Odd day Monday
My mom went to her doctor yesterday because she still isn't feeling great. He told her it was 'ok' to take the pain pills as needed. He also recommended she see a nerve specialist or whatever they are called. He asked if she was depressed. Wouldn't you be if you hurt all the time?
I think a person hurting should try different alternatives to healing their bodies. Mom had massage therapy for her sciatica and that helped a bit. I was thinking acupuncture and Holistic treatment. I have told her a zillion times that people into herbs say to consume large amounts of garlic. She didn't buy the gel ones. So, if she decides to try something other than the western medicine approach, I think she may find some relief. Herbs have been around a lot longer than meds.
I speak from experience-Milk Thistle helped my elevated liver enzymes restore to normal. I've been taking it for over 3 years.

Tonight I made some little Christmas gifts. I can't list them here as I don't know who reads this blog.
I was a bit depressed when my mom called and said 'she was on her way out.' My brother called me and said mom has always wanted to be the center of attention and was coddled her entire life. As an old lady, she can't handle it because her kids have a life that isn't centered around her. I love her dearly, but she needs to be more thoughtful about remarks she makes.

Hi Dianne! It's hard to convince people to try something other than the meds that the doctors are always trying to shove down everyone's throat. I've been following an herbal/mineral regimen for about 3 1/2 months now and it's the first thing in over 1 1/2 years of listening to the doctor that's helped. The doc says it's utter nonesense but all I know is "it works!"
Don't let your mom get you too upset. Some older people do get very self-involved. I think you're a wonderful, involved, and caring daughter. Don't forget that!

Thanks for your words of encouragement Barbara. I am glad that your herbal/mineral regimen is helping you.
Did you hear about the man in England who had Aids that cured himself with the same kind of herbal therapy? Amazing.
