We so appreciate your voice on behalf of the millions of Americans with chronic lung diseases like COPD.

Thanks so much, very informative

@janetbetts5159 More proof I know what I’m talking about. This is from 7 years ago. Maybe you live in a blue state that has stepped in to stop some of these practices but in my red state, patients can be on their own.

And once it get aporved, it has time limit. Not for ever. Ussually have to redo whole process again in 6 month s or 1 year.

We need to take profiteering out of health care.

I got the Rsv vaccine for my little girl and she passed shortly after … don’t trust these vaccines

How are you doing? I am a regular viewer from your channel. I am just here to tell you that you are creating very amazing content. Good luck to you.

I experienced this from prolonged Meth use, cause the dopamine in my brain became so depleted

Don't take antipsychotics medicine.my eyes cannot see center.fxk antipsychotics medicine.

I had akathesia before I was scared for my life

I’m on *TRIKAFTA* and it works! 🇨🇦

What is asked during prior authorization.

0:58 For anyone with TD reading this, please don’t withdraw from other people. I don’t have TD myself, but I fell for someone who does. It was love at first sight for me and the only problems TD caused for me were trouble reading his lips (I’m partially deaf). You have no idea who is going to love you, and if you withdraw, you won’t get that chance. I know saying it won’t matter with the right person is a cliche, but it’s true. Even while partially deaf and struggling to lip read, I still adore him and want to put in the extra effort because he’s worth it.

Can you do a video on akathisia

Dr. Naidu is the BEST. He is always educating many doctors & patients about all the latest HCM treatments. He is knowledgeable, kind, compassionate & caring. Treats each patient like family and individualizes their treatment. My husband was diagnosed over 20 years ago. We are blessed to have Dr. Naidu in our lives. Thank you & God Bless you for all you & your staff does everyday.

KNOWINGLY Withholding Medication from a patient due to a prior authorization can lead to NEGLIGENCE on the behalf of the Healthcare company.

Gary, the resolution of your gout is a great blessing, but your life may depend on further action to overcome complacency. We know that a necessary condition for gout to occur is hyperuricemia, so medications to suppress hyperuricemia are the usual treatment for gout. But what caused the hyperuricemia before its pharmaceutal suppression? In most cases it was obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is the frequent prolonged lack of breathing during sleep. OSA's episodes of oxygen suppression have many life-threatening consequences if they continue unresolved for too long, consequences for which hyperuricemia-suppressing pharmaceuticals provide almost no benefit. That's why so many gout patients have been found to die prematurely, even if their gout flares are well-controlled by medication. You owe it to your family and to yourself to see a sleep physician to be sure that you don't have OSA, or to resolve it before it's too late.

So the solution to stop a drug induced condition is to take more drugs

I’ve had a history of gout for close to 25 years. 9 years ago was I diagnosed with end stage kidney failure. I was on dialysis for about 8 months and had a transplant from a live donor. Please don’t ignore.

As you may all know - sugar is a big culprit in gout though many doctors don't seem to be aware of this still. I have found lots of interviews on line about this. Search youtube and you will too.

I agree tubing misconnections need to be a priority. Also, keep the tubing off the ground and easily traceable is important too. The Beata Clasp medical line organizer helps with this safety concern.

Welcome to America, land of the schemes

Just don't take the meds

I'm doing really well overall but would DEFINITELY like to find a Gout Specialist in my area! My soon to be former Doctor SUCKS & was overwhelmingly confirmed by 3 Doctors from other places that told me to change my PCP ASAP!

I don’t think healthcare should be have too many middlemans but that just means government becomes the middleman here.

So what happened, what did you do and how did it improve the situation?

Hi Gary, I’ve been battling gout for a long time, my attacks are often triggered by running impact. My question is more related to symptoms.. did you ever feel numb, pins and needles, weak and possibly even had a sort of clumsiness… and brain fog… also did you feel unwell… almost sort of headache or flu like?

This is my job, I am employed to an insurance company and we are the one reviewing and asking questions to the Md, nurses or medical assistants who are submitting PA for the patient. Most of the time, medications that requires PA are those medications that are too expensive and contains opioid that is an addicting substance. This is to avoid abuse, overussage and to reduce cost, no matter what u say, insurance is still a business you know. If the patient really needs the medication, it is being approved most of the time.

Nunca estaré de acuerdo con que la salud mundial la rija un derecho exclusivo de una patente, si hubiese sido así desde un inicio, aún se estuvieran muriendo, por millones, personas por infecciones o de rabia. Es obvio que se necesitan fondos para la investigación, pero tampoco para que los laboratorios se atiborren de dinero con el mercadeo de la vida. Todo en su justa medida este video denota sus intereses demeritando a los que hacen medicamentos genéricos.

I was skeptical about natural remedies for gout until I tried Planet Ayurveda's products. Their authenticity and efficacy have won me over - they're now an essential part of my wellness routine.

So we don't get to hear what you did to alleviate your gout? Fucking brilliant video 👍🏽

If a generic is doing that well, give the brand name three years on their pattern. We might be able to wipe out altogether watch 60 minutes. It’s less than three minutes long generics versus brand names and a distribution cost

Thank you for doing this video. I have just been diagnosed with mild thyroid eye disease. I got it while being treated for graves with PTU. Didn't respond well to methimazole. Vasculitis. Trying PTU will find out tomorrow if PTU is incompatible with me. Rumatology is looking to see if it is causing issues for internal or (vasculitis) I see in the requirements for treatment with Tepeza, that you have to have moderate TED. Can I get this treatment while off thyroid medication and actively hyperthyroid? May I get this medication if I have mild ted? Thank you ladies and thank you Wes. You are brave and I know it totally sucks to have this, good luck to you sir.

Hepatitis C patient is cured Is there a risk of spreading hepatitis C?

Terrible commercials for these mental health orgs. I know who you are!

Have you ever noticed that you get gout flareups during winter? it's because you don't drink as much water during winter than summer, when you get a flare up drink water often, yes you will need to go to the toilet a lot more but you will be flushing out the crystals and diluting their concentrations in the affected joint. This has been working for me.

Hi, I need help regarding the thrombocytopenia can you people help.

Is there any recourse for patients? Legislators so far have only produced doublespeak without any real help or advice.

It seems like uncontrolled high blood sugar causes an inflammatory response in the circulatory system, which then connects to your CV organs and your eyes. The inflammatory response causes scarring of the tissues---so this leads to things like scarring of the retina in diabetic retinopathy, scarring of the renals that lead to ESRF, and scarring of the heart--which can lead to enlarged heart, cardiac arrest, heart attack, and even heart failure.

There are a lot of medications that can contribute to TD; in my case, an antidepressant, a medication for fibromyalgia that I’ve been on for years, and even my cholesterol med was a potential contributor! Do your research, and talk to your doctor about medication replacements.

Can person discontinue antipsychotics in this case?

Prior Authorization is another made up concept by insurance companies like "Deductable" and "Co-Pay" to skin our wallets. All these invented terms and the vast profit made from them are made legal by that profit paying a group of Congress people to make it so. Meanwhile people are dieing from being denied care. Just a new hi-tech form of highway robbery.

this is a great video. thanks for educating me. very succint and short and detailed at the same time.
