I am new to these forums. After ten nightmare years of dealing with "traditional" medicine - here take this antibiotic or this antidepressant, I decided to take back my life. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, IBS, obesity, a chronically recurring abdominal hernia, plantar fasciitis, osteoarthritis,depression, and anxiety. I am currently unable to work and fortunately was approved for an LTD leave through my employer and insurance. I am ONLY 48, and I don't want to live like this!
