healthcare for the elderly.

i may be coming closer to feeling better and healing my achy body and achy mind.

after another visit to my surgeon in regards to my painful swollen knee he looked at me in an “I GIVE UP MODE.”

he was at a loss.

he drained my knee, again, and then suggested i see a rheumatologist. he thinks i could have rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis.

after my initial fear and frustration i left his office and went home. still limping. i quickly went on the computer and looked at signs and symptoms of this possible ailment.

very similar symptoms to what i was experiencing.

i booked an appointment to see my family doctor and then went through her notes after all of my blood tests were done.

the results were mostly good but there were two, CRP and FERRITON, where my levels were slightly high.

in seeing this, i researched these two and it looks like raised levels of both of these will cause inflammation in the body.

I AM GETTING CLOSER.

because of this my wife, she sometimes cares, suggested she buy a bottle of tylenol for arthritis and i took two before bed. my sore arms and sore shoulders felt much better.

i had a much better sleep.

today i woke up with less pain and less stiffness.

i will continue with these meds as i continue to ween off all other meds for various “made up” mental health issues.

I WILL ALSO RESEARCH MICRODOSING MAGIC MUSHROOMS.

I WILL BEAT THIS AND GET BACK TO MY SELF VERY SOON.

moral of the story…when i was younger i was helped more by the system and helped more by the doctors. they seemed to care. but now that i am older (old) i must do all of my own research and make sure that i follow up with my doctors as they don’t seem to have much urgency with the elders.

IS OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM FAILING DUE TO ALL OF THE CUTS BY OUR GREEDY POLITICIANS?

PROBABLY.
