Too much judgment, support one another! We're all individuals with this bp dx no one even discovered what it actually is yet. Lets all be friends and kind. If our friend feels they need the meds or don't need the meds, let them have their path to find their own truth. I was so scared of meds at first, then I tried some that didn't help, then I tried some that pulled me out of hell, then after some time I felt ready to stop and am trying some different things now. Looking back at my path and how much change and growth, anything is possible, I may choose meds again or I may not. This is my path and journey, we all have our own. I support each of you in your choice of meds or no meds, it is your personal decision and experience. Do whatever seems to help you and more power to you, the bp path is not an easy one.
