I recently moved and found a new dentist. When I went for routine cleaning he made it clear that the first visit will be xrays and an inspection. His findings I had 3 cavities and needed perio cleaning. His office had paper work for me to sign agreeing to do the work and $1900 charge. I walk...

My gastrologist didn't think it was severe enough for surgery. Later I discovered I also, have a umbilical hernia and they said the same thing. Maybe it's because I'm with a Advantage HMO and not the company insurance I had years ago which didn't tie doctors down.

I have a hiatal hernia,GERD, LPR and gastritis, that was really bad three years ago. I didn't want to live on pantoprazole forever and after some research I did the elimination diet. By doing this it gave time for the gastritis to heal and find my guts worst enemies. That means giving up...

Did they come with a happy massage?

Of the one's I kept my past lens orders all have the pd's on them. Problem is they are all different. So much for accuracy when being measured by the optician. One taken by COSTCO was with a pupilometer and is in the middle of the hand taken ones.

Warby Parkers gets good reviews but for their prices I could go to COSTCO or wally at least if they can't get them right I can return them for full refund.

I find it difficult to be very accurate dotting my glasses with a pen as per the optician. It would seem that looking through pin holes in a card would get the same results provided the card was placed at the same distance from the eyes. When I look at an object 200 feet away I see one circle...

Big box stores don't get it right either. Just like at my PD's all different. The last pair I bought from COSTCO and they were the worse. I took them back after their 3rd try to get them right. Another large chain got their glasses back as well. The local optical shop had to do them three times...

Hopefully, someone with expertise can help me out. I attempted to order eyeglasses online but run into snags. 1) I have a asymmetrical face with one eye .5 cm lower than the other. Two of the most popular online sites only cut bifocals to a standard height they do not cut two separate heights...

My bad experience was with hotels.com and Days Inn 3 years ago. I booked a room the night before but when I arrived I discovered the date was for the following week. I don't know how that happened. My bad for not verifying the receipt but neither Days Inn nor hotels would make any concessions...

a tale about two separate cases. Case A 61 year old diagnosed with a slow prostrate cancer. He lost his insurance and never did any follow ups. At age 66 on medicare he finds out his prostrate is eat up and had to have it removed. He lost his sex life. Case B a 55 year old Pharmacist diagnosed...

I've had gastritis for 30 years and could not drink any hard liquor or take any aspirins. a glass or two of wine or a few beers was ok. They both would have me in stomach pain for weeks. Recently, I had upper GI scoped and was diagnosed with a hietal hernia, GERD and LPR after having very bad...

Five months ago I had cataract surgery with Toric iols implant to correct for astigmatism. I'm having dry eye issues and doing lubricating drops 4-5 times daily and still using Ketorolac once a day in one eye as a precaution as I was having infection issues at first. My vision is about 20/40...

I've worn progressives for 20 years. I started with the Verilux and it took me about 4-5 weeks to adjust. You can't go back and forth with single vision lenses or your eyes won't adjust to them. Once I got adjusted I couldn't be without them. I was fortunate to had a good optician because the PD...

I couldn't justify paying for lessons as I wouldn't be able to spend much time on a driving range with my back and I've only been playing about once every 2 or 3 months. The 3/4 swing has helped with my back and I may start playing more if I become more comfortable with it. I'm trying to...
