Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Its awesome that you recognize your body's limitations to manage discomfort on its own. My mother would suffer through 2 days of migraines because she didn't want to take anything for it. Luckily, I am med free for the most part, but I do have neck and back injuries from my youth that are troubling. I find myself waiting until I can't take another moment before taking Ibuprofen, but it sooooo helps, and sooo worth it at the time.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I know what I was talking about was the fact that my mom would take one pill for something that would slightly raise her blood pressure and then she'd have to take something else for that..etc. I do realize that if diet and exercise don't take care od the problem, then pharmaceuticals is the way to go. I am a firm believer in vaccines. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 It's a bummer, isn't it. They make these medications with no thought to side effects. My husband and I always shake our heads during the commercials because the list of side effects FAR surpasses that of the actual illness the medication is treating.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I saw an ad last night for some sleep aid and one of the side effects was drowziness. It sounded like a Stephen Wright joke lol. Peace, Diane , " Kerri L-J " <kdljones wrote: > > It's a bummer, isn't it. They make these medications with no thought to > side effects.
