Shaky hands

[saor]

You have got to be ****ing joking?!?

Why would a doctor recommend you get and OTC drug and not prescribe the right thing to begin with? The pharmacist will see through you like a glass door.

You realise that a beta blocker comes with it's own set of side effects and possible interactions with other drugs etc.

Grow a pair and go see a doctor. Why on earth are you scared of them? Did one touch you inappropriately once?

It's infuriating seeing people being this stupid with their health. (Thinking of) lying to the chemist to get some drugs they don't need.

My plan is to say my hands are shaking and the doc recommended some low dosage beta blockers and they will give me something...

Do not mess around with tremors.

Self diagnosis is almost as dangerous as using WebMD.

I know someone who self diagnosed with these quick internet tests that they "had" bipolar disorder. The self diagnosis manifested such a convincing belief that they even convinced the psych that they had it.

A regiment of hectic drugs that wasn't required was prescribed. This "condition" was later discovered to be incorrectly diagnosed and managed with regular psychologist visits and a change of lifestyle.

Talk about ****ing yourself and your life up because you don't leave it to the professionals to diagnose you.

You are too young to be this stupid. This kind of thinking usually only comes with age when the brain has started to deteriorate...

1. The pharmacist will NEVER give you anything that requires a script without a script.
2. The OTC stuff isn't as good as the stuff that requires a script.
3. Doctors who examine you will help you much better than wherever you got this beta blocker advice from.

They may be right, your doctor could prescribe beta blockers. They usually go with the simpler treatment first before they send you for all kinds of expensive and inconvenient tests if they don't have to.
Ask them how long to try it for before you go back if it doesn't work. Then the doctor will proceed to the next step.

Do NOT just go "meh, doc doesn't know, I'm never going back".
Go to the same doctor, they sometimes go by process of elimination, like it or not. Otherwise they would have to immediately do ALL the blood tests, cat scans and MRIs.

My dad had some issues which the doctor just diagnosed as a prostate issue. Got a blood test and some meds. When the issue became recurring, instead of going back, my dad just went for the blood test himself, and got some OTC meds. The blood test would show an infection, which would improve and then come back 6 months later. He would just self medicate with OTC.

If he had gone back to the doctor, he would have seen something was up and diagnosed the benign bladder tumor much earlier. As it was, he was lucky that the tumor was slow growing and that he didn't lose his bladder or part of it as it had already started to harden.

Again, what are you more likely to regret in 5 years time? Going to the doctor or not going to the doctor?

Will try the pharmacist first. They normally are wannabe doctors so they give good/decent advice.

I don't really know. Never asked but I assume just some sort of reactive depression and stress.

Never diagnosed them

It's the lack of caffeine.

I have coffee every day of my life, if I skip a day I start shaking.

Also make sure you use freshly ground beans.

I have seen alcoholics exhibit similar symptoms.

Alcohol tears families apart. Coffee brings family together.

Nope
What’s CTE?

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive brain condition that's thought to be caused by repeated blows to the head and repeated episodes of concussion. It's particularly associated with contact sports, such as boxing or American football.

You appear to have a rather large chip on your shoulder.

Can you add me to your will? Or send me your details so I can take out a life insurance policy on you.

So I went to the pharmacy, told the guy what I need, he gave me a name. Inderal 10mg. Will try it for a month...

I take 2 castles before going hunting. Steady as a rock.

Same here, but I mix the 2 beers into a double whiskey.
