Tyrel Cody Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Because some people listen to doctors without asking any questions or doing any research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 If you investigated the side effects and potential dangers of prescription drugs, you wouldn't take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 My late mother-in-law was in the cancer ICU. When someone came in to discuss her treatment she always said I could stay (any other visitor would be sent out (son, daughter husband). When the nurse read off the possible Side effects of the treatment, she usually said “I have those already“. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 In desert storm the army feared we would be hit with nerve agent gas, so their solution was to give us nerve agent antidote pills that gave us the symptoms of nerve agent gas so our bodies would build immunity. While we were sent to the front , some of the men were left to await the ships off loading our vehicles. They were attacked by scud missiles so they took their nerve agent pills first. One of them was one of my men, a 19 year old wrestler etc. By the time he got to the line with the vehicles, he had a kidney infection. Not normal. Nerve agent gas causes uncontrolled urination. Once I began to be forced to take mine by the 1lt. I developed stomach problems, also something nerve agents do to you. Then I got a massive rash, like shingles. A buddy if mine developed dysentery and was hospitalized. Many others got sick. All because they wanted to give us symptoms of something that MAY happen, so we could build immunity, as if it would have worked. Btw, the symptoms are still there 30 years later.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I'm allergic to Codeine. I tell my doctors that I won't take codeine. Its effects are worse than whatever I got. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Because the phe pharmaceutical compounds will treat the underlying cause of the symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Seems the older I get, the more I suffer from seasonal allergies. Starts with oak and cedar pollen in the spring to rag weed and whatever else is pollinating. I tried taking off the shelf antihistamine but, while it relieves my allergy symptoms, it leaves me feeling like crap. Our youngest is a nurse and also suffers from respiratory problems. He takes a more powerful non-prescription drug and recommended I try it. Also works but makes me sick. So I just suffer through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda sounds like what is happening to the private sector today, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
