ARE YOU MEDS MAKING YOU ILL?
Lyrica - Cymbalta - Savella - Tramadol - Diazepam - Amitriptyline - Citalopram - Naproxen
Above is a just a few of the medications you are likely to be prescribed if you suffer from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Rheumatism. If you are a member of a Facebook forum you will be very familiar with the conversations around medication comparisons. I have read countless posts on whether Cymbalta is better for pain than Amitriptyline, etc? Or, what medication is used to treat the side effects for Tramadol or Lyrica. However, what the conversation usually boils down to is that said medication worked for a period of time and then stopped, or the side effects were to much to bear.
HOW CAN I TREAT THESE SIDE EFFECTS THROUGH MY DOCTOR?
With more medications I'm afraid. NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin have been documented to cause chronic stomach upset which include bleeding ulcers and heartburn. Its not enough to be in constant pain, but to have prescribed medications that are expected to relieve such symptoms then to cause more discomfort, can leave the patient feeling defeated and without hope. Hence the depression and anxiety set in further.
WHAT HOPE DO I HAVE?
Drugs are not the only solution, but you will have to put the work in. Homeopathic medicine can help to not only detoxify your medication overload, but also address your common (muscle pain, headaches, stiffness) and unusual symptoms (rashes, vision problems, jaw pain) that only you may experience. The key is to treat you as an individual, not your disease. Everyone experiences their illness differently, so why should you be treated with the same medications as the next person?
MY SOLUTION FOR YOU
My appointments will include homeopathic prescribing for detoxification, physical symptoms and depression and anxiety - treating your mental health is a major factor in tackling these systemic disorders. Homeopathy treats the individual with bespoke medications that are aimed at treating you and your individual need. I also advise on beneficial supplements (vitamin), diet changes, physical activities (yoga and stretching is a must) and life-coaching to help you manage and cope with your pain and fatigue.
