MEDSHIELD COME TO THE PARTY - BUT WHAT ABOUT OTHER MEDICAL AID PATIENTS

I would like to thank Medshield for agreeing to put my medication on chronic.

They have decided to do so for a short period until they get a motivation from the doctor.

That was all that was needed but unfortunately I  had to go to huge lengths for them
to recognise that when doctors prescribe medicine it is normally done for a very good reason
especially after a stay in hospital and when the prescription is written by a specialist.

It is all very well and good that they have done this for me but what about other less aggressive
activists that just accept large corporate decisions to the detriment of their health.

I hope that the medical scheme ombudsman deals with this issue for future issues.

MEDSHIELD AND THEIR LAME EXCUSES - BUT MY COLON CONTUNUES TO BLEED

I have copied and sent MEDSHIELD medication information - so they can learn what the medication is used for.
You will see that they say
do not automatically allow for the approval of Asacol suppositories in your condition -
this medicating is one of the few medications that
is used for Ulcerative colitis - they approved the pills but not the suppositories. They did say to me it was because the suppositories were too expensive.
They doubt the doctors knowledge and have decided that their
office bound staff who are given the mandate = SAVE MONEY - DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE WELL BEING OF THE CLIENT
decision is way and above better than a specialist dealing in the field he is prescribing for.
 
By ignoring the prescription they are telling the doctor that they do not honour or recognise his degree or decisions

GOOD GOING MEDSHIELD - MAKE YOURSELVES RICHER AND YOUR CLIENTS SICKER

Subject: RE: HELLO PETER COMPLAINT - MEDICATION

Dear Yvonne

 

You can make as many excuses as you like.

 

I went to a registered gastroenterologist. Your company paid for me to be in hospital for 1 week for this condition.

 

It was stated that I had ulcerative colitis - your company approved my stay for that reason- it is well know that ASACOL suppositories are prescribed for this condition

so are you saying you doubt my doctor, that I forged the prescription.

 

This is certainly not conducive to a good relationship with your company when you insinuate that fraud may prevalent in my conduct in requiring medication to stop an serious disease.

 

Due to your stupid rules my colitis is now back full blown - well done. And the only reason is because you doubt and question the most honourable and learned  Dr Pettengell.

 

Do you honesty think he would prescribe that medication if he thought I did not require it.

 

Please note your response and this letter will be posted on as many blogs as possible as well as going to the medical aid ombudsman.

 

I do take umbrage that you treat me line a criminal and refuse to authorise medication that will hopefully make me well.

 

Rules and regulations are all very well if you are dealing with the common cold but severe colon bleeding should be dealt with differently.

 

Regards\

 

Jill

 
 

PS DOCTORS ARE NOT WAITING TO FILL OUT YOUR FORMS - THEY ARE BUS AND YOU SHOULD HONOUR THEIR REQUESTS VIA PRESCRIPTION.

      THAT SHOULD BE MOTIVATION ENOUGH - OR DO YOU THINK THEY WRITE IT OUT FOR FUN OR DUE TO LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE?

BEE STATUS - Level 4, 100% procurement recognition

ASACOL® suppositories

SCHEDULING STATUS:
S3

PROPRIETARY NAME:
(and dosage form)

ASACOL® suppositories

COMPOSITION:
Per suppository:
Mesalazine (5-aminosalicylic acid)        500 mg

PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION:
A 11.10 Medicines acting on gastro-intestinal tract, special combinations

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION:
ASACOL suppositories act locally, probably involving the inhibition of prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis.
ASACOL is mostly excreted in the faeces either as 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) or N-acetyl-5-ASA. About 20 per cent of the 5-ASA released in the colon, is absorbed and rapidly acetylated to N-acetyl-5-ASA, which is excreted in the urine.
The acetylated metabolite (active ingredient) has a half-life of approximately 10 hours and that of the parent compound approximately one hour.

INDICATIONS:
ASACOL is used for the treatment and maintenance of remission in ulcerative colitis. The suppositories are used for the treatment of mild to moderate proctitis and proctosigmoiditis.

CONTRA-INDICATIONS:
Hypersensitivity to any ingredients.
Allergy to salicylates.
Patients with impaired renal function.
Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been established.
Safety and efficacy have not been established in children.

