CrohnsChat: My Appointment today

My Appointment today

Posted by Keith N (kan) on 18/3/2008, 3:42 am

Today I had another appointment with my new lady doctor due to having dizzy spells when I stood up or moved too rapidly. She once again went thru my medication list and together we have taken me off all but 5 of my 21 medications!! I am now only taking my three blood pressure medications and the thyroid supplement, and my zocor that is supposed to be keeping my artery blockage (40% in one artery on the back of the heart) from building up worse. I am both excited and concerned. Hopefully this is the correct approach. She said she had studied my chart and found no test basis or sound reason for why I was put on these meds to start with. It's a wait and see thing. I had blood drawn for my B-12 and folate levels and I will get those results when I go back in two weeks. I am so impressed with my new doctor and pray that it earned respect. I'll keep everyone posted. Oklahoma Hugs, Love, & Prayers.
