The increase in prices for ED drugs only reflects the overall trend toward high rates of inflation for pharmaceuticals. A 2010 report by the AARP says that around 75% of prescriptions in the U.S. are generic, and that in 2009 the costs of most popular name-brand drugs increased by more than 8%, despite the fact that U.S. consumer prices on average that year actually dropped by about 0.5%. From 2004 to 2010, overall inflation was 13.3%, yet the cost of non-generic drugs increased by 41.5% over that same time period.

Yes, unfortunately my wife had her thyroid destroyed with radiation as well – when she was a young adult and now has to take Synthroid for the foreseeable future. We’re praying for a miracle because God is our only alternative for the reversal

Because sometimes you have to take drugs or you are NOT going to get better. I had thyroid cancer and the radiation destroyed the function of the mucous membranes and salivary glands so that when I get a sinus infection there is no mechanism to clear the debris and it becomes a superinfection. Oh, and my thyroid glad is gone, so I need to take levothyroxine daily or turn into a cretin and die. There are no alternatives.

That “nurse” in the back happens to be a Family Nurse Practitioner that has advanced education and training in treating patients using his/her expert knowledge base, complex decision-making skills and clinical competencies in order to care for his/her patients in an independent manner. Educate yourself before you write a story…do your research! I was a journalist before I became a RN, then a nurse practitioner. Nurse practitioners are a huge part of healthcare and will most certainly be utilized more in the future with the rising costs of healthcare. Insurance companies are planning to offer discounts for “insureds” that go to APNs.

why take drugs anyway…if you just eat right, fruits and vegetables, whole grains.. and herbs, (in many cases) your body will cure naturally over time…eating right has no side effects…. taking drugs has side effects….the truth is, in todays modern impatient times, a symptom should not be covered up by drugs (that are engineered to alter your bodies natural behavior)… but rather a symptom should be “listened to”…and dietary and behavior changes should be made to relieve the symptom naturally….
