Good advisor
I have used telemedicine a lot during the covid pandemic. I personally love it. It has been a true life saver for me and my family . Save time , gas money, no exposure to germs in the office .
I personally think this should remain and option even after the pandemic is over .

I had my last two Dr's visits virtual and I think it went great

I have been using the cpap machine for almost 2 months and still I'm not used to it. Every morning I wake up with headache, (the type that is cloudy , stuffy} and it stays with me all day. I tried different pillows to no avail. I tried different masks also to no avail. In the mornings my noise feels very stuff and I think its because of the air pressure #(10) . Is there anyone familiar or know anything about this issue please and please let me know. You could also email me if you like. I'm very disparate for an answer. Thank you.

@atoraya54 You should contact your Doctor asap. Your settings are wrong. It is not your pillows

@Ms.Vee I read your post about being on opiate for your pain and unfortunately I am in the same boat as you are. In 2010 I had the 1st of 5 back surgeries and I have been living in excruciating pain ever since. You are correct you have to go see your doctor in person to receive that kind of prescription to get your medicine and I have to do the same thing as well so I have to drive 30 minutes or more every month to see my pain management doctor to get my scripts so I can take them to the pharmacy so they can get filled. Now that the Winter months are coming up it worries me about driving over their monthly to get them but I have no other choice. It's too bad that other people have taken advantage of the opiates and made them a problem for people like us who need them for pain control. Personally I never thought I would have to be on these because of a surgery I did not want to have nor did I want to live in pain the rest of my life but because of this I have to do what is required to be able to get medicine to help me manage pain and to be able to function on a daily basis.
When does outbreak began I did do a online visit with my primary doctor but she did not have to do any prescribing of any medicines at the time but when I do need any refills she is very accommodating for me as well as my other specialists are. Now that the outbreak is coming to a head again I am sure that we will be going back to video appointments again and I am sure that my doctors and Other doctors will probably do regular prescriptions for their patience as well.

Hello everyone,
How are you today?
In recent months following the COVID-19 crisis, we've seen the the healthcare community turn more and more to telemedecine. Now, primary care physicians and other health professionals are encouraged to conduct non-urgent consultations remotely by telephone, video and online consultations where possible.
And what about you? Has you used teleconsultation recently? If so, in what context? What did you think of it? Is it something you'd continue to use in the future? Why or why not?
