Part of the issue is what the doctors prescribe. I pay $20 per 500 for my Potassium Citrate over the counter and my prescription for the non-generic prescribed by my Urologist was $100 for 30.
I picked up a bottle of pancreatic enzymes off of Amazon for $35. I will need to toy around with dosage to see if it works and at what dosage. The problem with these enzymes is they are normally secreted into the digestive system after the stomach. The stomach acid can ruin the enzymes so they may not work at all. I am hoping some of it makes it thru to the small intestines. The prescription version supposedly has a coating that survives the stomach acid but then miraculously dissolves once in the small intestines. Not sure how a coating survives stomach acid only to dissolve in the intestines. Maybe it is thick enough to hold up for an average period of time based on studies but everyone’s digestive tract operates at different speeds. Mine is really slow. I have burped up chili(gross and yes, it was still chili) after 6 hours of sitting in my gut.
My wife works for united health care anyone have any questions on Medicare and all that shit, she can help.I’m confused with all the choices too. I’m getting ready to turn 65 and have to make decisions on Medicare and supplement insurance. Mr Sub kept his regular health insurance he had before he retired (BCBS) plus the additional medicare payment. So far everything has been paid in full except some prescription charges which so far have been tolerable but he pays around 400 a month for both and we don’t know how that compares to what others are paying and what they are getting for it. I guess I plan to do the same unless I find out there is a better deal. Don’t like the idea of having medical bills. We are both in good health. I do have some kidney issues and going to the specialist does cost me more than I like out of pocket. I’m hoping that those out of pocket expenses will go away after Medicare kicks in, of course I will have to start paying that too so you still pay….
‘it’s very confusing and all the tv commercials don’t help and only make me more skeptical about making decisions about it all.

About time. Been coming for a while.In the news today - very good news for Germany -
Germany legalises cannabis, allowing possession of up to 25 grams and cultivating up to three plants for personal use -
Germany officially legalises cannabis
Germany has today joined the list of countries who have legalised cannabis for personal use. As a result, smoking the drug in a lot of public spaces will be legal from 1 April.www.dailymail.co.uk
Yes having one in the house I can have a fresh pizza anytime In about 20-30 minutes depending what I put on it providing that I have a dough ready which I have usually. It heats up in the time it takes me to stretch out the dough and put some toppings on.
It was not unfortunate for me. My retiring doc says cannabis is the devil and says you never know what’s in it…I told him I grew my own weed and knew exactly what was in it. I wish I’d have never told him I smoked. Was trying to give him a chance but he put a red mark in my chart and that seems to be the only thing he remembers about me. I saw notes he made in my uploaded file that I was argumentative.
I’m glad that he’s retiring. I wish him well.
