No animal cruelty. Completely organic beef, chicken and pork. It's cheaper and better quality than at the grocery stores. If you buy locally, you're keeping your dollars in the local economy instead of further lining the pockets of the Walmart owners and CEOs. We buy our vegetables and fruit from local vendors at roadside stands or farmer's market, too. (Those that I don't grow myself.)

Drugs! Lots of drugs! Sadly, you're probably like
most of us and don't have time to go to the doctor! Oh well! Feel better soon! You are not alone! 
antibiotics long term
The dr. states the patient has been on chronic antibiotics ???pressure??? to ensure that the hip does not become infected. I know there is a term for this, but it is not coming to me. Help
Thanks!

PROFESIONAL GROWTH & ADVANCEMENT
I am a newer member and was shocked at the typo I found in the current issue of JAAMT. Maybe they hire editors?? Their actual full page ad for AAMT continues the above typo in my subject line. We should join their passionate group, as they will connect us to all the tools necessary for our PROFESIONAL growth. Oh my! I am a freak about typos in documents, and that just is too much. Tossed that issue in the trash.
Growth could also be true. MQ has lost a lot of accounts, as have a few of the sm
biggies.
Well, falling rates of wage growth and rising inflation SM
probably have something to do with it. The rate of wage growth has been falling for the past several years, and rising prices are currently more than wiping out whatever "gain" most of us have the notion we've made.
Also, when Rush points out that he and others in the richest 1% pay more than 40% of the taxes, that's NOT good. That appalling division of wealth helps explain why with all the productivity gains in our wealthy country over the past several decades, most of us are seeing our incomes stagnate or even decrease over that time.
We have a general election coming up, by the way.
Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy
Check out this site for natural hormone replacement. www.womensinternational.com (There isn't anything international about this pharmacy - in Arizona). Anyway, you can learn about natural hormones here, get referrals and books and just some really good information. 
p.s. I get my hormones through a naturopathic doc (ND), but some holistic docs (MD) give them out too.
Menopause and hormone replacement. sm
I am 3 years from my last period and have refrained from taking hormones because of a family history of breast and uterine cancer in my mother. I have not felt well for some time and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. My GYN thinks that bio-identical hormones would make me feel more myself but I have been reluctant to take them. For those of you taking hormones..do they make you feel a lot better? Thanks for any advice.
hormone replacement therapy
I have been on Premarin 1.25 mg since my 20's (surgical induced menopause) and on 0.9 mg for the past few years, am 53 and have absolutely no menopausal symptoms and no side effects of any kind. It is worth it.
Not sure how you feel about hormone replacement, sm
but it might be something to consider. I went through menopause relatively early, and I had horrible hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, etc. I remember once I received an email from my boss asking me to spend the day working on my secondary account, and I sat here crying, knowing that what she really meant was that I wasn't good enough to work on my primary account. Looking back, it is funny, but it was not so funny then. I felt like I was going crazy. 
I finally broke down and saw an OB/GYN. She is an advocate of natural hormone replacement, but gave me a book to read about it and in the meantime gave me estrogen patches and progesterone pills, and it was a godsend. I got through the tough times, and now I take nothing.
It sounds like you have a lot going on, and if you could get rid of the menopausal symptoms, maybe you could see things a bit more clearly and address those issues as well. It is tough to uproot your life and move away from friends and family. My heart goes out to you.
Good luck to you. It will get better. 
Brain natriuretic peptide...hormone produced by the
heart.
A study a year or two back was assessing if hormone changes were
Specifically, does LOSS of estrogen cause memory loss in women. Multi-year study, BIG study, lots of subjects.
Upshot? There WAS memory loss happening. It was not due to hormones. Middle-aged women were SO busy and SO stressed and had SO many things on the brain and things to do and places to be and things to remember about spouse, kids, job, parents, extended family, that they were STRESSED TO THE POINT THEY COULD NOT REMEMBER IT ALL! Bah on the hormone theory. We just get full up to our eyeballs of all the things we have to do and something has to give.
Like, spelling the word school or something. No can do, school does not exist in this brain any more, it got kicked out so I can remember to pick up beer on the way home!
Does hormone replacement (specifically low dose Prempro) cause you to gain weight? nm

drugs.com
I almost always use drugs.com for almost every drug need. It's the best site I have found, but otherwise, I prefer Stedman's Quick Look, but let's face it, by the time these books are printed, there are another 100 drugs out there. Can't keep up fast enough with them. So the web site is the best.

