Body Aches and Pains

If what you say is true, you should draft a letter to the Medical Board about it. If you are having real side effects to the meds, any pharmacist would tell you to stop taking it. I wouldn't continue any meds that gave me bad side-effects, in fact I've stopped meds myself, I don't need permission from the doctor to do it.

I'm not telling you to do anything either way of course, but you have to be in control of your body, and if you are clear minded about what's going on, you have to make your own decisions based on your own better judgement.

But it is one thing that by taking the meds you are saving your life. If that is the case you have to be careful about going off it. If it's not a life-or-death situation and you can handle yourself off your meds and your doctor isn't addressing the problem of severe side-effects from your meds, you should see another doctor or get a second opinion, at the very least.

It may be a small town, but I doubt she's the only doctor in town. She's getting paid to see you, and she has no business being mean to you. There may be a reason she's not giving you the meds you want but there should be no reason that she's forcing you to take meds that cause severe side-effects, that would be considered malpractice.

P.S. I would also be careful about posting her name on this site - you don't want to get involved in a slander suit, you have enough anxiety on your plate!

Lol. Ok thank you for telling me that i was about to freak out about the slander suit thing.. i erased it lol.

But it felt kind of like i was alone since alot of people said antibiotics don't hurt you but they were hurting my stomach badly and making me feel drained and weak all over so bad i threw up everything i ate. It was Doxycycline and Flagyl along with a strong shot of antibotic Shot they gave me that started with an R . and it was all to treat a female v infection.

I had to take some antibiotics recently, and after I was done with them I took probiotics to replace the good bacteria, since the purpose of an antibiotic is to kill ALL of the bacteria in the body. Every health food store has probiotics, the very best kind are in the refrigerated area.
