depression treatment alternative

I've recently been diagnosed with Graves. Unfortunately I don't have insurance and can't afford it. I'm stuck with a doctor whom I don't feel has my best interest at heart. My last visit with my PA (who pointed out concerns that prompted testing) I was told my levels were low, the same day, saw my endo doc and she tells me (from same lab results, that my levels were normal) and immediately suggested removal as soon as possible.

I know that nothing is guaranteed, but from what others have told me about the standard treatment (Interf/Riba.) it seems like this treatment would be a living nightmare. What about the new study out of Mass. Univ. (2/08) that suggests grapefruit (narengin extract) may help to cure this disease? Does Milk Thistle help to reduce the symptoms? I have developed Angiomas on my lower leg, and I have bad headaches. Are these symptoms of the disease, and has this happened to anyone else?

I asked the doctor there whether I should seek an alternative treatment,like going to see an neurologist for further treatment,but they always say that the solution lies in taking these medicine from the Institution.I have practically exhausted all the medications(Prozac,Flufoxamine,Lexapro,Tricyclics) but they all work the same.I am sick and frustrated,Can you please enlighten me on this issue?

What can I say? Here I am with much improved eyesight. I have gotten to the stage where I can read, with difficulty, normal type without glasses. I can't even remember when I was last able to do that. There are not many trials, and certainly not large ones, for alternative medicine remedies (and I consider "alternative" a misnomer). As you and I know it is because there is no money to fund them. So people do as I do. We try them out if they seem reasonable. I hit it lucky.

I have been taking prozac and klonopin for depression and anxiety. Other than this two medications, is there anything else (like supplement) can I ask the doctor? Thanks for your advice in advance.

s causing her to have sleepless nights, trouble moving and depression, causing weight gain (obviously making it worse). It feels like a vicious circle. Her GP keeps putting meds down her neck and they're not working. I was hoping that someone could offer some advice or suggestions to help her out. I am looking for maybe some alternative remedies or something that could help ease her pain, it's becoming hard to watch and not be able to help. Anything helps.

His early work led to the use of niacin for schizophrenia and as an cholesterol treatment. Dr. Hoffer died in 2009 at the age of 91, but he successfully treated many thousands of patients with high dose niacin for psychotic disorders. He presented some very compelling evidence to support treating most psychotic disorders as a vitamin B3 deficiency.

I'm looking for any type of foods or drinks that help combat depression and any natural ways to combat depression as well. What vitamins, minerals, supplements help combat and help fight depression? Thanks!

They are very similar and have same symptoms. Manic depression is hyperactivity. And depression is inattentive or withdrawal from interests. Start prescribing the adhd meds for depression or inattentive attention disorder, and, mood stabilization meds for maniac disorders or hyperactivity and leave psychotherapy for environmental issues and coping skills for change.

Its an old treatment for afib but I found beta-blockers worked well, its just that I like hill-walking and the two don't go together too well. I'm going to seek a consultation to change meds - perhaps even revert to Beta-blockers. I hope you get sorted too.

As far as I know, Colchicine is prescribed to treat gouty arthritis. Myers Cocktail has been used to treat everything from clinical depression to hyperthyroidism. Who treated you? A doctor or an 'alternative' medicine 'practitioner'? I don't know what you mean by "UV treatment". Perhaps 'UV phototherapy' or 'ultra-violet light water therapy'.

ve had a problem it takes a month of natural treatment to fix it. But since everyone is different, some people get better with one treatment and others never get better from a particular treatment. I'd say, don't have specific expectations, just give it a good shot and hope for the best. Meaning, what others have experienced won't really have much meaning for you individually.

I contracted hep c from blood transfusion in 1976 when I had my daughter. I was not aware until receiving a letter from the red cross. I went at that to my regular Dr who said it was probably a false positive and thought it would be a waste of money and time to run the test. I let it go until 2000 when my fatigue level was so high. We had moved so went to a different doctor.

Warning to newbies, there are and always will be scumbags that that post here selling false hopes for a profit or by caring innocent people to reinforce their beliefs. Keep in mind that we have damaged livers and almost everything we put in our bodies is processed through our livers. If there was an easy way around treatment, we would all be cured.

How do other people deal with the pain of arthritis. I have had treatment from an osteopath, and a physiotherapist. I do exercises I have been given by my doctor and the physiotherapist. I take pain killers every four hours as instructed. I keep mobile as best I can. I have just ordered some gel that is supposed to help with osteoarthritis pain. I can't get my head around the fact that at 73, I may have to live with this pain for the rest of my life. I was always active.

Homeopathy is not supported by science therefore the redirection to the Alternatives Therapies forum with higher chances of having people with experiences in homeopathic remedies.