WARNINGS:
It is not recommended in patients with renal impairment and caution should be exercised in patients with a raised blood urea or proteinuria.
Mesalazine-induced nephrotoxicity should be suspected in patients developing renal failure during treatment.
Use with caution in the elderly and usage is subject to patients having a normal renal function.

DOSAGE AND DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Adult dose: In proctitis and proctosigmoiditis one suppository to be inserted rectally up to three times daily, after defaecation. The dosage is dependent upon the severity of the disease and it may be possible to reduce the dosage as the condition improves.

SIDE-EFFECTS AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:
Side-effects are predominantly gastrointestinal. Mild nausea, colic, headaches, diarrhoea, anal irritation, abdominal pain, fever and hypersensitivity reactions may occur.
Asacol may be associated with the exacerbation of colitis symptoms in those patients who have previously had such problems with sulphasalazine.
Pancreatitis, myocarditis, pericarditis, intestinal nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and renal failure have been reported with oral treatment, usually reversible on withdrawal.
There are some reports of nephrotoxicity and peripheral neuropathy.
Drug-induced lupus may be a less frequent complication of mesalazine therapy, with pericarditis and pleuropericarditis prominent symptoms, and also rashes and arthralgia.
There have been less frequent reports of allergic lung reactions, eosinophylic pneumonia, hepatitis and blood dyscrasias such as leucopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and aplastic anaemia.
Mesalazine (5-aminosalicylic acid) should not be given with preparations which lower stool pH e.g. lactulose thereby preventing release of the active ingredient. Allergic manifestations may occur.

KNOWN SYMPTOMS OF OVERDOSAGE AND PARTICULARS OF ITS TREATMENT:
In case of accidental oral ingestion symptoms of overdosage include that of salicylism, e.g. dizziness, tinnitus, deafness, sweating, nausea and vomiting, headache, mental confusion, hyperventilation, fever, restlessness, ketosis, respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis. Depression of the central nervous system may lead to coma; cardiovascular collapse and respiratory failure.
There is no specific treatment for overdosage of Asacol but early lavage is recommended, if accidentally taken by mouth.
Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.

IDENTIFICATION:
An opaque, pale beige, torpedo-shaped suppository with a faint fatty odour.

PRESENTATION:
Cartons of 20 suppositories in white opaque cavity-formed PVC strips, printed on one side.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
Store below 25°C in a cool place, protected from light.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION

Asacol Suppositories contain 250 or 500 mg mesalazine per suppository.


Go to top of the page
3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM

Opaque, beige suppositories, containing 250 mg or 500 mg mesalazine.


Go to top of the page
4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS

Go to top of the page
4.1 Therapeutic indications

For the treatment of mild to moderate acute exacerbations of ulcerative colitis.

The suppositories are particularly appropriate in patients with distal disease.

For the maintenance of remission of ulcerative colitis.


Go to top of the page
4.2 Posology and method of administration

ADULTS:

Suppositories 250 mg: Three to six suppositories a day in divided doses, with the last dose at bedtime.

Suppositories 500 mg: A maximum of three suppositories a day in divided doses, with the last dose at bedtime.

ELDERLY: The normal adult dosage may be used unless renal function is impaired (see section 4.4).

CHILDREN: There is no dosage recommendation.


Go to top of the page
4.3 Contraindications

A history of sensitivity to salicylates or renal sensitivity to sulphasalazine. Confirmed severe renal impairment (GFR <20 ml/min). Children under 2 years of age.


Go to top of the page
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Use in the elderly should be cautious and subject to patients having normal renal function.

Renal disorder: Mesalazine is excreted rapidly by the kidney, mainly as its metabolite, N-acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid. In rats, large doses of mesalazine injected intravenously produce tubular and glomerular toxicity. Asacol should be used with extreme caution in patients with confirmed mild to moderate renal impairment (see section 4.3). Treatment with mesalazine should be discontinued if renal function deteriorates. If dehydration develops, normal electrolyte and fluid balance should be restored as soon as possible.

Serious blood dyscrasias have been reported very rarely with mesalazine. Haematological investigations should be performed if the patient develops unexplained bleeding, bruising, purpura, anaemia, fever or sore throat. Treatment should be stopped if there is suspicion or evidence of blood dyscrasia.


