Well, I was under a lot of stress, with no health insurance. That’s why I was taking OTC remedies. I have constant pain ranging from discomfort to bedridden due to neck and back disk problems.
I took Extra Strength Excederin, and tried everything else like it was going out of style. I guzzled Diet Coke for the caffeine to keep going. I bit off more than I could chew, apparently. Then they started issuing warnings about what acetamenophine/ibuprofen can do to your liver. Uh oh, did I mention that I had a few drinks in the evening to unwind and do homework?
So, one morning I felt so bad that I had to turn around and get home. I couldn’t even drive. A couple of years later, I ended up in the emergency room for a very small stroke. I had stopped taking everything, including vitamin supplements around 2001. Large amounts of vitamin C being one of them. Went to the urgent care in 2005. They admitted me to the emergency room.
But I still kept up with that damn Diet Coke.
Last year, I quit all soda and policed my liquor intake.
Someone posted a thread last month about the high cost of medical insurance. I posted a long rant. Check it out under my screen name.
LOL, I think that about covers it...
Ankylosing spondylitis?
