I have been receiving a lot of emails lately asking me for information on dosages of medications to take, how to get rid of side effects, and what to take for different ailments. I also receive many emails with people asking me to diagnose their symptoms. I love receiving emails from my readers, but I have stated many times that I am not a physician and I cannot give medical advice like that. I wouldn’t even know where to begin with some of the questions I am getting. I always recommend that you contact your physician with any questions related to medications and side effects and symptoms. I wish I were able to help with those issues but I am not qualified to do so.
As I worked in a hospital for 17 years and I also help run a local online
Support Group for local folks with ME/CFS the advise we usually give
since MOST Dr’s don’t know MORE than we do..is to:
1) Join a Local Support Group,
2) Join an online Forum for your illness to see how others are handling their problems,
3) Couch ANY other advise with “All I can tell you is what I would do IF it were ME”
cuz as you say, you don’t know their History, etc ,etc, etc.
I have learned ALOT on forums from around the world and even
IMPRESSED my DR. with enough info that they then had needed info
to take the next step to help me..
Best Wishes to Everyone
