Ulcerative Colitis - In Remission, Saved Thousands
"My ulcerative colitis had gotten so bad, it was really starting to take over my life. My doctor started me on Entyvio infusions, and after almost six months, I still wasn’t feeling any better—just more nauseous and dizzy after each treatment. Then we tried Omvoh, which was even more expensive, and still… no real change. I was starting to lose hope. That’s when my son came across Get a Second Opinion. The report he got recommended a once-a-day pill called Rinvoq. My doctor looked it over and said it was worth a try—and I’m so glad we did. Within just a few weeks, I felt like myself again. No more infusions, no more side effects, and Rinvoq costs about half as much. I finally have my life back."
Fungal Sinusitis - Medication Warning
"Last year, I came down with a stubborn fungal sinus infection. My doctor put me on Itraconazole, but not long after, my liver numbers shot up and I ended up with serious liver damage. They had to switch me over to Posaconazole right away.
Later, while I was looking up allergy meds, I decided to run a report on Second Opinion just out of curiosity. To my surprise, it listed Posaconazole as the top option for someone like me—and even warned against Itraconazole because of the risk of liver damage."
Adult Hormonal Acne - Clear Skin
"Getting acne in my 30s was honestly so frustrating. I kept feeling like people were staring at my face, and it brought back all the insecurities I had in high school. My doctor tried a few topical creams that didn’t help, then put me on Spironolactone. I was nervous about the side effects, but I was desperate. It helped a little, but after seven months the side effects were just too much—and when I stopped, my acne came back even worse.
I was feeling pretty hopeless when I found Get a Second Opinion. The report recommended something I’d never heard of called Acanya gel. My doctor didn’t think it would work for me and wanted me to go back on Spironolactone, but agreed to let me try it. I’m so glad I pushed for it. Within a few weeks, I noticed real improvement, and in two months, my skin was completely clear and had no side effects! I finally feel comfortable in my own skin again. This really changed everything for me."
Acid Reflux - Side Effect Eliminated
“I’d been dealing with awful acid reflux for a few years. I was taking medication for it every single day, and still had to be super careful about what I ate—spicy food, late-night snacks, even coffee would set it off. When I ran my medications through Get a Second Opinion, it flagged my cholesterol med—Lipitor—as a possible cause. I had no idea, and neither did my doctor. The report suggested Nexletol as an alternative, which we’d never even heard of. My doctor did some research and said it looked safe, so we gave it a shot. Within a few weeks, the reflux was gone. I was able to stop the reflux meds completely and now I can eat what I want again without paying for it later."
Post-Nasal Drip - Symptom-Free for Months
"I was suffering with a congested nose and sore throat due to post-nasal drip for years. My doctors kept trying different prescription-strength nasal sprays and allergy pills, yet nothing made a difference. These prescriptions only gave me terrible side effects like kidney problems and depression. I almost gave up on ever feeling like myself again. Then, I ran one of the prescribed meds (Azelastine nasal spray) through Get a Second Opinion and was surprised by the result. It recommended me a new over-the-counter spray with fewer side effects. My doctor never heard of this product, so she was just as surprised. This nasal spray actually helped to clear my congestion and post-nasal drip. For the first time in years, I’ve now gone several months without any nose or throat issues. I’m so grateful that I found this service, now I can go back to normal life instead of constant symptom management and monthly doctor visits."