Go to top of the page
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Concurrent use of other known nephrotoxic agents, such as NSAIDs and azathioprine, may increase the risk of renal reactions (see section 4.4)


Go to top of the page
4.6 Pregnancy and lactation

No information is available with regard to teratogenicity; however, negligible quantities of mesalazine are transferred across the placenta and are excreted in breast milk following sulphasalazine therapy. Use of Asacol during pregnancy should be with caution, and only if the potential benefits are greater than the possible hazards. Asacol should, unless essential, be avoided by nursing mothers.

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Not applicable.


Go to top of the page
4.8 Undesirable effects

The side effects are predominantly gastrointestinal, including nausea, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Headache has also been reported.

There have been rare reports of leucopenia, neutropenia, agranulocytosis, aplastic anaemia and thrombocytopenia, alopecia, peripheral neuropathy, pancreatitis, abnormalities of hepatic function and hepatitis, myocarditis and pericarditis, allergic and fibrotic lung reactions, lupus erythematosus-like reactions and rash (including urticaria), interstitial nephritis and nephrotic syndrome with oral mesalazine treatment, usually reversible on withdrawal. Renal failure has been reported. Mesalazine-induced nephrotoxicity should be suspected in patients developing renal dysfunction during treatment.

Mesalazine may very rarely be associated with an exacerbation of the symptoms of colitis, Stevens Johnson syndrome and erythema multiforme.

Other side effects observed with sulphasalazine such as depression of sperm count and function, have not been reported with Asacol.

Rarely, local irritation may occur after administration of rectal dosage forms containing mesalazine.

Dear Ms Henning

We have investigated your complaint and as per the discussion with our COO this afternoon we can advise as follows:

Asacol suppositories requires a motivation from your doctor as our protocols do not automatically allow for the approval of Asacol suppositories in your condition. We have e-mailed you, as well as your doctor a copy of the letter from Medicine Management today, indicating the motivation request. We can further advise that we are trying to contact your doctor in order to obtain the required motivation, and will provide you with feedback once we are able to speak to him.  

We would like to note that to date the doctor has not yet completed the application form as sent to him by yourself and the authorisation process thus far was done on the basis of receiving the prescription and application form.

We trust you find the above in order.

Kind Regards

Yvonne Govender

MEDSHIELD WANTS PATIENTS TO BLEED TO DEATH

Melani

 

You in your own capacity have been helpful but it amazes me that these things have to get to this level before it can be sorted.

 

Your company  said they would call the doctor today to get his input, I called the chronic department to see if the medication had been authorised .I specifically asked if the doctor had called the chronic telephone number that I had given him. I was not expecting anything from your company until I received an sms telling me the reply had been posted???????????????? That generally makes no sense to anyone outside of your company. Anyway I called your offices to be told that the pills had been authorised but the suppositories were too expensive to be authorised. I asked when they were gong to let me know they said they had sent a letter.

 

1. Do you think that sending a letter that will take probably 7 days to get to me is in any way conducive to healing my very painful and bleeding colon.

    During his time the matter will only get much worse which will necessitate me being hospitalised again at a cost of R12 000 per week, I am not quite sure why

    your company think that that is cheaper than approving medication.

 

2. Do you normally have doctors prescribing medication for a well documented medical condition for the fun of it. Are your people who decide these things aware that ASACOL is the main drug that is used for ulcerative colitis. DO they think the doctor prescribes it for  fun so I can go through he discomfort of putting medication into my rectum every morning and every night/

 

I will deliver to you and your deciding medical staff a bottle that contains my faeces that are covered in blood and mucous - this is expelled from my body 4 - 6 times per day.

Your enlightened medical staff can then send it to the lab to see if it is real and maybe when they look at it they might like to take sometime to think how I feel all day every day.

 

One does not normally bleed from ones insides unless there is something very wrong and very painful. As I cannot measure the pain I can tell you that it is like a continuous nagging knife being stabbed into my colon and being twisted 23 hours a day.

 

There is obviously a very big problem with all your protocols and rules. Yes I know companies must have rules and regulations  but at the expense of the clients health and existence I find it very hard to  understand why you do not look after your clients in a far better manner.

