Lots of times the side effects are worse than whatthey’re suppose to help you for.

This sort of thing is actually fairly typical, in part because the body may over-react to a drug. So, a painkilling drug might put you in more pain if your body overreacts to it.

Have you noticed now fast they say “or death may occur” in drug commercials?

Placebos have the least side effects and you can take them with alcohol..

Ah, yes…better living thru chemistry

the cure IS worse than the disease

I have fibromyalgia and other related disorders, and yes, I go through this decision process all the time.

I once worked with a man that has a blood disease, the only effect seems to be it makes his toenails white. He told me that when he asked the Doctor about it the Doctor said, “I have a pill that will cure you in 3 months, trouble is, it will give you diarrhea for 6 months.”

His answer was. “I’ll keep the white toenails.”

If he quits drinking he might get better

to quote mash: A pound of pervention for an ounce of cure

Try cannabis. The only side effect is the munchies.

@AshburnStadiumExcept lung cancer and brain damage!

“I said doc-tor is there nothing I can take?”(he said)“Put The Lime In The Coconut And Drink It All Up”“Put The Lime In The Coconut And Call Me In The Morning”

“But don’t worry, we have medicines to treat the side-effects and medicines to treat their side-effects and with luck, I’ll be providing you medicine for the rest of you life because you won’t realize the initial problem has ended.”

leave your disease alone
