Presently existing on side effects caused by medications to handle afib quality of life miserable at best unending quests for Dr's. Who will listen enough to help than just write more prescriptions not all drugs regardless of percentile of tolerability for everyone have seen one person diagnosed with dementia put in home started removing meds started remembering people could walk have pertinent discussions write I believe she was 92 yrs. Old I'm 67 short memory loss loss of vision rashes feels like hands getting arthritis maybe gout in foot could write book year ago upset went off meds symptoms went away not advising anyone to do that maybe could be fatal I had to know went back on meds symptoms back if I keep body alive long enough maybe will find doctor paid enough with time enough to do what my body needs to minimize side effects and allow me to continue being an addition to world rather than a hinderance

I believe in getting info on my health problems and to get rid of the root cause, not mask with drugs and then have as bad or worse problems. Have been doing this since age 21 and now 76. You mentioned rashes. I have discovered for my exzema or psoriasis or just plain itching like a crazy person, the following helps.
If you eliminate refined sugar, too many fruits, anything containing wheat, and dairy, Chocolate.
Eliminating foods you love takes commitment as they are addictive. But when you can't sleep for hours some nights, or miserable in the day, you decide to choose health instead of something very yummy going down the hatch for a few minutes of pleasure. No cream or med does anything but make pharma rich and stealk your money.
