OK, so here is a little story of what I have stumbled upon, and it probably won't work for everyone, but I imagine some...
Last week my neighbor wanted to borrow my folding table. I couldn't find her number to call her to tell her to pick it up, so I decided I would bring it over. Granted, the...
Since the clinic wants to prescribe me a medication that is normally for depression and anxiety, I though it best to research some supplements as alternatives.
So without posting a link, if you do a search for "Balancing Brain Chemistry
with Peter Smith" you will come to his website. He cuts...
Over the past month I've added some vitamins/supplements sporadically; not daily, but on a fairly regular basis. I'm going to outline what I've taken, and what I've seen improvements in.
Q-nol CoQ10 - 1-2x per week
Solgar B-50 complex - 1x per week
store brand Vitamin D3 1,000mg - apprx. 3-4x...
Thinking back to when I was a child, my mother told me that my father had something, and I remembered it as rheumatoid arthritis. As an adult, it never made sense to me, because my father into his late 70's would walk miles every day, lift things without a problem, never took more than an...
I just wanted to make people aware who don't want drugs/don't get relief from drugs that there are current clinical trials for other therapies: yoga, mediation, devices, etc. If you go to the NIH clinical trials database and type in the search bar fibromyalgia and your state, you can see what's...
While attempting to put the pieces of this fibro puzzle together for myself, licorice came to mind.
I remember reading once that licorice could cause adverse effects in some people: this is according to the University of Maryland Medical Center:
"Licorice with glycyrrhizin may cause serious...
When this started for me, I had headaches all the time. Upon waking, would come on suddenly throughout the day for no particular reason.
They started as "liquid" headaches. For example, if I was lying down on my left side when waking, that's where the headache would be. If I rolled over to the...
I had a cat scan w/contrast done a couple of months ago. For 2 weeks afterwards everything was worse...pain, fatigue, brain fog; I'm still a little worse than before the procedure. I even got the onset of new pain (like I needed that) in my hips. The hair has basically slowed down to almost a...
I see there had been a previous thread about this clinical trial. So supposedly there were positive results (although no results have been posted on the NIH database) and it has been granted fast-track status by the FDA, and phase III is scheduled for 2017.
I don't know how all the pieces fit...
Thinking back to the current clinic I attended, and the one previously, they barely asked any information beyond the usual drug allergies, chronic conditions, smoking/drinking habits, etc.
Their medical history questionnaires didn't ask about any physical routines, food allergies or...
