I was diagnosed with GERD and took Nexium for several or more years, before switching to Pantoprazole. My physician described Nexium as "purple cocaine" and urged me to wean myself from it ... and go...
I was diagnosed with GERD and was on Nexium for several years or more, and for probably the past 5+ years I've been on Pantoprazole. No adverse reactions that I or my physician have detected....
Congratulations on the 8-year mark. In June 2008 I was diagnosed and in September 2008 I underwent the da Vinci procedure. Luckily, for these past almost 8-years since surgery ... my PSA results have...
Questions for your primary care physician, IMO. Someone has to be the 'traffic cop' of medicines rather than have you try to figure this out for yourself. I've taken Plavix for an extended period...
Pre-op (da Vinci) I purchased all sorts of supplies ... for "afterwards." Including Depends. I wore the Depends briefs overnight and slept on a leak-proof pad ... the weeks following the removal of...
I suffered from severe eczema on the back-side of my thighs. For years. After trying just about everything, I stumbled across Amlactin and used it. My eczema disappeared in about 60 days and has been...

6 years post-op and my Urologist's nurse tells me the same thing, and I'm still incontinent ... to a degree ... and I'm not happy about it. My primary care physician is now advising me to go back to...
"Cheap" doesn't mean what's best for us. I've followed the advice of my primary care physician and Urologist ... to have my tests processed by the same labs each time, or by labs which follow the...
My physician and Urologist tell me the same thing: 0.0 is a good enough/normal result. Carrying it down to 0.000, 0.001, etc. is unnecessary (in their opinion. Thankfully, I've been 0.0 consistently...
I have two stents (not the result of a heart attack though, thankfully). I was on Plavix for 3 years. Twice the length of time recommended then. Since coming-off Plavix I'm one of millions of people...
Good advice. 12-14 years ago I was experiencing what I, and originally my primary care physician, thought were symptoms of heart disease. The heart checked-out fine. I then set about a two year...
You're going to hear recommendations for every type of treatment. There's no one right answer - choice - which fits everyone equally. I and many of us here were at the same point you are right now....
