@susangs I often mention alternatives I have found through research, friends, family and other sources. It opens the discussion and helps me understand why we are using the treatment plan that we are using. Over time my physicians have come to expect this of me. If your physician objects to you becoming as familiar as possible with your situation, the are not the right physician for you. He/she is not a god, nor should you follow them as one. At best you and your physician become a coordinated team looking for the best care for your continuance. Courage and blessings to you.

@susangs Hi Welcome to connect we care for each other and there problems I am in full agreement with 2011panc@ I use herbs,vitamins and other holistic items like the Tens unit . If your Dr. cant accept this maybe you need to find a new Dr. I'm glad mine does and is very helpful with her knowledge of herbals, vitamins . I have fibro along with the fog and I did research as you I told my Dr.. that the fibro group and research lab recommended more magnesium she was fine with it and keeps a check on my magnesium count in lab work . I'm taking 600 mg and it is still within limits. So as your doing advocate for your own health . You know your body
