I don't take a lot of pills, but I have no problem at all with it when something hurts. I do NOT do pain! That is why I might end up going to the doctor. I like to keep something stonger than Anacin and BC around for when I really need it so I don't have to go running to the doctor for every little twinge.
I tried so many different pain pills and finally found one this year that doesn't knock me out AND helps the pain. I am so about legalizing drugs. I've never done any illegal ones, but I think I should be able to take whatever pills I want to. I'm a functioning member of society. It took me two years to find one that works, and that was by accident and not from a doctor. They're so scared of addicts, of getting sued, of who knows, that they give you 20 mg of something weak which doesn't even work. When I've tried 15 other things for the pain, and am still in pain - necessito drogas!
I don't drink, and haven't for five and a half years, so a pill here and there shouldn't hurt me too much.
Oh, and just in case you didn't know, massage therapy is tax deductible under medical. Same with chiro, of course.
And suddenly we're talking about popping pills.
An impossible thread to catch up on.........
