Neurosurgeon REFUSED to fix a thing. He sent me to Pain Management...fancy PT shot givers and shrinks. Lots of luck there because I refused to go. And to the neurologist for the Peripheral Neuropathy, since it is caused by the fat tissue atrophy it is NOT fixable. All they want to do is stick me on side effect riddled drugs worse than the disease I have. And the maker of the drug Lyrica is doing BIG time ads for it to treat Fibromyalgia..it has a 50% side effect FAILURE rate, yet the FDA approved it for seizures and for FMS and are going to expand it to other illnesses.

Pain pills do not work, PT does not work...Fibromyalgia sees to that, nor do spinal nerve blocks. Just causes more PAIN.

Ortho REFUSED to fix a now 18 mm rotator cuff tear, nor would he check the tear under the armpit that attaches the breast to the pec muscle.

Sadistic ear doc did a needless, painful left ear operation, which now leaves my right ear in constant pain and in to my jaw. He is practicing Medicare FRAUD, because every senior who walks into the clinic his dad made famous gets this inner/middle ear perfusion done to them, it is a 3 day process. I found an older ENT and he wants him shut down for this.

They allow NO care givers or spouses back where they stack old people like cord wood and do not even stop and check on any patient once he is through with them and they park you in your slot.

And he uses a drug with preservatives, which most ear surgeons no longer use. in it that causes twin trails of fire to go across your skull..NO VITALS are taken regardless of age or health, not even an ice chip for dehydrated patients. No IV hooks in the johns, and the IV bag they use may contain about 8 ounces. And you might be back there 3-4 hours, 2 of which is lying on 1 side so the horrid medicine stays in your ear. Nor does he provide pain meds for those who the mind wiping Versed does NOT WORK ON.

PC wants me to start statins lots of luck, he conned me into Whelcol horse pills, supposed to take 6 per day, start with 1 work your way up. 3 days in Gout pain starts, 5 days and I can barely walk because of the GOUT pain...I do NOT have Gout.

STAY the H away from statins they are POISON. Crestor was supposed to be the drug of last resort, now it is the most popular, because the drug maker launched a multi million $ campaign to make it happen. Has the worst side effects. I have spent the past few nights nearly sleepless because they put my poor husband on a high dose BP med and 80mg of Crestor...he is jerking in his sleep every 10-15 seconds like he is getting electric shocks, his over all body pain is 10 times worse, and it is hitting his short term memory.

Wonder what caused this...the PA to the PC told him to go get the new CT STRESS test, well it came back with FALSE calcium markers. Instead of sending him to a cardiologist he OD him on BP meds and Crestor. Now I have a very hard headed husband who does not want to research, or hear about it. His friend just had a double stroke, scared the pants out of hubby, and then his BP spiked for no reason and landed him in the ER for 2 days, where he WALKED the stress test, passed with flying colors. Then the cardiologist did an Echo Cardiogram..again he passed with flying colors...told he was healthy as a horse. Only the Cardio does NOT know about all the Crestor and BP med..the only time he has a tad of high BP is when he drives the crazy 40-240 freeway and goes to the doctor. At home it is normal for a 72 year old.

Dementia patients brains and people who have been on statins for years have about the same holes forming in their brains.

Statin side efficts..you will note it is from the Feds.

Too Helpful?

April 7, 2012

Is it possible to be too helpful? Can our helpfulness actually make life more difficult for others? Yes, if we’re being bothersome, intrusive, smothering, manipulative, or controlling. If the help we are giving is driven only by our own anxiety, we may be just trying to help ourselves.

How then can we know if our heart and acts of service are truly symbolic of God’s unconditional love? How can we love from pure motives? (Prov. 16:2; 21:2; 1 Cor. 4:5).

In prayer we can ask God to show us any way we are hurting or hindering others (Ps. 139:23-24). We can ask God to help us show love that “suffers long and is kind; . . . is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil” (1 Cor. 13:4-5).

Our efforts to help others, especially those we love the most, will never be completely free from anxiety. But we can, by God’s grace, begin to love freely with no strings attached, as God Himself loves. The test, of course, and the measure of our progress, is the way we react when our “helpfulness” is unrecognized or goes unrewarded (see Luke 14:12-14).

Lord, help us to love with pure motives and for the good of others. Help us to love unconditionally, expecting nothing in return.

Please help me, Lord, in all I do
To act and think with motives true;
And by Your love reveal to me
Those sins that only You can see. —D. De Haan
In our desire to help, let’s love with pure motives.

Read: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me. —Psalm 139:23-24
Bible in a Year:
2 Kings 4-6

THIS IS GREAT!

Subject: Parachute Jump

Unless you’ve parachuted, you’ll never believe the
effect of this stunning jump into the Michigan
Football Stadium! We’re
seeing a military parachutist drop into a
stadium at the football game . We know what it
looks like from the stadium looking up. Here’s
what it looks like for the parachutist coming
down. This is really something to watch.
