I'm not a fan of taking a lot of pills, but I use them when I consider medication/herbal remedy necessary. I deemed it necessary today when I was hit by a splitting head ache and was stuck indoors with my kids. And while I still have stiffness in my hands (which I'm hoping is hormonal and not arthritis), I have decided to hold off on taking regular drugs for the problem. I am not ready to make a daily commitment to address the issue.
I am, however, a fan of taking my multivitamin. I feel it fills in the gaps that have been left by my diet.
I was also very dedicated to my prenatal vitamins. But I never took my last one. After 4 years of taking them all through pregnancy and breastfeeding, I was too emotional about taking the last pill. It is still sitting in its container on our vitamin collection tray (a bar tray). I don't think I'll ever be able to take it because it was such an important part of my life for so long. And I don't think I can get rid of it because that will mean saying good bye to that period of my life.
All that said, I am going to look into a herbal pill which apparently helps you chill out a bit. A friend has highly recommended them and I think I'll give it a try. She is the mother of a 2.5 year old and says it has totally calmed her. It's called Calming Complex with Gaba made by Source Naturals and I am going to pick some up next time I'm at Whole Foods. I'll let you know how it goes. It's all about taking the right pills!
