We always talked about stuff going on, which is probably why they had always scheduled my appointments near the end of the day so he had more time to talk with me. With the med thing, I always look up drug interactions, effects, etc. before I take anything. My experience with medications are hit and miss most times, so I always check for the rare and strange effects before I take anything. I'm always willing to see if it will make stuff better, but if it makes me worse - I always let him know.

Given my track record, was surprised at the reaction I had to the refusal of Ty - but crossing fingers the new guy will look at LDN as a possibility.

As to the alternative stuff, that's a hit and miss thing too. Good diet and exercise is always important. Plenty of water. I've taken some supplements and had some weird effects to those too. Even nature seems out to get me, lol! But that's mainly due to the IBS I have.

My mom did try for a long time a mix of vinegar and real honey every morning. I think it was equal parts in a shot glass. She swore by it to help with digestion, but I could never get myself to try it.
