety Attacks Came Back Strong About A Year Ago. [ Why ? I Don't Know ]. I Weighed 212 lbs. I Now Weigh 170. I Haven't Tried To Lose Weight ?* I Just Don't Wanna Eat As Much. Shouldn't I Feel Great By Now ? NO !* It's One "Specialist" After Another ALL Year Long. Procedure After Procedure !* So Far ?* No Really "Major Issues" At All !* But ? They'll Give You Another Med. For A Symptom. Therefore More Side Effects..... PLA-ease....

& What's With ALL These "Specialists" ?* For Goodness Sake !* My CO-PAYS Have Been Hurting My Family BAD !* There Are Times We Actually Eat The Cheapest Store Brand Soups Cold In A Can [ 1 a day ] With A Piece Of Loaf Bread Because MY CO-PAYS Are BREAKING US Every Month !* [ and it hurts my heart so bad to see my family like this because of all my meds and CO-PAYS have strapped us almost dry ]. & ALL These "Specialists" DOUBLE My CO-Pays !* They Take 227 Bucks A Month Outa My Check [ just for me ] For Insurance I Really Can't Afford To Use !* Pause & Let That Sink In.....That's NUTS !* How Is My ANXIETY DISORDER Supposed To Get A Little Better ?* REALLY ?* [ sorry, i see i vented there a little ]. But Seriously, They Have A "Specialist" For A "Specialist" For Each Cell In Your Body It Seems. I STILL Have 2 More "Specialists" To See Before The End Of The Year. I Have ANOTHER "Kidney Specialist" To See After Seeing 2 That Found Nothing Wrong In All Their Tests, However One Thought I Needed To See One More... [???]... & A Neurologist Which Is Understandable. My Spinal & Neck Pain Is Through The Roof Allot.

I Am On Like 8 or/ 9 Different Meds. Are You Kidding ?* With Nothing SERIOUSLY Being Found So Far ?* [ Other Than My "Known" PTSD Anxiety Disorder ]... The Combination Of Almost ALL Of Them Affects The Liver & Kidneys & Are SUPPOSED To Be "Monitored Closely" By A Doctor. NOBODY IS DOING THAT By The Way or/ Seem To Wanna Take It Seriously.

AM I ALONE ON THIS ?*

IS ANYBODY ELSE "TIRED OF BEING SICK & TIRED ?*

Thanks For Listening...God Bless Ya~*

You need to find a different doctor. Keep going until you find the right one. My husband had a GP which sounds allot like your dr. Just shrugged his shoulders and made some off handed comment. Well my hubs ended up colon cancer. He got to the right doctors but geeze! Good luck to you. Do t fool around with a shoulder shrugged.
