Hey, @derangedvisions.
I hope you get all you want from this new path with fewer drugs and more of a a natural take.
I have not had any personal experience as you have with such medicines, but I have the example of my mother and a man I know who both were being given different things that in combination probably overdosed them with certain elements. The man the last I saw him was doing much better after insisting he be taken off most of his. My mother ended up passing away (she was 80 and there were other physical ailments, so not quite the same). She was not herself when she died, and I wonder how much of that could be contributed to the meds she was on.
Hi @glenalbrethsen hope you are doing good, its been a while didn't saw your post. Hope you are also staying home and safe from the spreading virus.
Take care.
Hey, @praditya.
I am doing okay. I have some congestion but that tends to happen around this time of year when we're changing seasons, so I'm not sure what it is exactly. Don't have any other symptoms, so for now, I think I'm doing okay.
I've been going out here and there just to see what's going on and there aren't that many people around, other than at the stores, which seem to be slammed every time I go by. My wife does most of the shopping so she's been in and out of them lately.
Other than that, I'm hopping between STEEM and HIVE since I've been temporarily laid off.
Oh okay! take care by the way try to stay at home for some time, due to spreading virus around the world, We Indians are officially locked down at our home for next 20 days.
Anyways good luck for future.
I've been feeling like my health has been in decline and I used to be a freak when it came to fitness in the Corps.
Been putting off my lab work since the Coronavirus but know I shouldn't sit on that shit for too long.
My biggest issue is degenerative disc and my connective tissue affecting genetic disorder. Feel like things are starting to fall apart at a rapid rate.
Hopefully, I can stop smoking, eat right and turn things around. Your story is a good testimony as to why it's not a bad idea to get a second opinion.
Thanks for the remind!
I know how you feel about the whole Back issues. I have the back of a 65 yr old man. Hopefully you can get things taken care of. Don’t let the VA poison you like they are me.
It's a very daunting prospect, @derangedvisions. I had a father who died of liver failure. Both his kidneys collapsed and he died. He lived through 12 years of illness. At the end of his days he said that if he had known he was going to die anyway, he would have liked to keep doing everything that gave him pleasure and joy in life. Take care of yourself and surround yourself with love. Greetings
That is sad to hear about your father. I have been living life that way and doing what I can to create memories for my family and to see as much of the world as I can.
I wish you strength and good luck. There was a period in my life I took 12 or more a day and smelled like a pharmacy. At a certain point I quit with all of them and took homeopatic for my main problem (the rest were side effects). Later I needed prednisone and at this moment I do without. Take the time for it and keep in mind one med is better as a box full with all side effects. 💕
I am glad you made it through that period of your life.
Yes, your doctors are trying to kill you.
Quite literally and figuratively.
It is all the rage now to prescribe something when a "patient" shows up on their table. It is more important to treat the "patient" forever than to ever offer a cure.
And further, they do not know what they are talking about.
Your kidneys are made up mostly of fat. Whatever fats you eat.
Bad fats make a kidney that doesn't function.
Good fats make a functioning kidney.
Margarine should be a banned substance.
Most of the "cooking oils" should be pulled from the shelves.
You should start caring for yourself more. and never ever drink alcohol again. I wish you the best of luck.
My father in law went through the same thing only now he waits for his second kidney. The more meds he got at the beginning the more his kidney started to fail. I wish you all the best and I think what you are doing it a good idea.
Oh my gosh, what a story you have, @derangedvisions. I truly hope you can make positive changes and get onto better physical health without compromising mental health! It would be terrible to have to choose between the two. Look into natural medicine as well. There's so much great stuff today - from naturopathic medicine to acupuncture, etc.
Cannabis is gentle (and healing) on the kidneys, and treats PTSD and many other conditions you're talking about here. I hope you seriously consider it. If you need help with information (from anecdotal stories to scientific studies) please let me know. It is even being used to treat alcoholism and the effects of long-term alcohol use, and it is a known neuroprotectant. CBD is great, but a full-spectrum oil (either vaporized or taken with food) would probably be best. Various strains offer various different properties because they contain a different cannabinoid profile. Until prohibition 100 years ago, cannabis was used all through medicine, and was widely known to be safe and effective. We made it illegal for some pretty dastardly reasons. The current wave of legalization is fake, just a government-backed corporate monopoly, with expensive low-quality cannabis. Kinda like they ruined the tobacco industry and made that plant extremely unhealthy and expensive. If you can source it outside the legal regime that would be best, but any amount, from any source, in any form, would probably do your body and mind wonders.
have you looked up some natural remedies for function? I think it might be baking soda but don't quote me on that.
