I've started seeing a naturopath. It's been almost 2 weeks. Why? Because i t will take 4 to 6 months to get an appointment with the rheumatologist. I can't just lay here and wait! I have a life, however limited, to live!
My naturopath is very clinical. She's not hippy dippy at all. She doesn't push products, or try to get me off of the pharmaceuticals I'm currently on.
My family physician has warned me to be cautious, but he is willing to pass on my lab tests to her so they are both on the same page.
I have seen an improvement in my energy levels. It feels as though I am approaching my old level of coping. The goal is to get beyond coping and try to function as close to a normal level as possible. I don't think things are ever going to be the same again. I do have an inflammatory disease. It won't go away but I would like to have the ability to be out of bed for more than an hour without getting so tired I feel as though I'm gonna throw up.
