I would imagine Health Anxiety is Big Business in the US-highly lucrative for the doctors who seize the opportunity to line their pockets whilst pandering to the worried well who are never satisfied with a clean bill of health.
It's big business for the pharmaceutical companies. Have you guys been here? When you watch TV, especially around dinner time on the major networks, there are commercials for medicines.

Wow, commercials for medicines- like major medicines and not just cough mix and paracetamol ? LOL
It sure is looking that way......They know there is nothing wrong with him, they know what is actually wrong with him
Yeah, big medicines. Here are some examples you can watch on YouTube:

The side effects alone would scare me off! ~lol~ Imagine life with a lower A1C reading and the risk of severe side effects!
Positive thoughts

My dog went in for a bad leg over Christmas (now healed up) and they did a blood test because it had been some time since he had one. They now recommend some liver support to reduce his enzymes. £90 a month. Guess what? The contents can be bought for far less than this and made up yourself. A 1 minute look via Google revealed I could buy the exact same supplement for £40 a month.
And that's because of insurance companies in my eyes. Vets milk your insurance company knowing you will never realise what's going on and your premiums rise slightly compared to the huge over inflation of private health care charges. We've had this before when they wanted to keep charging up £29 for some eye drops and the specialist we who they referred us too sad don't bother as it's little more than what is available on the supermarket shelf so buy it yourself and don't go through your insurance. It now costs us £4 a tube as opposed to the £29 the vet wants to charge.
US docs know they aren't charging you, they charge the insurance for most. How many people think about their premiums rising and how much of that us due to over prescribing, over testing and higher than needed profit margins? Isn't this why Trump wants to forge new trade agreements including clauses to overcharge all the foreigners for the same meds so as to subsidise them to those within the US? But the real question should be why that is? Drug manufacturing can't be that expensive and especially with mental health meds where nothing seems to have moved on for decades when you think about antidepressants.

Well, I've just discovered my left hand is actually atrophied on the back. The muscle on the back side of my hand between my thumb and index finger... it's a large bulge when I squeeze my thumb to my index finger on my right hand. However, on my left hand it's a much smaller prominence. Like literally 1/2 the size of my right hand. I am right handed, but I would not expect to see such a large difference between those muscles. My left hand is the one that has had most of the twitching. My left index finger is still twitching today... which, surprise, the twitch is coming from this muscle that I think is atrophied. I can see the twitch fire and it kinda makes my finger move side to side a bit.
This is a very depressing development in my story and honestly does confirm to me I have ALS. I had an unusual presentation at the beginning but now it's starting to look like more of a normal case... Atrophy, twitching, etc.
You keep telling us you have MND/ALS whatever but do nothing about it.
We really don't need to know to be honest. Just go and get treatment as I keep sayng.
This is an anxiety site which you don't have apparently so why bother posting here with updates?
