I can't wait to jump out of bed in the morning. The colors and sounds of life are incredible and invoke deep emotions within my heart.
The doctors approach is to give me the endorphin tests once a month. The goal is to keep my endorphins within a certain range. Medication will be adjusted based on test results.
We spoke of the ldn test and the doctor became very distraught. He said didn't doctors who use this test realize certain brains can no longer or maybe never had the capacity to produce enough endorphins possibly the reason some children suffer form depression.He than heaved a deep sigh and said these doctors have the medicines to relieve our depressions or at least those who are endorphin deficient. His hands trembling he asked why do these doctors continue to use ineffective medicines that at best only partially work.
This man is very passionate about his work. He said he has the means of bringing happiness to the lives of those who are suffering and it is his mission to do so.
He truely is a dedicated doctor and a humanitarian.
Do yourself a favor and find an opiate based psychopharmacologist. Good luck!
