In the past, when I could take medication and did take it - my doctors had the tendency to add one drug after another until I was on many things at once.
I was often on seven meds at the same time, and once when really sick with multiple issues, I had a grand total of thirteen medications.
Now I am allergic to any type of drug or synthetic chemical to the point of risking fatal reactions to anything, so I haven't been able to take drugs for about thirteen years for anything.
What I have been told by my doctor is that my liver and immune system just couldn't take years of all these medications, or process them. And now the allergies are so severe that I am afraid to ever end up in the hospital or an emergency situation where something might be given to me. I'm also allergic to corn now, which is in every medication and iv meds too.
I don't think all doctors think of the long term affect of these drugs. They are chemicals, and strong substances that our bodies have to deal with.
I am finding relief and help with herbal medicine especially and at least for me I don't have the side effects with them. It's taken years of study to figure out how best to treat everything without using drugs and turning to alternatives, but I am managing it.
I think obviously, that the least amount of medication one can use........the better.
Love,
jnanda
