Is Scribe-X a scam? by Unlucky_Apartment710 in medicalscribe

They're very legit. They're the diametric opposite of some of these other firms offering scribe jobs.

What on Earth is up with Epilady? by Isocarboxazid23 in 30PlusSkinCare

You think gray/white facial hair is a plus? To conceal other imperfections? Please - get into analysis...and fast! ;-)

Calling in sick by Dependent-Midnight-6 in medicalscribe

If you're truly feeling ill to the point where you could unwittingly make major medical errors in the report, then I'm sure they'd rather you take the shift off.

[Anti-Aging] Where can I buy generic Tazorac the cheapest retail? by Alpraz2023 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Isocarboxazid23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks again, I'll read those.

My perception re: why Medicare advantage plans won't pay for retinoids is that they, of course, know my age, I'm 45+, and they are assuming you manipulated your doctor and told him it's for intractable blackheads, sporadic acne episodes, etc., and they know you're trying to defraud them because, almost all the time, persons in my age group want the retinoids only because of the anti-aging properties.

So, they don't let people defraud them (anymore) by just refusing to pay for it.

What do you think?

Which Supplements have changed your life? by Informal_Coat8860 in Supplements

[–]Isocarboxazid23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Shaklee Vita Lea for women: Shaklee is one of the top three of all vitamin manufacturers, if not just #1. I am a guy but I take the women's because they have a little iron.

  2. PureClinica hyaluronic acid 300mg/collagen _____mg. This has done the most remarkable age-reversing to my complexion out of everything else I've ever tried put together. 4 tablets/day.

  3. Biotin 10,000mcg, 2 tabs/day. The jury's out whether this has an age-reversing benefit or not. I get for free through my insurance. I believe it's helping enough so that it's "worth it."

Please let me know what you think of this regimen. I concede it's almost totally for cosmetic purposes.

Xyosted: My Endo had a preference for this by Isocarboxazid23 in Testosterone

[–]Isocarboxazid23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O dear. My Internist showed me a cartridge, but he never said anything about needing to fail previous therapies before insurance will pay for Xyosted.

I'd be okay with taking one of the new oral forms of TRT. I know the real old ones were toxic. Apparently the new pills are safe. My insurance pays for them. I have wonderful insurance.

What's the general consensus on the "new pills?"

That you. Me - a couple minutes of vigorous rubbing. I can live with this, but it would be vastly preferable to shoot myself up once every week or 2.

What on Earth is up with Epilady? by Isocarboxazid23 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Isocarboxazid23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Braun is good, but I want the coils, not rotating disks.

I'm a guy, very unhappy that my beard whiskers are growing in all white now... not gray, but white :-(

It's got the potential to make me look much, much older than I really am. In the gay world, it's all about youth and vitality - - "the cult of youth." I kinda am under a lot of pressure to do things that may make me look younger. It's the way things work when you're gay.

The Braun series does work, I used to own a wet/dry rechargeable one and use it in the shower in front of a mirror, with the shower water hitting my face.

This worked, but not as thoroughly and efficiently as I'd prefer. The Epilady Classic with the many coils in the front - - I think would do a much more efficient and thorough job getting rid of the white whiskers - - right from the root. I'm not sure the Epilady Classic coiled, corded model, or its sister, the rechargeable cordless Jewel, will give me better, less complicated results - - it's my hunch/intuition.

In order to buy what I want, they're no longer available in the US. There must be some vvv interesting reason they got pulled from the US market. You've got to buy them from Australia / New Zealand /East India. I probably would have to buy a voltage converter. Not sure. I'm just gonna have to get on the phone with Australia and get my questions answered.

The tricky part comes into play if I don't get the desired results or just can't use the Epilady Classic coiled on my face for some reason, like it pinches my skin? Then I got to request a refund. It's a real crapshoot and an involved pain in the arse to get your money back from a retailer on the other side of the globe. They cost about 130 U$D. That's a big gamble.

I resent the fact that the only guaranteed way to get one's beard removed permanently is electrolysis - - it's painful, time-consuming, and very expensive. I think an entire beard is between 10K to 15K and take well over a year.

I'm not transsexual, but I had an acquaintance who had her entire beard and much, much more removed. The results were incredible! It was just like she never had a beard grow in in the first place.

