In reply to Was Told To Take No More Meds From Someone In, posted by Phillipa on July 29, 2010, at 13:52:11
It is impossible to come to peace with the damage from Lyme and a lifetime of being on meds. Well, you can come to a place of spiritual peace about it, sure. But in terms of day to day living, no, you have to utilize every tool you can find that improves quality of life. Whether that be meds, plants, foods, herbs, hormones, whatever. The body has amazing ability to adjust, so with a slow careful wean you could indeed ditch your meds. Maybe a good idea, maybe not. But for sure, I doubt seriously you would be able to function without some kind of replacement. Actually a replacement would probably be a good idea. But to go without any assistance at all? That person sounds maybe more mentally unstable than some of us. LOL.
