Let's see, not trusting medical professionals? Healthy or not?
My mom was dying of colon cancer. Doctors sent her away saying it was stress. Due to the tumor blocking her bowel, she was rushed to the ER where they found it just in time.

My son developed a serious life threatening illness and they decided to put him on a combo of meds with a tract record for lymphoma. I declined. Later the doctor agreed after reading more medical literature and cut one of the meds from the "safe" list

My mom kept going to the doctors for "nerves". She said she felt like she was going to be a completely different person when she woke up. She was terrified. Doctor gave her Ativan and sent her to see a guy to make sure she wasn't abusing the meds or "drug seeking". She was going nuts. Turned out her colesterol was freaking 1200 and had been for over a year without the doctors caring to call, tell or help. Then thry found she had Graves' disease so killed her thyroid and her sanity returned.

Trusting doctors??? Maybe a healthy skepticism is needed. I'm FAR beyond healthy skepticism though.

If the pills help and cause greater quality of life, keep taking them if it feels right. If it doesn't, talk it over with doctors. I'm hoping there is something that can be done.
