I can't lie- I've dreamt of doing what you're doing so many times. Mine includes just running away so I don't have to deal with anyone. While I know my family would care, I realized the only person that would hurt is me.

Please re-think the strategy. Find another p-doc who will recommend a natural alternative to meds. Go to one and if he/she doesn't agree with that strategy- just find another. Maybe your general practitioner will help...
