sick of being sick

I haven't written in here for a long time. I've been feeling bad. Although the numbness/tingling/pain in my feet and legs has subsided a great deal, I am unfortunately now going slowly blind in my left eye. I credit this bad health to the failing Medicare system and their horrendous $3600 out of pocket HELL they are putting me through. I had no

*Hugs* I'd been wondering what you were up to...

If you're interested in a more wholistic approach, with an eye towards eventually resolving at least some of the issues you have, you might find some interesting reading here and here. You can also find some stuff here and here as well.

Have you tried any herbal remedies for whatever the condition is that you're suffering from? I'm starting to believe in holistic medicine alot more than conventional. Our current healthcare system is basically a giant racket run by the pharmacuetical industry. It's totally based on hooking you on some medicine to treat your symptoms rather than actually healing the underlying conditions that are causing your issue in the first place.

I was on Paxil for a while for depression/anxiety but now I'm taking St. John's Wort and it works quite well and there are no side effects.

I also have a friend who has ulcerative colitis. He was going to a regular doctor and they were shooting him up with steroids and treating him with drugs. He got down to about the weight of your average holocaust victim because the doctors were just throwing drugs at him. He went to a holostic doctor and got on some natural remedies and he's tons better.

I've got Multiple Sclerosis. Its an incurable neurological disease where my immune system attacks my central nervous system and brain. It strips the mylein covering off my nerves and then slowly eats at the nerves themselves. Sometimes it can heal itself, sometimes not. Its a very unpredictable disease