You can search for any 3 consecutive letters and pull up a list of all drug names containing those 3 consecutive letters.
drugs.com
I use this site because you can put in a part of the drug name, and it gives you a list of drugs that contain that letter combination. So if you can only hear the middle part of a drug, it gets a little easier to narrow it down.
try drugs.com (nm)

drugs.com
The problem I have with this site is that there are many generic drugs that are listed with a capped first letter. It is hard to tell which drugs are brand name and which are generic when using drugs.com.
If you are typing the drug name in a paragraph and it is generic, the first letter is not to be capitalized so it is important to be able to find out if the drug is brand or generic.
Drugs.com... just for MTs... sm
Drugs.com lets you type in just a few letters and provides choices. Also, from the homepage on the right, there is a link to drug search just for MTs. It lets you do a wildcard search. I.e., audio is garbled and you hear t-max, you could type in t*max, and it would provide all drug choices. It also has a 'sounds like' search which is most excellent. You can also search for drugs by condition. This site hasn't let me down yet. Best part, it's completely up to date, and free.
Drugs!! Works for me!
Seriously. I actually was a big procrastinator, and really suffering for years from lack of motivation. Turns out I have ADD, and have been on meds for a few months now. Actually tripled - TRIPLED my income in these few months. Everything is just focused and easy and I am so productive, its scary...Maybe you have adult ADD. Supposedly millions do...I used to be a skeptic, but I'm a believer now!
New generic drugs.
New generic name for viagra......................micoxafloppin. Next.. please add.
Oh, yes! Illegal drugs are fun!
I never even did drugs when I was a stupid teenager.
Anyone know where I can get a list of new drugs

generic drugs
I type drugs that are capped or have capital letters anywhere in them into autocorrect. Then I just type the drug just like it is generic, then autocorrect "corrects" it.

She could even be on drugs. Keep distance.
She might think you are where she would like to be and wants to impress you in her little mind and little world.
www.drugs.com.... don't care much for
rxlist.com....never helped me any
Try *sartan*. It will come up with drugs ...
that contain those letters in any part of the word. I don't think you can just do an ending but you can quickly go through the list it does give you.
I agree about the drugs.
My nephew was on the Fiengold program and diet without the drugs and it worked very well until he was around 12 and started to cheat on the diet and sneak the junk food :) It is a LOT of work for the parents and tough on the kid. But it did work for him for many years and it's a very healthy preservative-free/chemical-free diet. I think it's probably worth looking into.

Over the counter drugs
Are over the counter drugs capitalized? Example: "Unisom"
Thanks
Canada drugs
I used them. Did not seem to have any problems. I figure you do not hear of Canadians dropping dead left and right from using the medication. Saved some money.
on drugs, esp helpful to me
with my expander, is something a poster previously shared sometime back: to put in meds with the consonants, ie, Lasix is lsx, Protonix is prt. that helps with capitalizing proprietary drugs as well. myself, for dosages, i do mgd, for mg daily, and such.
Generic vs Brand drugs
I have these in my Shorthand program and they are typed correctly - upper or lower case. No matter how I type them they wind up correct. If the word is at the beginning of a sentence, Shorthand capitalizes it there, which would be correct.
Convicted felon wants drugs
How's this....I just wrote a report where I had to look up the patient's name on Google for spelling purposes and found a document from within the year stating that he was appealing (and lost) his conviction on four counts of obtaining illegal prescription narcotics. At the end of the report, the doctor states that the patient went back to his primary care physician stating that THIS doctor said he could have Dilaudid for two weeks. My doctor then stated that he did not feel comfortable treating this patient. Question: Should I tell my boss or this doctor about the patient's recent record? (And now he is, again, trying to obtain illegal drugs.) Or does this violate the privacy rules? Are illegal activities subject to the privacy rules? I know counselors always warn patients that they have to report any illegal activities should they disclose such. Now please don't slam me. It has been a long day and maybe the answer is obvious and I am just brain dead for the day.

I prefer book for drugs.
I use the Quick Look Drug Book and it has worked well for me.
Google is where I start my search for other medical info and it has been remarkably useful - may even discontinue purchasing more books.
But the drug book will not likely be replaced as it also has the generic and dosage information right there, which I have needed on many occasions; it is faster for me to use the book. Just a personal preference.

What is it they're looking for in the blood? Drugs?

Drugs with pseudoephedrine are restricted.
I had to show my driver's license and they recorded my info in a log book.
This ingredient is used to manufacture illegal methamphetamine, which is why it is limited and regulated.
Need suggestions, generic vs proprietary drugs
It seems there are so many anymore that i have trouble remembering not to capitalize -- how do the rest of you remember?
I am using docuscribe and the quick correct feature does not seem to work for converting back to lower case. Any suggestions?
Exactly true. And you don't have to fool with new drugs and stuff, either. nm

not detailed but i like the easy search options when i am unsure of spelling.
They are basically "sister" drugs. I am allergic
to naproxen, so cannot take ibuprofen now, as they are closely related. I would think if naproxen isn't helping, neither will ibuprofen. Try something unrelated like Tylenol?
glitazone is a class of drugs, Avandia, etc.
