I use arnica gel on all major bruises. Smacked my shin on my dishwasher door & had a huge lump on it. Put the arnica gel on it & I could actually watch the swelling of the lump come down. That was so strange to see. I don't take any meds so no interactions but I have such bad reactions to so many things & stay away from many natural things too.
Used Mullein tea for congestion & xylitol for a sore throat. I would never use stinging nettle because I got into it in a field behind my farm a few years ago on the back of my hand & by the end of the day my whole hand & arm were swollen like a balloon. I have so many bad reactions to things I am the kind of person who stays away from everything & just tries to let my own body do its thing & just try to eat good

Pain Meds: Side Effects No One Tells You About
Everything has side effects, it seems. I have to take opiates, else I can't sleep and I'd cry all the the time due to pain. My spinal cord is being pressed by bone damage. I see a spine surgeon in March. Sigh. I'm not supposed to take NSAIDS. My gastro doctor specifically told me that. But I've just had to take some because my pain has been so bad. But I can tell the lining of my stomach has been damaged.

Oh, I feel for you. I had lower spine misalignment that was crushing my spinal cord. Caused all kinds of problems that were fixed with the surgery. Before that though I was on fentanyl, and other opioids. I had such nausea that I loss weight and was constipated all the time. I was able to quit the narcotics after my surgery but I now suffer from gastrointestinal problems that I’m sure is from long term side effects of the medication. I know the meds gave me some relief but not enough, it took the surgery to do that.

I just got a flyer about home remedies for seniors. I think I'm going to get the book from ebay. It recommends chocolate for several conditions. Hey, that works for me!

After getting off the pain medication patches years ago, I never go to the MD & when I did I had a bad reaction to the meds. Not an incentive to go to an MD for medical stuff. I want to treat the problem not the symptoms.

The White House is threatening the patents of high-priced drugs developed with taxpayer dollars
Good for them. It seems like the more important or serious a disease is, the more a company charges for it. Seems to me like there's something wrong with this picture. |

If tax payer money goes into the research then the government should be able to state the price limits. The newest form of price gouging is for the drug companies to limit how much they make of old generic s that have been around for decades creating an artificial shortage. These are generics for cancer and other life threatening illnesses and drugs needed for surgery so to force a higher price. This too is unconscionable and needs to be addressed with prison for the ceos who make those decisions.

There are now shortages for some opiates because of all the complaints. Not as many companies are making them. Sigh. It's scary what drug companies do.

I think the multitude and high dose of psych drugs I was on in the past affected my memory along with bipolar episodes

As if it would not be obvious to an obese person without checking the BMI? "Your doctor can help you set a weight loss goal that’s right for you. A healthy diet and regular exercise could help you turn things around." Most of the time, no, they could not.
