I come from different times and different lands lol. That was always the case, you just had to sweat it out. Ok, done. Now, change the pajamas and back under the doona lol Body needs to be allowed to do its job and heal. I remember my

brother was just over two yrs old and had worryingly high fever and mum got a sheet, wet it with very cold water and wrapped it around him. And did it again and again. There was no medication to give and I'm so grateful for that, both my brother and myself have been very healthy all our lives and I credit the lack of medical intervention and good nutrition for that.

Do an article on the outcomes of bad surgeries. And you can add insurance companies to that who insist on Laporatomy first. Two C-sections old style, over time Adhesions, Endometriosis and, Cysts, You have to do the Lap surgery first. They do manage to remove the scar tissue, but that did not fix the problem. They didn't get the Cyst on the ovaries. Six months later the pain is back, as are the Adhesions and Endometriosis. So a Full Hysterectomy is now needed. OB didn't do a good job with the sew-up. Left a pocket, and the two sides were lopsided. Making perfect areas for chronic yeast infections. They get worse as you age. What Is not told you is estrogen causes GERD. Woke up puking Acid. Nine months of various attempts at replacing the still-needed Estrogen. None of it worked. Your GI tract is now ruined. You now need OA meds, those are another GI-destructive set of drugs. So you are now Living on 40 mg of Nexium, the Purple Pill.

Tricare Life takes it off their list of covered meds as it went OTC. And you react to the rest. It got expensive, the store brands aren't much cheaper, and have strange ingredients in them your body won't tolerate. As to taking OTC minor pain meds, you have one choice Tylenol, the rest are Acid-GERD destruction crud.

Two Meniere's attacks, the ENT FAILS TO INFORM YOU of those holes he puts in your eardrum, and the Steroids will DAMAGE OUR HEARING and Vertigo for a year. A second attack, another hole in the eardrum, more Steroids, MORE LOSS OF HEARING, YOU ARE NEAR DEAF NOW. And another year of Vertigo. You gain a cane for balance. Next attack you will need a Cochlear Implant. GUESS WHAT INS. DOESN'T COVER YOUR HEARING AIDS NOR A COCHLEAR IMPLANT. Losing your hearing as an adult causes hardships in communicating, there are NO programs for adults, just kids. At 74 you are NO LONGER A CANDIDATE TO BOOT. Takes three years to learn to use it. BTW YOU BEST HAVE $90K or more. IT IS NOT INS. COVERED EITHER, you are a Ret. Military personnel's SPOUSE. Not the Ret. Serviceman. And at 82 he no longer isn't a candidate same reasons, AGE.

The messed up hand from a torn Thumb ligament is another failure story. As was the first Caratact removal. Lasix is the fix, NOT COVERED. Do you get the impression that I loathe surgeons? You'd guess right.

And I'm terrified that my 52-year-old son is facing a Catherazitation for Stent surgery next month. I've already lost two sons.
