They have decided that multi-use drugs are actually single use lifestyle drugs. They aren't. We are having to pay OOP for a couple of drugs already. Sorry no, just going on a bland diet does not cure gastro-reflux. The darn flap does not work correctly. And having lost one family member to cancer of the esophagus I have no wish to be the next one.
Barrett’s Esophagus is a Pre-Cancer, the Gastro was biopsying every 2 yrs, now every 3 yrs. These new drugs coming out have shorter test periods and a lot less test subjects. 13 is NOT a Study, 1 was down as low as 3 people.
OA drugs ruined my GI tract, I’ve already eliminated all foods that don’t digest. Which means FIBER foods. So many meds cause Reflux too. Hypertension drugs will in 1 or 2 pills.
This $1,000 Tens unit you stick up your nose to open the oil glands in your eye lids had been tested on 145, 1 dropped out for Migraines, some had nose bleeds and face Pain. Tricare doesn’t cover that. Nor the $3,000 Lip-a-Flo treatment.
A rice or buck wheat hull back you can toss in the microwave for 120 seconds, with a wet cool wash cloth will do the exact same thing under $3.00. To keep infections down use Aveeno Baby shampoo in a P sample bottle size unit half full of shampoo and 8 drops of Tea Tree Oil. Wash eyelids daily, rinse with cool water till clear. Then put in lubricant eye drops.
We now have to be our own doctors.
