Evening ladies,
It’s been suggested to me to try a homeopathic remedy to help alleviate the effects of the R/T, the fatigue is starting to drag me down a little.
Has anyone any experience of taking any homeopathic remedies during treatment? What did you try? Was it successful?
I’ve taken remedies in the past for stress/depression and they helped me a lot but to me this is completely different and not sure if I should mess with things while I’m going through treatment.
Thoughts?
Hey Chellby,
I've tried a couple of things while going through treatment. There's no harm in looking for complimentary therapies that you can add in to whatever the Dr's are doing. Anything that works must be a plus right?
HOWEVER....
And it's a big however....
You MUST speak to your team before you try anything. There are lots of homeopathic remedies that actually interfere with the treatments you're being given. The last thing you want is to take something homeopathic that then stops your proper treatment from working. The most famous one that plays havoc with most everything is St John's Wort.
So yes, look into things, and if you then find something you want to try then drop an email or make a call to see if it's OK for you to take with everything else.
Best of luck!
Lass
