went to the new doctor//went to a healer//blood draw//saw c//saw rn

went to the new doctor for my hemoglobin.  they did a prick test as well to see if the lab was wrong.  it came out the same.  so i was sent back to the lab for some other iron test.  the doctor also sent me to a chiropractor and more x-rays and to a "healer" which is a minister that does healing.  she is an extremely open-minded doctor.  i think she was a little freaked out because the hemoglobin is so low.  its 7 and should be 13.  every medical person i have said this to seems to flip a bit.  i was sick most of the week, even though going off the statins made me feel 100 percent better within two days.  
 
from my own research.  statins don't just deplete coq10 in the body, they also attack muscle tissue!  the heart is a muscle.  so really the statin is killing you.   there is an article that statins do more harm than good - need to read it.  statins also make you gain weight and the more active you are as a person the more the statins attack.  so why the hell are they selling this poison?  omg!  statins also give you cataracts.  i now have a cataract in my right eye.  the healer said it can break up and go away.  no idea if that is true.  i'm stunned.  had i known this i wouldn't have gone on the statin.  i should have looked it up.  but then i still would have had the risk of stroke from the cholesterol.  

the new doctor suggested no medication at all.  which is irresponsible and kills people.  that i knew.  it says right on the lopressor that if you suddenly cease taking it you will have a heart attack.  i was stunned she even suggested it - doctors aren't pharmacists, they make a lot of mistakes.  so much for open minded doctors.  i wasn't impressed.   then she suggested taking half dose of lopressor and no aspirin because of possible upper g.i. bleeding causing the anemia.  i already had samples done, i don't have bleeding, they claim.  this doctor only trusts Tylenol.  i know Tylenol can cause kidney failure.  so i tried her way - half meds, and started getting surges in the brain again and numb spots.  the numb spots could also be nerve damage.  i'm still in soooo much pain from all that and look how long its been!  seriously.  it was very scary.  thank god i had my pills and took the second pill.  and was fine.  also took the buffered low dose aspirin.  today, i took two.  i feel best with a full dose i guess i'll need the coated one.  the new doctor was also against advil, even in gel form, i guess because of possible internal bleeding.  you really need milk or cottage cheese that kind of thing to take any of these meds.  they all say take with food.  the new doctor says she can "look" at a person and know what medical conditions they have and she started guessing my medical conditions, which way i sleep, back or side, apnea, do i snore (i was waiting for her to say i talk in my sleep.  i do.  she was pretty far out).    

before i took the second pill that i would have normally taken,  i actually felt like, well this is it, i'm going to die - super sick.  surges and all that.  dizzy and all that.  out of the blue, c came by.  he said he used to have anemia as a child and just lived with it.  he doesn't know if he had borderline anemia or full blown.  he got it from chewing ice all the time, and eating ice and they figured it out later on.  he said people who work in freezers get anemia a lot.  i had blood drawn again and the guy said the bruising won't happen if i put a second turniquet on it and then keep it on for an hour.  i still have a bruise, but its smaller.  i took my first iron pill and feel much better.  i'm almost back to my original meds.  she also wanted the water pill stopped.  i don't take it all the time, but i feel better with it actually.  the hospital was the one to prescribe that originally, it keeps pressure off the heart.  

so yesterday, i was feeling like, well, this is it - this is the end.   lol.  and today i feel almost like me.  if i can lose alllll this extra weight, i'd be thrilled.  at least i know now not to even try weight loss while on cholesterol meds.  its really more like try exercise, the weight loss happens all by itself from a lot of swimming - no diet needed.  if i lived near sebastian inlet, i'd get a metal detector and search for the 400 million in spanish gold coins they claim is there.  THAT is a cool way to vacation as an adventure vacation.  i think they said each gold coin is worth $100.  lol.  cool.   someone just found 4 million in coins recently.  wow!  

saw rn briefly because i went to the hope store and stopped by afterward.  she is basically in hiding.  she does this when she is out of money.  she is also furious with byn again.  he's supposed to bring her a jar of instant coffee each month (he owes her money) and even that stupid little thing, he didn't do because "someone else did".  hmmm since he is doing this as a means of payment of money owed its ridiculous.  she can't go back to work because of back injuries.

You\'ve been through so much. I can\'t take meds. Seem to be allergic to everything, my body doesn\'t process them. I have thought that doctors don\'t know enough about medications to prescribe them. We need an alternative. I\'m glad you\'re feeling better.

i wouldnt trust a chiopracter, with some articles over the years of people crippled or dead from going to one.

i donate blood regularly, so at least i know my iron is normal; i even tell red cross that\'s the selfish reason i donate, for free medical exam.
