So on to my next apt.!
I was kind of stressing because it clashed with a pediatric apt. for my kids, so I had to drag them along. Luckily, he's near the shopping center so I sent two of them off with a 20 Euro bill, to get something for breakfast. My middle child was happy sitting in the waiting room, with the iPad, watching gymnastics videos.
He was running really late. He was on his own, without the assistant. So he quickly went through the exam.
I told him, that in principal, I think it's working. The only issue is that the pellets are made with lactose. Normally, that's not really a big deal but it was upsetting my stomach, probably because it has to be taken on an empty stomach.
"It comes in drops, if you don't mind the alcohol." Great. Let's do it.
Then he says something odd. I was thinking to myself, my French must have gotten really rusty after a month in the U.S. I thought he said it was made with snake serum!
Um, what is this? Did you say "snake serum"?
Yes! But in a "homeopathic dose". Yikes!
I'm taking snake serum for menopause symptoms?!?
It's called Lachesis Mutus. The other treatment is Thuya occidentalis, which isn't snake, thank goodness.
Turns out it's a very dangerous snake.
Open mind... Open mind...
But when they gave it to me in drops, it's a whole bottle. It looks more like snake serum than the pellets did.
The Thuya stuff did not come in liquid form but the pharmacist suggested a bigger-pellet version. I was zen with that. It's still lactose but not as much, in principal.
