hi,

 

i just joined this group today, and have been going thru the

archives. i'd like to say that just in the short time i've been a

part of this group, i've found so much helpful information.

 

i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia-cfs, and have depression.

 

i avoid regular rx meds because i've had so many negative effects as

a result of them. i've been put on many anti-depressants, and

painkillers only to wind up feeling worse.

 

natural medicines-herbs, naturopathy, homeopathy, etc. is something

i've been interested in for about 2 years now.

 

i'm 24 and live in eastern pa, by the way.

 

when i recently visited my dr. the best thing he has done for me was

to do osteopathic manipulation on my entire spine. that was better

than all the painkillers and antidepressants i've been put on

combined. it released all the pent up endorphins in my body and

this was on the 12th. my friend who was with me said i looked like

i was in nirvana.

 

the one thing that saddens me is that medical assistance (i'm on the

welfare program till i get disability/ssi) is that they refuse to

pay for any treatments like herbs, vitamins, and other naturopathic

and homeopathic treatments for my body.

 

that just irks me.

 

torpedo los!
