Just got off the phone with a friend who I was reminding her that the body manufacturers the pain to say that you need more. If one doesn't work, more doesn't make it better.

Just realized while talking to her, that the symptoms I have been having are a result of the new medication I have been given by my doctor. I haven't been able to get into see him, and the staff at the clinic aren't allowed to deal with medication. I am just going to quit it. When I checked it out online, the side affects were the flu symptoms I have been having along with dry mouth, which has started to cause welts on my tongue.

I don't have much faith in doctor's and hospitals, which are understaffed or over booked, so have been looking at alternative medicines. i.e. Drinking cranberry juice or taking cranberry pills are better for me, than going on an antibiotic, which leads to more medication. I can't take anti-inflammatory because of an enlarged kidney.

I prefer to go to nature and my God for the healing, as well as the strength and courage to put up with the pain without taking a narcotic.