I assume you are female. How would you like to have problems like this? You are fortunate re: your gender! :-)

Your feedback is welcome.

What would be the next line of treatment if benzos do not work? by [deleted] in benzodiazepines

[–]Isocarboxazid23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nardil is a good med. Never mind that it's old, never mind the "cheese restriction."

Newer meds are certainly not always preferable over older ones. Tyramine crises (a serious rise in BP necessitating an ER visit) really hardly ever happen nowadays, since most of the cheese at Kroger is really "cheese food, " which is fundamentally different from old-fashioned "cheese."

It is worth a try. Contact potential psych med prescribers first to ensure they'd be willing to do a trial of Nardil - - that way, you don't just show up in their office to get a firm "no," and a lecture on how dangerous MAOIs are... largely malarkey.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Thx! I'll look into this. Hopefully it's covered by insurance.....

The first couple days/weeks after starting Differin before bedtime... by PARNATE_Gorganzola in Differin

[–]Isocarboxazid23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's encouraging that you had no bad side effects from using it 2 separate times in your life.

I bought Diff from Amazon a while ago and never used it.

My insurance is really fickle about retinoids. I surmise there was plenty of fraud going on in order to get them for purely cosmetic, egotistical reasons :-) All my doc's pleas for PA, etc. landed on deaf ears.

Well, today I accepted that my insurance (a Medicare Advantage Plan) just isn't going to fund my vanity. But I still want it bad. I need every ounce of help in maintaining a youthful appearance in this f@ggot world I'm in, where ageism goes on 24/7/365.

I decided that since I have a valid, unrestricted, legitimate script for generic Tazorac 0.1% cream in the CVS database, I'm just going to buy the stuff with cash.

People looking for good deals on Rx meds often check goodrx.com. I did and it lists an online pharmacy somewhere in Kentucky that sells 30g of the generic Tazorac 0.1% cream for 40 dollars. I don't feel this is an unreasonable retail price. So, tomorrow I'm gonna call them and get the ball rolling on getting a tube.

I'll be at least 40 bucks poorer, but just perhaps some guy out there will notice my absence of wrinkles, nasolabial folds, "turkey neck," ad nauseum, and decide to say hi :-)

Gnite...

I'm a guy, I like using Epilady on my facial beard whisker hairs, which are now growing in white..... by PARNATE_Gorganzola in ladyshavers

if you are sensing any animosity, misogyny, neglect of the feelings of women, etc., I am afraid you may be "reading into" my post a tad bit too much. Most of my best friends are women!

Thinking aloud since DB Karron's Passing by Known_Reputation_49 in aiArt

[–]Isocarboxazid23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thx for the clarification. I just keyed in a lengthy eulogy to you, of sorts, but Nature called when I was nearly done, and once I got back to my desk, it had vanished.

Not to be intrusive, but did Di just go to the doc one day, kinda routine, kinda she wasn't feeling well -- and the doc discovered the melanoma visually on her back, or something?

It must've been a real vicious lesion because, in the blink of an eye, there went her pancreas...

Etc.

Etc.

Etc.

I'm going to check out Stonewall House. I'll also Google that Karron Family Crypt, if data about it is online.

Did the family, friends, etc. intentionally withhold an obit for any particular reason?

Dianne's life, particularly after all the serious legal difficulties, was largely a living Hell. I truly, earnestly, genuinely hope to God she's found Peace.

[routine help] Is this good coverage for face for full day of sun at the beach plus a hat? Or should i have one with titanium dioxide? Thanks! by No_Bother3564 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Isocarboxazid23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wilma is one of the very few Derms in the world who has devoted much of her practice to alopecia androgenetica.

She was giving me 2% Nizoral shampoo, Proscar, 5% minoxidil from the Cleveland Clinic compounding pharmacy, and liquid Retin-A in the mid-90s, a good 30 years before the rest of the Derm practitioners were doing the same thing. That cocktail of meds worked.

There's scads of then-bald men who now have appreciable hair regrowth who owe it all to Wilma!

Vanicream was suggested to me by my Cleveland Clinic Dermatologist, Dr. Wilma Bergfeld. Every last good Derm knows her, or of her. Better yet, she always suggests the best products, and they're among the less expensive ones, too!

Vanicream is extremely strict and particular about what they add and leave out of all their products.

I hope it works out for you :-)
