With a few minor glitches

@MarieCoyle I will start it tomorrow, that is Sunday. We picked it up today.

@GardenGerty I am glad you didn't have to wait on it. That happens to us at times, for my son. The last month or so, it has improved, I am glad of that. I am so tired of driving to various pharmacies to get what one has and the other one doesn't. Frustrating.

@GardenGerty Oh, dear, what a snarl. A high A1C is not good, I hope this all works out, and that the new diabetes med comes in very soon. So often we seem to be waiting on a medication.

Me too. I think the statin caused my A1c to go up. My doctor looked at me and said "here are the facts, and you are not a dumb patient, What do you want to do?" I am just hoping that the price my insurance quoted for the new diabetic med is correct.

I like and respect my doctor so I do not mind seeing her. I am an easy lab draw so that is no problem either. I know not everyone has it so easy.

Thanks, it does feel better already.

@GardenGerty that is great to know

I think adding that original statin has caused me some real problems. I look for my health to turn around soon. I am not horribly sick, but just am not at my best.

I am feeling better. I am pleased as I trust my doctor and she is a great listener.

@LindaOHio I am fortunate to have some really good ones.

@GardenGerty I'm glad to hear it.

In my much younger days, as long as I swam I did not get sinus infections. Doctor did not say not to swim and I will have finished my antibiotics by the time we swim again. I think I read somewhere that the swimming cleaned out your sinuses, but I could be imagining it. I have only had three doses, but the pain in my face and cheek is gone.

No, even the changes are with a prescription and much talking with the doctor. She said "Here is what we know. Here is what we want the medicines to do. You do have side effects from the statin you are on. You are not a dumb patient, you are very well read. What do you want to do?" She was surprised to hear that the statin the cardiologist had me on is not recommended for diabetics. The antibiotic is already making me feel better. It is the same one that my otolaryngologist prefers for these infections.

I feel like it is working really quickly and I am glad.

The antibiotic is working really well.The others will take a month or two to help me.

The antibiotic is making me feel much better. Or it could be because I feel heard by my doctor. Today was good.

Well, the antibiotic is helping for sure. I will start the new diabetic med in the morning. My doctor wants me to take that for a few weeks before starting the new statin, so we can see if I have side effects and what they are.
