Erotic Ramblings

As many may already know I had a wee bit of a scare a few weeks ago which got me thinking. Do we ask enough questions of our Doctors or do we trust that they will answer our worries without being prompted?

In my own experience I found that no, we do need to ask a lot more questions of our Doctors and not be satisfied with simple catch phrase type answers. I mean that sometimes the Doctor will give the old, well we are growing older, statement which really doesn’t cut it. Least not for me.

Sure we might indeed be getting older, but sometimes it is something more than just old age. Unless we press them, we might wind up just motoring along without having the problem properly dealt with. Sometimes it might indeed be old age but it can be other things too. So, no I think we not only need to ask these professionals more, but insist on more straight forward answers that aren’t tired old cliches.

For example, if a Doctor perscribes some daily medication are we relying on the pharmacist to tell us how to take them or the doctor? Personally I’d like to hear it from the doctor first, so as to insure an added precaution by comparing his remarks to those of the druggist. Some might call that unnecessary but experience tells me otherwise.

Did you know for example that if you take cumadin (blood thinner) that you shouldn’t take iron supplements at the same time? Yes this can include multi vitamins that have iron in their mix, so do you know that? Mom does as she also knows that she can’t take it with grapefruit juice.

I was taking furosomide (water pill) and didn’t realize that I needed to take it with a full glass of water and that I also needed to get my potassium levels monitored while on the medication.

In other words, what we don’t know CAN KILL US.

So how many of you actually go in to see your Doctor and ask him questions such as…

• What foods can I eat with this medication?
• What juices can I take with them?
• What tests should I keep in mind while on this medication?
• What side effects should I watch out for?
• How does this medication react with the other pills I am taking?
• Is there an optimum time I should be taking these pills at?

Those are just some of the questions I think we need to ask, and yeah, I also think that if our Doctor doesn’t like answering them, then for me it would be time to go get another doctor.

After all, it is our Life we are talking about and we should know as much as we can. Burying our head in ignorance isn’t going to help in the long run.

Personally I think we are all intimidated by the Doctor. He is a so called professional so he should know, or at least that is the thinking. Still he is human too and there is a whole lot of stuff he has to keep track of, so asking questions shouldn’t be a problem. Besides isn’t peace of mind worth the effort? Or do you prefer to sit around worrying instead?

I wonder, how often do you tell someone special that you love them? or Care about them?

It is an interesting thought really because maybe that is part of today’s problems in the world. We just don’t feel like we are appreciated or loved enough so we react with anger, with violence and such. I know Dave tells me quite often he loves me, and it is nice to see his face light up when I respond, telling him I love him too.

Maybe we need to say it more, to kind of make those special to us feel it, and perhaps believe it more. Not hard to do or say really, so why don’t we say it more often?

Do you frequent many online forums or chat rooms?

I really don’t, but I do visit a couple of adult webmaster forums to check on latest news & techniques but lately they all seem to be nothing more than a text soap opera. I mean seriously, accusations galore on many of them about this one or that one.

Then too there is the whole ‘who is telling the truth’ nonsense that some seem to play online. I mean it really is starting to make me wonder if truth is stranger than fiction that way some go on. Like everytime someone asks if they are experiencing a summer slow down, there are the obvious liars who come galloping in extolling their sales. Course just the other day they were whining about how slow things were.

So why is it that when people get online they feel the need to lie so often and so transparently? I mean they simply aren’t even good liars or so it seems. One thing to give an opinion, but when you disagree somehow you find yourself under attack.

Not sure if that is a spill over from the day to day life or just that people are becoming less tolerant than before. Odd, because I notice even my own capacity for patience has dwindled considerably lately. So is it the world events or something else?
