GP can't help me

I went to see my GP about 3 things, the first was the lack of sleep.

His reply "There is nothing I can give you with your allergies"

Now that is just great something else to thank Fibro for.

The pain "Again nothing I can do to your allergies to all the pain killers I can give you"

Again just great, no sleep and rip roaring pain 24/7.

Then I asked about my Psoriasis it is noemally mild and is not a real worry, but it was driving me mad. My husband wanted to know if it could be the Meds I take for Colestrol?

Yep you guessed it the one Med he could find and could take with all my allergies I can't take because it make my Psoriasis flare freally badly. One day later my psoriasis was back to normal.What next I ask, I have to take the 2 meds left when I go to bed because they also make me sick in the stomach so laying down is the only way I can take them.

i am waiting to here from a Rumy as that is all my GP can suggest now.

He hopes the Rumy will have some ideas fo me, but until then I live in my own little hell.

It will be sometime next year and cost a fortune.

I am exhaustred but I am going to keep doing things I love ie my volenteering at our churche Foodbank which gives out food hampers to those in need or you can buy them for $25 that gives you over $150 worth of great food stuffs.

My DD said laast night after gettting home at midnight she was tired and sore but helping others was well worth it.

DD told everyone she has started to volenteer as those who do so live 60 percent longer

Hi Kathy,

Are you really allergic to all those meds? I thought I had an awful list, two pages typed small of reactions - but only 1 true allergy. Even so, I can take half of them if I am careful not to mix the ones that interact or take an anti-nausea med with some of the pain killers. I recently started to tolerate Percocet if I take it with food. Sensitivities change.

Cholesterol meds can cause all sorts of reactions. I don't tolerate Lipitor at all, immediate muscle pain, but I can take the smallest dose of Crestor 3 times a week. Familial high cholesterol. Still, Crestor gives me tinnitus. I only have it the day after taking it. My best cholesterol reducer is not eating bread. The liver takes carbs and turns them into cholesterol. Eating a little fat is no problem.

I agree with Almost free - melatonin helps with getting to sleep. I just don't take it all the time, and only 3 mg. If it's not enough, I take half an Ambien. I'll have to read about L-theanine. Never saw that one before.

I hope your rheumy has more to offer.

sherrine, need to ask....

My daughters dog has some sort of "yeast" infection (at least thats what the vet is calling it) and has the awfullest odor about him. He almost smells like he is decaying from the inside out. No matter how often they clean his ears, give him meds or bathe him he still has this god awful odor.

So, your probiotics pricked my curiosty. How much would you give to a 85 lb. german sheppard, how much, how often and what dosage?? It would be wonderful if this could help our poor Orion because he is banned from coming into the main house because of this odor and he is so good and so loveable.

I will google also.....

Hi, just a few things I wanted to add to the good suggestions above:

Flush free niacin is a good supplement to take for cholestral, it's pretty common, Walgreens andy where.

Probiotics are best if you get the kind that's always refrigerated. You can get them in health food stores. The ones in yogurt aren't very strong. My nutritionist has them stocked in her refrigerator. As they get room temperature they start to loose their potency. That's why probiotics sitting out on a shelf at room temp loose their strength. If you notice on the bottles they say have so many billions at time of packaging.

If you are taking a vitamin C supplement take it in the morning as it can affect sleep.