 

I will continue to blog this issue all over the internet - locally and internationally as I do not believe your company work to the well being of their clients.

 

I will also post this letter on all the blog sites that I can find.

 

Pity that the telephone number you gave me is only answered by a very bad voice message. There is never a secretary or any other person besides a call centre who are not authorised to do anything that answer MEDSHIELD phones. wonder what Medshield hare hiding that they cannot be there for their paying customers

 

Imagine I was like the majority of your clients and just accepted what your call centre told me .....................

 

NOW I WILL HOPEFULLY EDUCATE YOUR OTHER CUSTOMERS ON HOW NOT TO ACCEPT YOUR INFERIOR SERVICE - LIKE YOUR LYING CALL CENTRE AGENTS (for those who do not know I have proved  that they tell their call centre agents to lie to their clients- it is on a voice recording and told by an agent that he is told what to say to certain questions even though it might not be true - Mi KNOW YOU SAID YOU HAVE DEALT WITH IT BUT UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T BELIEVE THE INTEGRITY OF MEDSHIELD )

EXPECT MANY MIRACLES

Miracles are a daily happening in all our lives, sometimes we acknowledge them and at other times we just take them for granted. If you live with the rules below and they are so easy to incorporate into your life miracles will flow into your life as they should - ALL THE TIME.

I have heard so many people explain why they need a miracle or what they would do if they got the thing they expected. Please remember no explanations are necessary and material wealth and creation is there to enhance your life and those around you - so the miracles are perpetuated all day long. Trying to justify what is rightly yours is only going to push it away.

In his book The Twelve Conditions of a Miracle, Dr. Michael Abrams retranslated portions of the Bible and in working with the original ancient Greek he discovered layers of information that had not been revealed in contemporary translations. He believes that the author of the original composition embedded a subtext within the subtleties of the Greek language that tell us the techniques for manifesting miracles.

A map for creating miracles really exists, according to Dr. Abrams, and it can be found in the Gospel according to St. Matthew.

The Twelve Conditions for a Miracle

1. The first condition is Emptiness. It involves establishing a condition of stillness, a vacuum. Nature rushes to fill a void.

A vacuum is a very special situation. Because it is empty, it possesses the tremendous potential to be filled. Like a magnet, a vacuum exerts a force that pulls things inexorably toward it. The less a vacuum contains —the emptier it is— the more powerful the attractive force it exerts on the surrounding world.

2. The second condition is Alignment. This means getting your own life and intent to move in the same direction as the universe. This means swimming with the current to its final destination.

Evaluate your dream in terms of whether it will harm you or hinder your progress to a state of compassion. Adjust your course —shift your goal so that you are in alignment with the flow of the universe.

3. The third condition involves Asking. If you know what you really want, and how to ask for it, the universe will fulfill your request with startling accuracy.

Never attempt to ask for anything that is not organically connected to such a higher purpose.

4. The fourth condition involves Maximizing. Expansion of food, that fed the multitude, is an expansion of what already exists, not materialization from nothing.

The universe is very careful. It hates waste. Those who use its precious energy with appropriate gratitude and care are invariably rewarded. Conversely, if you don't use your gifts, you can expect to lose them.

5. The fifth condition involves Giving. The act of giving relieves congestion and stimulates the flow and increase of resources.

6. The sixth condition involves Grounding, at a physical and metaphysical level. As in electrical power, if a circuit is not grounded, currents cannot flow through it.

The power of the current that flows through you will be directly proportional to the strength of your conviction.

7. The seventh condition involves Seeing or visualizing. Unless the desired end is clearly seen, it cannot be reached.

Even as "the worst" transpires in livid detail before our very eyes, it is an important part of our whole purpose as human beings to learn how to see "the best." That is one of our greatest and most important tasks as humans.

8. The eighth condition is Gratitude. When a human being is in a state of true gratitude, the fabric of time and space is favourably altered.

Divine intelligence generally won't go too far out of its way to provide for you in a miraculous way if you are negative and complacent about the gifts you have already received.

