Re: Meds - Dawn

[Guest guest]

My God, I just got to this posting. You are on both klonopin and Xanax??? Xanax is for anxiety. Why they have you on both I'll never know. I was taken off of xanax and put on klonopin because I was told that it stays in your system longer than xanax but they pretty much do the same thing.

Look into Partnership for Prescription assistance for any meds that you must stay on.

I amazed that they also have you on percoset. I had my explant surgery and my doctor would only give me a weeks worth. Any doctor that I've been to will not give me anything that makes you drowsy. In the past I've had to beg for everything and that didn't even work.

I have nodules on my thyroid and was gaining 10 pounds a month. I saw three thyroid doctors and they all refused to even put me on armour!

You are a walking pharmacy and my heart goes out to you. I'm so glad you found this group. These people will really be able to help you.dmm0118 <dmm0118@...> wrote:

You are truly a (my) guardian angel and well of information. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....Tomorrow I'll do a search for prescriptions plans...it is worth a shot and would be a blessing in disguise.I had a feeling that most doctors don't (or won't) want to make the link between the illnesses we read about here and breast implants. In turn I am finding that I don't have a lot of trust or faith in many doctors. I'm becoming more and more skeptical as the days pass. When I have my explant surgery I would really like to see a surgeon from this site. One that is highly recommended. One that will do the procedure correctly. No more surprises or lies.......My problem being is that I am entirely to sick at this time to travel. It's killing me to sit here and type (one-handed) let alone travel. My time will come. I have hope on my
