stroke caused by chantix
Posted: Oct 26, 2009
OMG!!!!! My husband is on #3 cva and still no know cause for em since 10/21/08. he just started this program chantix 3 weeks ago. has reduced his amount of ciggs but reading this mess id rather him smoke and not be a joke too. I agree with the remark on These MD's and just giving so many different unknown/ tested /RXs that & I wonder on all these relaxing, knock a horse out kindda meds for stroke. I read up on when sleeping the brain has most healing time it regroups etc and here we are under the influence heavely nightly with brain damages already due to his stokes,tia's. not able to reheal this way being drugged up I really believe these MD's dont give a chit on my husbands future or wellbeing or even provide a fair chance on regaining a life w/ cva because them just sending him home again, an again and still no reasons for WHY hes having them , keeping us walking on egg shells on UNKNOWING & Knowing the next MD appointment is gonna be another waste of effort on trying to manage this CLOT MYSTERY CONDITION but always adding more RX's to his list of many daily, then too perscribe a drug like this one CHANTIX ...again them MDs not caring about him/ us Im pisted off hella bad now!!! This whole trumped up BS ride we have Tripped upond on c/o- CVA Has had no real Hopes in possitive days. Bill collectors, unessesary delays, try this RX and come bake month later {see if were still alive I bet}th is so Criminal. Its all about the Greed and selfishness these MD's Focus on and BCBS PPO is No Benifit for Us anyway. It seems the Costs for all these Test, RXs, Visits, PT,OT,SP, more visits, & PT etc are so Rooked and Never mind the person w/ Stroke....Focus on that PPO!!!! and CHARGE THEM extra Russells have PPO. I have no fight in me to defind this sick fight cause i need to survive to be there for my husband and not do a crime to punish self cuz im frustrated on ALL this fraud care. I read in news on all these people just Snapping on offices, etc. I cant see why they do it. Never mind Reform it need Blowned up and lets do this again w/ a lil integrety and care You think they would want to help keep him around for there out of control chargings, but its been 1 year and few days now and life really strokes for a 46 yr. man that WAS wonderful and Worth It only to be disabled and depressed and it unimadginable for me really but Im his wife / caregiver that has no clue on this all!! Its all bullchit i see it and shaim on ALL these greedy uncaring MD's & PPO's. They Failed my husband and providing more risk that needed. and theres no real punishment too them really Thats another Crime too!! I know Im just venting and Im sorry but our days are so depressing w/o any real resorces that will just comfort us and show a lil careing aid. theres no social outlets for this male age group w/ brain injury conditions in my area and see more cva's happing here. Stroke is no joke and no cure thats approved by another selfish agency controll- FDA.. Damb it We need other methods to properly provide victoms some selfworth and regain a lil self dignity too. Being a young man , father that was 100% the best people is a broken soul now. Its hard as hell each day for us and being played/ used/ cheated on w/ Its monopoly game - sorry-risk-trump-aggrvation and a lil connect 4 etc This medical care has no care and theres no rules. I feel that all these providers of wasted efforts to my husbands care should have a stroke or even 2 of themself an then maybe we could have a lil prodacaol on managing a stroke victiom future and provide a lil more hope in progress. til then we continue to be played
