"natural treatment?? red yeast rice
Dear Mrs D.
Thanks for your response. You are always so kind to help and point out things I am unaware of. I don't know what you mean that the use of hydrocortisone puts me in the category of "natural treatment".
My MD who is also a naturapathic Dr. put me on the red yeast rice because my cholesterol is in the high 300's and also sometimes in the 400's. (1800mg per day). To be honest I don't always take that much .Also prescribed 2400mg. of niacin. I recently heard nicain is hard on your liver. I mentioned that to him but he said this brand was OK. Same for the niacin - don't take that much as prescribed. The dosages kind of scared me. Another naturapath told me to forget the niacin and r.y.r and take cod liver oil for cholesterol. My cholesterol has been in the 300's for over 10+ years.
I'll try the hydrocortisone for pain and see if it works for the pain of FM and RSD. I read the links you provided. Thanks so much
Sydney
