PrintableBobGeorge909 said: The only med I regularly take is called Remicade. It's an infusion(via IV) every 60 days. It's for my Crohn's Disease. It really cuts down on the inflamation which causes A LOT of pain. I do smoke the occasional joint/bowl. Maybe like how often as others may Drink...probably less. I have dabbled in other things....but I'm just too old for that shit now...it's hard work and I'm lazy...I'll leave it to the youngin's...if they so desire.
Also...I'm not scared of the occasional pain pill if something is bothering, but I'm careful with those to a degree...have had problems in the past. Me and pain just DON'T get along. And yes....Remicade does have it's side effects...but they are by far outweighed by the good. It causes my immune system to be impaired...so I could get sick easily...but if I just stay away from ill people...it's usually all good. The weakened immune system did cause me to get get shingles once....That sucked BAD...but my tummy was feeling great...the shigles eventually went away and my tummy is still feeling great. So, there are side effects, but they are worth the trade. [Edited 7/28/05 10:33am] How do you find the Remicade treatment? My mum has arthritis and may be going down that route pretty soon. If you rather talk privately then orgnote me. If you don't want to discuss it at all, I appreciate that. I'll leave graffiti where you've never been kissed | |

So do what you will, just know the side effects are present for a reason and they do damage. whap! I don't eat dairy. Except the occasional bit of cheese and occasionally being too weak to refuse a banana split. I usually use soy cheese now, at that.

I did away with Dairy, that is what I meant to say....that did away with all the mucous in my body. Sorry folks...typing and thinking way too fast! My Bad! Whap Lola....good keen eye!

I remember arguing with my doctor after I had a surgery about pain meds. I made them take the i.v. out and I refused the meds. The only meds we have in my house are for my daughters allergies. We don't even have asprin in the house. I commend you on your own values, but why haven't you done so for Syd? see my posts on allergies baby! Whap!

You probably "are" lactose intolerant as Cow Milk is for fucking Cows..not humans, but since there are farmers out there struggling and the government fooling you into believing cow milk is good for you, you will continue to struggle with the fact that ingesting it is necessary. I was young when I'd have bad stomach aches after eating cereal, and in the early seventies there was no such words as lactose intolerant, but the signs were evident and still are in alot of people. So instead of telling you why lactose intolerance occurs...the government will quickly just do the research and prescribe a med that, like I stated earlier, has far more money making potential than simply telling you the truth of the matter.

Okay, Tom Cruise...
"Alternatives" like exercise and vitamins, right? Sometimes, people need to take meds to keep from dying. And if not dying means feeling nauseous...well, isn't the choice obvious? Now go back to sucking cock and pretending to be Katie Holmes' man. | |

DexMSR said: DexMSR said: Hell Yeah!!! This is the BEST POST ON THIS DAMN THREAD!!!! Have a wonderful weekend people! I've had depression, I've taken antidepressants, and as far as I'm concerned Tom Cruise can stick his opinions up his arse!! When you've hit rock bottom, you need something to bring yourself back up and antidepressants helped me immensely. Granted there are some side effects but at the time they only made me feel one millionth as lousy as being depressed did. I exercise, eat a healthy balanced diet, have a really good life on the whole so to this day I can't pinpoint what made me depressed. I'll leave graffiti where you've never been kissed | |

DexMSR said: Ahem..."Side effects may include:
Nausea Headache Diarrhea Increased Blood Pressure Drowsiness Gas Dizziness Stomach Pain Coughing Wheezing Itchiness Rash But you will still take the plethora of over the counter and prescription meds when you "know" it is doing something ELSE to your bodies!! Why???? Now if you need a certain med for serious pain or discomfort, do what you must, but there ARE alternatives. Is this in reference to my telling you about the two Paracetamols I took to take care of my headache that caused me to feel naucious? LOL!  | |

You're not dealing with an amateur. You're dealing with a girl who shops at Wild Oats. I am willing to bet your allergy is nowhere NEAR mine and I have let all that shit go! Breathing well everyday shorty! Whap! Depends. If an allergy makes you snot-filled and hive-y, then changing diet and certain lifestyle habits can do a world of good. If your allergy can kill you (like many of mine) nothing will change that. No vegan diet, no holistic alternatives, nothing. Just staying the hell away from the allergen and taking adrenaline through a needle (Epi-pens! whee!  )prescribed by the doctor.
Tell me to take more vitamins...*grumble grumble*....sure, if you feel like driving me to the emergency ward. [Edited 7/29/05 3:57am] "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |
