This afternoon I got a call from my doc's office about medicare telling them I needed an annual checkup. I proceeded to lose my shit on the poor woman. I have to go to the doc 2x a year for med refills and if I'm ill - which is seldom. Now, my Doc is cool. He refused to give the vaxx and he also refused to take it which lost him his hospital privileges.
Medicare acts like they're doing us a favor. BULLSHIT We paid taxes all our lives for this. They are not entitlements and I will not kiss bureaucratic ass.
Seems like BIG Pharma is acting like Big Brother. They get the medical establishment to lower numbers on what is considered acceptable for BP, cholesterol, etc.
Tomorrow, I am contacting my Congress critters and asking them to look into the gov't getting involved in my health. You all are likely mostly young and not facing this yet. Believe me, time flies and you'll be in my position in a flash. You might want to consider contacting your critters so that you don't have to deal with this in the future.
Docs have wanted to send me home from the ER with morphine packs because my migraine pain has been so bad.
Note, I am not a doctor and am just sharing what works for me: Drink a cup of strong hot coffee as soon as I feel one coming on. While it's brewing, I rub Clearbody hemp cream usually on my left temple and upper left forehead - others might have pain on the right side. This has been a miracle and actually worked better than IVs filled with a cocktail of pain meds. Was shocked to pieces that I was able to find something that worked. I should buy stock in the Clearbody company cause I have given it to so many people with headaches, muscle aches, etc. and i'm on auto-ship to make sure I never run out.
Sounds like you suffer from cluster migraines. I did too for years. $30 for one pill to stop/improve the headache. It was so painful and disrupted my life to such a degree that I considered opting out, but was afraid of ticking off the One who gave me life. Suddenly just stopped. Haven’t had one in almost thirty years now
That's what the docs think too. The nickname is "suicide headaches" because the pain is so incredible. I have a pain scale that I equate to an earthquake intensity scale. Post surgical pain is a 5. Bladder spasms which doctors say are like late stage labor ,I give an 8.5. The headaches are a 10.
I was finally able to understand why some with bad pain do opt out. My husband and children but especially God kept me from that move. So happy you found relief.
Thank you for posting that. I've never heard of that company or that cream. Good to know. I love learning stuff like that from frens here.
You're welcome. With the coffee it has been a miracle in my life!
I'm going to share this info with some people I know have migraines. I hope it works for them! Does it actually stop the migraine before it gets too bad, or does it just sort of make it less intense? Any improvement is good, but I'm just wondering how it works for you.
Yes, it does. I discovered it by accident one night. The pain had already started and I asked my husband for a cup of coffee thinking the heat from the cup might help. I forgot and drank it instead. W/in minutes, the pain had lessened to a mild headache and w/in a few more the pain was gone! Absolutely shocked me. Read later that coffee narrows the blood vessels and this helps.
Now, when I feel the migraine starting, I quickly make a cup of coffee and rub the cream on my temples ( I've found it can work a minute or so faster than the coffee but along with the coffee, the pain goes away.). It has been such a miracle in my life to have control over the "lose my mind" pain.
You're welcome! I hope it works for them as it did for me.
