I just got back from visiting my general practitioner. I have always had sinus problems and drainage backwards into my throat and lungs. It was annoying but now that my diaphragm's affected by MS is hard to cough up the phlegm I I've been doing for 40 years. I found that an over-the-counter decongestant like Claritin – D work fairly well but the pharmacy told my wife she couldn't get it after I had a for 3 weeks. They have rules you know, I'm sure they suspected us of making methamphetamines. They said I needed to get a prescription and that I could get a decongestant.
So now I have a prescription for decongestant. My doctor must know that my wife and I are not making meth. To me it is amazing how stupid some of these medical roles and solutions are. Don't even get me started on insurance! I had to go out in the rain to get to the doctor for what ended up taking about 5 minutes of the doctors time. Most of the time was the nurse updating my computer records. At least my son took me before he went to work so my wife did not have to miss work.
