Hi Torrie,

You are very knowledgeable.  I'm glad I came upon this website today.  It was all very happen-stance, starting with my own prescription medication.  I've been noticing I can't take it.  It is causing really bad side effects.  It is weird how it all criss crosses.  I was wondering about a pain medication for my leg.  "PROPOXYPHEN 100mg & ACETAMINOPHEN 650mg.  I had a really bad twist and fall in 12/04.  12/06 I had surgery on my left knew.  I also take Lamictal and generic Xanax for depression and anxiety.  I don't know why, but it seems like six months to a year I start having problems with my psych meds.  I don't know if it is a drug interaction, I don't know if I'm more sensitive to drugs during the heat, what?  The Propoxyphen,Acetaminophen is the only thing working on both my leg/hip pain and my nerves/stress.  I thought it was a little strange.  I began to think I must be allergic and there must be some kind of drug interaction.  It is like the psych meds are causing more pain in my legs, joints and arthritis.  The pain medication with the narcotic (prescription pain medication) began to make me realize that there is a brain(mind), body connection.  Some how, when you turn off my mind or block it, the joints, muscles everything starts to get better, even my very real stress, etc.  But narcotics in the prescription medication is not the way to go, but it made me realize a very important component, and this component can be obtained through holistic medication and not the pharmaceuticals.  Curezone is a wealth of information. 

So just like with my leg.  I'm looking for alternative medications not to just stop the pain but to heal.  I'm also paying very close attention to interactions, whether natural or prescription.  I think with natural holistic approach I will have a much better chance at alleviating both of my problems.

Thank you very much for taking the time to go through this with me.  I will try very hard to help my friend.  At some point they will be going into the hospital.  He has a host of friends that are into this stuff in both of the "bad" ways.  So they have a very $$ vested interest in keeping this going and in denying that there is a problem, that I am the only real problem.  They don't care what this does to people or to the people of this society.

I am very grateful for you assistance and moral support.  Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Nina ~
