Re: 5 years out - Chronic Pain
I had fibromyalgia before BC, it went away during treatment (chemo killed it, according to my homeopathic dr.). Came back after treatment. I have been seeing a homeopathic dr. (okayed by my onc. and now GP) for a number of years, she has gotten me off many meds.
I take two homeopathic remedies for fibro - Rhus Tox and Arnica. Major relief for me. I would highly recommend seeing a homeopathic dr., of course have your onc./GP okay it. My GP has been so impressed with my homeopathic dr., she has sent a number of her patients to her for various reasons that she cannot help with conventional medicine (things like weight loss, help with tapering off anti-depression drugs, etc.)
I also find Epsom salt baths and ibuprofen (occasionally for me) help.
all the best
