Good Drug Sites. No, these sites do not refer to great drug dealers. Rather, they're sites with excellent info on drugs and drug interactions. Unfortunately, one of the hassles that goes along with CFS and FMS is lots of prescription meds for the various symptom sets. It is critically important to educate oneself regarding prescription meds - side effects and interactions can be extremely problematic. And no one else will take ownership over this issue. So it's up to you to take care of yourself and do your homework. RXList - a great site that is basically a well presented a readable version of the Physcian's Desk Reference (PDR). Previously, I actually used the PDR's consumer web site until they shut it down - boy was I mad. But then I discovered RXList which is better than the consumer PDR. So there. DrugChecker - from Drugstore.com. A very nice and easy to use drug interaction checker. 8:58:03 PM    comment []

I'm getting ready for my Friday visit with Dr. Bateman in Salt Lake. It's been ten months since I've seen her. I am certainly in a better place than ten months ago. I've put together a list of items to cover with her. I'll blog that list later this week. 8:34:21 PM    comment []