9. The ninth condition involves Acting As If. A person enacting a miracle acts as if the miracle has already occurred. Jesus didn't wait for the bread and fish to multiply —he began to feed the people with what he had.

Spirit helps those who help themselves. The universe funnels its energy into the lives of those who act, those who work, those who make an effort to actually get things accomplished.

10. The tenth condition involves Engaging the Cycle. Energy flows in a cycle or circuit throughout the universe, from the microscopic to the astronomical plane. Only when a person works with a circularity of flow can miracles occur. What goes around comes around.

Every enlightened person in history has tried to tell us that we receive as we give. It will always be true: What goes around comes around.

11. The eleventh condition is Receiving. Often we believe that receiving or accepting what the universe gives may be the easiest part, but often it is the most undeveloped aspect of our evolution. It is about being totally open to what is going to happen. Being ready and willing to accept the flow that comes towards us and enjoying it and being totally conscious of it when it comes.

Remember, Spirit abhors a vacuum. As soon as you prepare an empty container to receive, the universe will automatically begin mobilizing to fill it.

12. The twelfth condition is Recycling. When all of the people had eaten and were finished, the fragments were not left on the ground, but were gathered and recycled. All throughout our ecological and biological system nature maximizes by recycling everything it possibly can.

What happens after the manifestation has crystallized is just as important as what happens before. The flow of energy must never be abandoned once the dream becomes reality.

EXPECT MANY MIRACLES

With love

CALLING THE WITCHES OF NINE

CALLING THE WITCHES OF NINE

Come on all my friends
lets gather here today
for near in the future comes the day
where the triple triad is coming our way

Witches of angels
and angels of all
gather around to hear our ancient call
smiling and laughing
the breeze dancing and shimmering on the
angles wings
sparkling with laughter
we can now hear it all

Witches I call you
I call you my family
time for us all now  to unite

all join together on this auspicious occasion
999 for her we shall call
all the songs we have learnt
all the rhythms we have  swayed to
as we call to the earth to hold open her palms

strength to strength
jasmine blossom to orange magnolia
bubbles and brews in our pots that we choose
we created the way forward and dreamt the results
we fought the darkness of the jinxes that came
we ranted and raved
like ones so depraved
only to hold the gates closed as we
play the darkness at it own game.

so on this day of the triple triad
let us celebrate the pureness
of all that is to come

seeping in through the cracks so tight
like angel feathers swishing in the light
bring upon this earth all joy
manifesting the truth we have so long waited for

Manifest the outcome
delight in the being
I thank you my friends for your tireless ways
and for lifting the veils on the distant haze

Time to be calm
time to stop
time to take care
Allow the mania to flow and with light
that around you may glow for many a night
be happy my witches
be happy my witches

The Brain is Dizzy - The mania of Cymbalta withdrawal

The brain is dizzy
the fingers of the mind are slowly trying to part the curtains
that have kept the ambiance so muted all these years.
Don't move too fast - the brain cant keep up with itself.
The brain is dizzy

What was that?
Something stirring in another part of the body
Remember that - I think its called emotion
Where have you been?
Don't do that  - there are tears in my eyes
Don't move too fast  - the brain cant keep up with itself
The brain is dizzy

Why is there anger - that is not allowed
I am supposed to accept all that is handed out
The injustices of society
The rules of corporations
The control is slipping, its sliding out of reality
I cant stop it any longer
Why should I  - who knows what's really in my mind
Don't move too fast  - the brain cant keep up with itself
The brain is dizzy

Faster, faster here we go
This is a roller coaster ride of mind boggling proportions
Can you feel it?
Can you see it?
I am sorry,
This isn't me. 
Don't move too fast  - the brain cant keep up with itself
The brain is dizzy

The light seeps in as the curtains open
nothing can stop them
the track is on a one way movement
Sepia to full colour
Mind blowing senses
Don't move too fast  - the brain cant keep up with itself
The brain is dizzy

has had to compensate and cover up
now in its natural form
with wrinkles of hardship
and tears of wisdom
really be quietened.

Where does one draw the line
What is reality and how real
are you allowed to be?


we teach our children to tell the truth
but then go through life throwing
silk coverings over basic reality
until we are not sure what is really acceptable
anymore.

But deep down we know the truth
or is that our own made up reality?
