How often do you find your Doctor treating your symptoms and not the problem? I regard myself as an intelligent person who can be assertive when appropriate, yet I still fall into the trap of coming out from my Doctors surgery without getting what I really need.
I have quite a troublesome arrythmia. When the heart rythmn is so irregular it causes the body to signal that something is seriously wrong, and it starts pumping cortisol around the show as a natural stress response. In turn, this causes a gastric response, with too much acid being produced. Combined, these symptoms can cause insomnia. During the previous two nights I had no sleep at all. I had hot tingling pain on various parts of my skin that seemed to move around my body throughout the night. It was like my nerve endings were fried. This was unusual, and I had to see my Doctor for another unrelated reason so I discussed this also. My doctor claimed the burning sensations and insomnia were due to stress. What did I come away with – more Losec! The stress was caused by the arrythmia, not the other way around.
I didn’t need Losec – I needed a way to stop the cortisone – a way to get the arrythmia under control. Obviously, the previous treatment is no longer effective. I was frustrated, not only with the Doctor, but also with myself for allowing the focus on the symptom, not the problem. What happens to us when we walk into a Doctors room? I seem to develop temporary amnesia. So next time I am going to write myself a note, just to remind me exactly what I want treated.

Yeah..kinda stress too. My doctor said …I just need some rest
skin care creasm and laser rejuvenaion: Most people compare skin care creams to laser treatments with the costs, but after seeing how laser helps a person to appear younger again quickly, I’d consider it to be a rather excellent choice that provides for both the natural healing an caollagen growth and the cosmetic technique. It’s still very useful and lovely, but they themselves feel quite a lot better.
