TweetYou should have kept the script going. Especially if you get them cheap thru insurance.
Plenty of BB's are looking for these. Not everyone has the same sides as you got.

i used to get allergy shots. the pharm that made the serum made 3 strengths so I could work my way up to a maintenance dose. doctor gave me 1 dose out of all 3 vials. I was given 50 times what I was supposed to have for my first dose and ended up in the ER after a epinephrine shot which i do not think i needed but was given anyway.

thought my heart would explode.

TweetReminds of the time I took my mom to the doctor and he falsely tells my mom "I have bad news for you, You have diabetes". Had I not been there, my mom might have been on insulin for life. I knew the test was done hastily and without a fast, right after my mom ate a big meal. I said, hold on here, she didnt fast before you tested her glucose. My mom never had diabetes. I wonder how many people get put on some drug for life over something like that

Tweeta lot. ^^^ that's why a second opinion is always nessesary when in comes to people who "practice" medicine. well atleast to you find a person you feel understands "you"

I've told doctors that I want a second opinion and I can swear you would of thought I insulted them.. im not there to poop in the punch bowl but I do put pants on to cover my own ass if you know what I mean .. geesh
