Exactly. When I realized that the doctors wanted to the disease actually existed, I began to search for alternatives. I credit redhead with helping me to learn about supplements, and that approach has made all the difference in how I function. (Thanks, red!)
I take as few prescription meds as possible because of the side-effects. If one is prescribed for me, I will tell the doctor before I leave the office that I'm not going to use it, as was the case when she prescribed Fosamax. I refused it and was told the alternative was Vitamin D3. So that's what I use. I'll see how well it works at my next bone density screening. :o]
