Re: Pain medication allergy, issues

Rhonda, I have been treated by a homeopathic doctor who is also a certified nutritionist for nearly 7 years now, with the blessing of my G.P. and my oncologist (when I was in active treatment- Herceptin/Tamoxifen/Femara).

I suffered terribly from fibromyalgia, and was taking Lyrica which did help but I wanted to get off it because of side effects. I am taking 2 homeopathic remedies, Rhus Tox and Arnica every day - my fibromyalgia has improved probably 90%. I take other remedies too for various other issues, and let me tell you, I feel much better. I am eating better (do a daily green juice every morning) - many foods cause inflammation which is the source of various ills. I know some people think homeopathy is hocus pocus, but hey, if you've tried everything else (conventional medicine), why not consider it. My homeopathic dr. works with my GP, they consult together about their common patients.

Just a thought.

all the best
