I think you mean 很好 (hen hao) very good.
Probably. What little Mandarin Chinese I learned was from a Taiwanese Ph.D., he may have had an accent...
Altogether I give you a hen hao! for a good effort. 很好！
Have you tried Tirosint? I had a thyroidectomy and am highly allergic to many of the fillers in medicines (as in “find the epipen now” allergies). It contains only 4 ingredients: T-4, gelatin, water & glycerin.
The doctor tried me on generics since that is what was paid for by my insurance. Only problem was I never had any idea which company’s generic I was going to get and what they might have used for fillers this time. Insurance still doesn’t pay for my Tirosint, but I was able to get a coupon from the company and I pay $25.00 a month. Expensive compared to the 87 cents for levothyroxine, but it beats the side effects.
All wise sentiments. :) In which case the dilemma translates to: does one go with the *brand-name* organic-whole-grain-low-cholesterol breakfast cereal OR the *generic*? :)
“Have you tried Tirosint?”
I have never herd of it! Thank you so much for a new thought.
I’ll look into this for sure, and ask my skeptical endo. He’s refused Armour, BUT I have been on growth hormone which has helped tremendously.
Most people probably won’t have issues with most generics. Especially with OTC.
I have had several prescriptions that did not work out so great.
I had Medicaid from June 2010 to August 2015 so I actually went to doctors for a few years. I have had no medical visits since July 2015. I had to cancel all of my appointments including my first of what should have been 5 years of checkups every 6 months to make sure no cancer cells were left behind.
I was prescribed Cymbalta by one doctor and when the dose was doubled my primary doctor decided I didn’t need to take two of the name brand and that one generic would be better. Until then I actually had very little of the worst side effects. They started right after the switch. I also think that is why when I got sick and didn’t keep the pill I took down the withdrawal symptoms were much worse. Brain zaps are no fun. Neither was super hearing with my very noisy nieces in the house because it was Christmas. I could only eat very fatty, salty, sour or sweet foods because everything else was very bitter. This side effect still happens.
Like topamax the drug from hell I took a few years before, this also was off label use for nerve damage pain. Because they helped some people. Neither helped but both did lasting damage.
I was also on Metformin at the time. My pharmacy had been switching the generic brands every few months. Some were good, some smelled slightly fishy and the last one I filled earlier that December was so foul it would have gagged a maggot. I never even tried to take any of that bottle.
