The Medica website doesn't list any prices... I'll try looking through a few more options—maybe someone else on here has some info too.
I also found this one, and they actually have a contract with Medicare, but even there, the pricing is nowhere to be found. Has anyone heard anything about them?
So, what did you end up seeing her for? And honestly—were you actually happy with how she handled things? I mean, did she actually give you a real solution or at least help you pin down what the actual problem was? I went to see a specialist a while back and for $167, she just gave me about five sentences and then basically said, "We're done here" 🙄
So, I guess all dermatologists are trained in the exact same way, right? I've been dealing with some kind of dermatitis lately How much does she charge for a visit, and how fast can you actually get an appointment? Like, do you have to wait forever, or can you get in pretty quickly?
Does anyone have a good dermatologist recommendation? Looking for someone in private practice—if you know their rates too, that would be awesome... thx
Thomas Ortiz10 said:Wait, what? I deal with slow digestion and constant gas myself... and honestly, nobody ever told me to cut back on veggies. If anything, everyone—my doctor, my trainers—always tells me "more greens, less sugar and red meat!" Can you actually explain the logic behind that?
Slow digestion and gas are definitely linked—I'm guessing the gas is just a byproduct of everything moving too slowly through the system?
I was reading somewhere that the whole idea behind this Muslim fasting tradition actually stems from the fact that people lived in such incredibly hot climates—it was almost like they just couldn't stomach eating during the heat of the day, or something along those lines, if I remember correctly But honestly, I can't wrap my head around how anyone manages to go forty days without food while still trying to live a normal life?
So, you can pick up this vaccine for $1000, and apparently, it's supposed to "last" for five years. Even so, there’s still no plan to roll out school-based vaccination programs for girls—you know, where the state or the healthcare system picks up the tab. This specific shot only protects against two types of HPV (the most common ones), and while they're vaccinating girls who haven't been active, I've read that it could actually be given to women up to age 25—though I think that's if they're relatively sure they haven't been exposed or something... I'm not entirely certain on the exact reasoning behind the age 25 cutoff, just from what I've read There are actually two different vaccines out there. The one mentioned above—which the news report was focusing on—is Gardasil. That one has caused quite a bit of controversy globally because after some girls and women were vaccinated, they started experiencing some really troubling symptoms. It really made people ask whether Gardasil might actually be doing more harm than good link link link
On top of that, there's Cervarix, which is just starting to make its way onto the market, intended for all women. Here are a few links Link Link
regarding both of them and their side effects link
Did they give you a prescription for Gentamicin, and were you able to pick it up at the pharmacy? I went looking for it myself, but they told me it’s no longer being manufactured 😕
It’s kind of like trying to sleep with soaking wet hair—you're basically asking for a massive headache I know it’s not quite that extreme, but people say you can definitely end up with a pounding migraine And what if you head out with wet hair when it's only 40 degrees outside? Hmm, now we're talking
Man, I’ve really gotten used to sleeping in way too much this summer—every single morning is such a struggle. My alarm just keeps going and going, and I’m just lying there, half-asleep, feeling like I could never actually catch up on rest, no matter how long I sleep.😵I’m honestly not sure how to fix it, though. It’s not even like I’m staying up late at night or anything; I just seem to be oversleeping way too much.
This is a bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask—have you been staying totally consistent with your birth control? Like, have you missed any doses or taken them at the wrong time? Also, have you dealt with anything like vomiting or diarrhea while on them, or maybe taken any antibiotics recently that might interfere?
The discharge is usually thick, white, and kind of chunky—though it can be thinner too, like at the very start of a yeast infection—but once things really start spiraling out of control (please don't just ignore it!), it becomes much more pronounced. You might notice some redness, but honestly, it doesn't always show up. The itching can be hit or miss, too. As for the smell... I wouldn't say it smells "good," but it isn't exactly foul either. It’s just this weird, off-putting scent.
I’ve definitely been drinking way more than usual lately. Honestly, I don't think it's anything to worry about. I've been studying like crazy this past week—just sitting there, hitting the books, and sipping on water constantly. I've probably been knocking back about a gallon a day. I’ve noticed that by the time I brush my teeth and head to bed, I suddenly realize I’m thirsty and end up grabbing at least a glass or two. I guess since I'm constantly on the move during the day, I don't really notice how much water my body actually needs, and then once I finally settle down for the night, bam—my body demands it all at once.😁
Look, Candida yeast doesn't typically present the way you're describing—so there's a chance what you've actually got is something else entirely, maybe even something a bit more serious. You can pick up an STD from pretty much anywhere, honestly—public pools, gym locker rooms, even a shared restroom... Just go see a doctor.🙂
I haven't spotted them on the subway myself, but just because I haven't seen them doesn't mean they aren't out there—if anyone happens to catch a glimpse, please let 😁 know.
