Lifestyle Management Handouts

**Please note: none of these take the place of advice from your doctor. In many cases, headaches, neuropathic pain, insomnia, imbalance, or leg cramps can be the sign of another illness, and you should be seen by a neurologist to be appropriately diagnosed before you try any treatments, natural or otherwise, on your own. Additionally, depending on your age, medical conditions, and other risk factors, your doctor may choose medication instead of, or in addition to, some of these lifestyle changes.

General Medical Advice

The following are websites that review alternative medicine's evidence, exposing some treatments that have been touted inappropriately as helpful. Some of these are dangerous, some just offer false hope. Remember to always read about attractive "complementary," "functional" or "alternative" practices with as much skepticism as you would approach your medical doctor! Ask about risks. Ask about benefits. Ask about research studies. Read reputable sources, preferably peer-reviewed.
