Relora

I am putting this as a separate thread. A separate thread because I wold like specific responses to it, not related to other issues for which one have to do searches within posts. I'm sorry about the inconvenience, I just think it's more straightforward

Any one on this at the moment? Or has been using and discontinued because inefective or had bad experience? Side efffects? Does it work?

___________________________________________

Background on me: If you read all my posts, you will see an undercurrrent of stress. I believe ( I know!) that my bc was the result of a long period of high stress level which just bombarded my immune system. This period was as long as 5 years.

I am going through a similar period now. Now about 1-2 years. And if you were in my position, you would see the pattern.

I am walking, doing yoga, meditation. Getting a regular back massage. On Wellbutrin and klonopin every day; ativan as needed. But the stress still coming. So you see the urgency of the question

And I have not been able to establish a normal life after bc, like going back to work, which was and is important to me. I am also now the part time care giver of my elederly mother, who although not sick, needs to be taken everywhere

I stumbled on relora at the large local natural nutrition center. It is recommended for weight loss because it apparently affects cortisol levels and thus reduces the urge to eat. I dont tend to gain weight under stress too much but the allure of reducing cortisol levels is very attractive to me, even if I loose some weight along the way.

Thank you

Maria
