I had a sore in my nose and went to see an ENT. He sprayed some numbing stuff inside my nose, stuck a light up it and looked around. That was it. I got the bill and they charged me 800 dollars for a surgical procedure. I called to question it, and they said anytime an instrument is put into someone, it's considered surgery. Is that normal? I don't get charged for surgery when the doc looks in my ear or down my throat! Should I have complained?

when i had a colonoscopy as a response to "symptoms" i was assured that i would feel no pain at all, would be totally sedated and just wake up when it was all over. WRONG!! i woke up twice during the test, due to breakthrough pain in my abdomen...SEVERE CRAMPY PAIN like i needed to have a bowel movement. they didn't tell me why i woke up. has anyone ever experienced that and found out why it happened? does it mean there's some sort of obstruction there? no results yet, so i'm really in the dark.

Now I know what if does and how it works. I also know many bodybuilders use it to drop excess fat, which i believe is illegal. But thats beside the point. Now I am in excellent shape with perfect blood pressure and perfect cholesterol at 11% body fat. I want to cut down to 8-9% by november for a competition. Now "if" i were to use cytomel t3 in a pyramid cycle for 4 weeks would it really effect me. I've ased numerous bodybuilders and they said its not a problem as long as you dont take more then 100mcg/day for no longer then 6 weeks in a pyramid cycle (wk 1: 25mcg, wk 2: 50mcg, wk 3: 50 mcg, wk 5: 25 mcg). Now I want a second opinion, as I will also consult my doctor.

I have a plugged ear & it hums. I thought it may have been Glucosamine Chondroitin caused it since that is the only change I've had. Only other thing I can think of is possibly a head cold cause I've been getting a lot of drainage now & nose filling up.
