Good morning everyone, clear, crisp and a bit chilly our right now. Rain in the forecast for tomorrow, none for Thursday and some on Friday. Odds are that if it's going to rain, it will be Thursday.
RB, as you well know, all meds have side affects. What gets me though is when you take one med to fix one problem, then another to fix the side affects from the first one.
And worse yet, is the government's decision to cut back on what they pay for some meds. You find one that works just fine, then you find that it's either removed from your insurer's "formulary", or that it's no longer a "preferred" drug and you wind up paying four times as much for it.
There was a Ziggy cartoon strip a while back that shows him reading the side affects on some medicine that he just bought and exclaiming, "but that's what I got this for in the first place!!!!". That's truer than you think, just look at some of the medications for headaches that are out there. I've noticed that on some, the headache meds have one of the side affects listed as..... yeah, you guessed it..... headaches.
