Re: Can I vent? OT

Jacqui,

St. 's Wort is a natural you might want to try before you go on

scripts. It is not advised if there is a diabetes problem.

It will not put you to sleep and you will not become addicted to it. I

think there is a web site.

PS Jacqui,

I do hope you in the south are not going to get another storm. My

prayers are with you.

And also MDs really need to figure something out. THey are doing less

and less and charging more and more.

Fustration!!

Jacqui, get yourself some calcium or calcium and magnesium. I've

found that it has a very good effect on blood pressure. However if you

start getting meds for your bp, do be sure to stop taking it because it can

intensify the effects.

In my opinion you can vent here any time you need. I know I have.

I agree t hat you need a new doctor. You might not find one that knows about

LBD but I am sure you can find one who will listen to your concerns.

I hope you know that we are all here for you in any way we can.
