I know it's a rather dumb question, but....?  Has anyone noticed or observed if they have been in and out of the hospital/clinic more since being diagnosed with Moya Moya?  I've been in the emergency room so often that the emergency room personnel know me by name or if the don't, they ask didn't I see you in here recently?

It seems that I'm a hypochondriac, I go into see the doctor for every little thing now.  I have a hard time even treating a cold.  My doctor doesn't want to prescribe any medicines that will raise my blood pressure so only thing I take is tylenol. No OTC medications.  I've been really lucky that every time that I have to go in for something I just call my PCP and he will always make a slot for me or take me stand-by.  If I go to the walk-in clinic they will send me straight to the emergency room because they don't know treat this condition.  He has been my PCP for the past 10 - 12 years.  My sister used to be his receptionist/medical assistant before she moved to Maryland.

Has anyone taken anything to relieve cold symptoms?
If so, please let me know...

Thank you,
Jan

Jan,
            Mandy did take Coricidan HBP and did fine and has just started it now again for allergies she takes the cold and cough one it works for her allergys she sneezes all morning and her nose runs like a spicket and this stops it. To my knowledge this is the only thing that does not restrict the vessels. Hope this helps.
