The required list of awful side affects of those drugs makes me wonder how effective they are are at all. I sometimes feel that they are marketing to the group of people that are always looking for their sickness du jour, then they request a specific drug that was advertised. The everyday lay person has no idea about drug interactions or have training in what might or might not cause them problems due to pre-existing conditions, etc. It just seems that the market consists of MD's or hypochondriacs.

The one that makes me scratch my head is one that we shall name "George". The warning at the end says do not take "George" if you are allergic to "George". Duh! The question is how do you know if you are allergic to "George" until you have taken it? Ah, good old Catch 22!

When it comes down to it, drug manufacturers are all about making money. Guess they think no one pays attention to the side effects that they have to throw in their advertising. They hope that their “cure” will overshadow things like death that the meds can cause.

It has been a crazy year for weather today here in SC t is supposed to be 70 and by Wed and Thur it will be down to 32. Wife hydrangeas are sending out buds and winter isn't here yet.

I didn't notice that you had made that same observation about how one knows until it has already happened part of that commercial. Maybe they are really pushing paying the medical community to test you for allergies. Sorry!

My guess is that you take it and then let the doctor know if you end up in the ER because of it. As someone said, a Catch-22.

I hate taking drugs the side effects all ways seem to be worse than what I am taking the drug for

You're the Jasmine of this thread, please stop sharing your bad habits

We'll start to worry if she starts taking naps on piles of dirty laundry.

If you can be bothered???

I am pretty nonplussed about the last film. The leads just don't grab me like previous movies.
Rey is up there with Kristen Stewart on acting ability so fail to connect.
As for princess kylo, he just seems like a stroppy teen.
May be considered blasphemous but just my two pence.

I am really stuck this year with Christmas.

This is a tough age to buy for!!! Especially when your kid still has never touched a few of his Christmas presents from last year.

I don’t know what to do.
