I am inclined to agree that the natural path is the best way to go...and that is the way I am targeting. However, I have tried some of their ways and have not received much relief. Acupuncture does not work for me but massages work. Pain medications don't work but a variety of massages work. Each person needs to map out what works and what does not work for them. I too have had thousands of dollars worth of tests and medications over many years. I now need to go through prior authorizations through my insurance company to get treatments and medications to keep me stable. I micromanage my care only because I am so fragile.
I am glad your VD Doc was able to help you. He has been able to help you gain your full self and it's worth every step of the way.
