Tired of well-meaning suggestions

Posted , 3 users are following.

Don't you all get tired of well-meaning friends saying things like, "Just drink chamomile tea before bed"  "take magnesium for the cramps"  "meditate" and all things that we couldn't possibly have thought of, or tried!  This is a complex syndrome.  If it were easily addressed with a few herbs or tea, I think we all would have figured that out!

    Yes although they mean well. I get annoyed when people say thing like "my legs sometimes twitch" or "I get quite a lot of cramp as well". If you don't have it you don't understand it!

    I agree, another is have your iron levels checked,   One thing this site is helping me with is to understand how many people are suffering and always hoping for some new ideas.
