Nasal congestion, broken bones, health insurance, some observations from a customer and patients perspective.

A strange topic for the Do It Yourselfer but I feel the information could be useful to many who may be experiencing health problems for the first time.  I've had a broken leg, a broken collar bone, eye surgery (s), a tonsillectomy, and sinus or nasal surgery for a deviated septum ( chronic sinusitis ), including removal ( excision ) of the uvula!  I've also had tinnitus ( ringing ) of the right ear, probably about for a year, and it cleared itself up.  I also have been graced with Low Tension Glaucoma, receiving laser treatment and medical therapy as well.  And now to save money I choose to purchase prescriptions from Canadian Pharmacies. I thought I'd write up my impressions of all these experiences again hopefully to help those encountering these things for the first time.  There seems to be a lack of information from the patients viewpoint on the web, so I'd like to provide observations from the patients perspective.

Night Sweats, perhaps its not you!

Prescriptions from a Canadian Pharmacy

Not to long ago I lost my health insurance and with that loss a prescription drug program.  Since then I have looked for ways to reduce the costs of my prescriptions.  Of course buying prescriptions from a Canadian online pharmacy was a strong consideration.  I did quite a bit of comparison and searching and am now a satisfied customer of Newton Pharmacy, a Canadian Pharmacy in British Columbia, represented by Canada Pharmacy.  If your researching Mexican Pharmacies I'm afraid I can't help.  Please read more about my experience buying prescriptions from Canada, and efforts to choose a pharmacy in Canada.  Canadian pharmacy

Determining the costs of surgeries

I've had several surgeries now, and also, now that I'm flying without a net (no medical insurance), I've investigated how to determine, to some extent, the cost of many surgeries that are done.  The secret to know is the CPT code!

Temporary Vision Loss, Migraine of the Optic Nerve

There have been several occasions where I have started to lose my vision, once while driving, once while skiing.  These turned out to be temporary, say 30 to 60 minutes, my doctor diagnosed them as a migraine of the optic nerve   I've learned several things about these lost vision occurrences and wanted to pass on my observations and a potential way to perhaps avoid this problem.  Temporary Vision Loss

A consideration for a class action lawsuit regarding inhaled steroids and glaucoma

My Low tension glaucoma seemed to begin coincidentally my use of inhaled steroids for allergies.  These products work but the information regarding the risk of glaucoma is hidden from the customer in historically and even today.  Class action lawsuit.
