I was at deaths door in 2007 and I blamed it on the medications I was on and the ignorounce of Drs Because they didn't listen to me . Sometimes the side effects are worse then the illness. I'm not saying all drs. but what I am saying could have happened to anyone I gained 50 lbs on Lyrica I have GP ,sleep apnea, depression, Bipolar, fibromyalgia, arthitis, ibs,irriable bladder. I mean I did. I was having servere diarea and pain nausea. Prescribed pain pills, ambian for sleep, flexiril for muscle spasams , cymbalta for depression, and so on not on that but supplements as well . Well my body was shutting down .I was in and out of hospitals, placed on more medications went from 173 lbs to 118 in less then 3 months Placed on feeding tube told I can live this way.I was given trileptal a week before they placed the tube .I was losing my taste, and at that point had no appite having difficulty walking my speech became slurred and the dr said nothing accept continue taking the meds that will pass .I got home a week later I started losing sight in my left eye ,and severe tremors went back to the dr and he said ignore the symtoms they will pass. things weren't improving .I decided to see other drs. No help the side effects were going to disapear maybe by the end of the month don't stop the meds .
Long story short My feeding tube telescoped into the intestines I wasn't given my meds while I was there 5 months later I had the tube removed because I got my appetite back along with my taste and slowly I began to regain my sight and no more tremors and by Aug 08 I danced at my daughters wedding . What I was saying about the meds can happen to anyone If you are taking a great deal of them I know the drs are human but sometimes you have to listen to you gut if something isn't right find another dr . I found a whole other approch to getting well naturally . I am now 111lbs size 4 healthy still take 1 medication for GP but don't need to take it all the time. I know what I am doing isn't a cure but I don't have the meds screwing up my body or my mind any more I found other ways besides the drugs and maybe this will help others try natural I found a company that changed my life and never felt healthier Ask me I will be happy to share the information

Audry,
I am glad to hear that you are doing better a more natural way. Could I ask you what you are doing and what you are taking? I developed terrible ear pain and neck pain. I found out I have arthritis,now, in my neck. I don't know if it is referring to my ear. It has been for several months now. I am in PT. It is not helping much. I don't know what to take for the pain that won't be bad for my stomach or bowels. Any help?

Hi LL1
I take something called flex caps for arthitris also I was told by a friend to take flavored cod live oil I didn't start that yet because the flex caps are working. I work for a company that only sell the best medical grade supplements with exclusive rights no other company has . If you are intrested you can call me and I can place an order for you . 631-271-2633
I take other supplements as well to help with digestive, keeping things runing smooth .also I do a great detox which helps also. Hope some of these ideas help . Audrey

Today I help other people see how important it is to take care of yourself and put the right nutrients into your body. I don't see my Doctors every other week. I see them maybe every 6 months. I believe that finding the right Doctors are important ,But they have to be open to suggestions .Digestive issues not all but alot of them can be helped naturally also. I feel the longer on the medications the more harmful it has to cause further damage. I think because all of the side effects can effect each person differently.The doctors weren't trained to teach you about vitamins they know cut and pills . If you look today you will see more and more places offering healthier more natural ways verses medication .Because all you see on tv is check with your doctor before taking this medication or that medication because there are servere side effects. I am just saying that there are other ways. I did a great deal of research well I was recovering.

What are flexcaps. Are they over the counter. Do they interfere with bowel movement and stomach movement?

Audrey, you are so right. You will see a post that I sent last week addressing the same problem. I went into cardiac and respiratory arrest two weeks ago. My husband had to do CPR until the medics came. The ER physician told me I was 1 second from death. The cause was medications...one doctor added a new medicine to my already substantial list and told me if I was really bad to take 2 tabs rather than one. He had a list of my current medications and still gave me the new one. It's not like I took a huge overdose of meds. It took only one or two pills to almost kill me.
