Comments on Drugs: How much do we need?

I always try to cure something with a natural stuff, Drugs are my last solution. But it depends on condition, age and many other stuff. I believe, that many drugs prescribed are not necessary

I've always been sensitive to drugs

If there's a list of nasty side-effects, you can bet that I'll get at least one of them. Knowing this, I've been reluctant to take meds, since they usually end up making me sicker. But I think in the case of serious infections, drugs have their place in the healing process.

If you're uncomfortable or concerned, talk to the doctor, and make him aware of your worries. If he's any kind of doctor at all, he won't have problems explaining everything, and hopefully will be able to put your mind at ease!

Hope you're feeling better soon

Drugs are okay when you are in dire straits, other than that, there are too many side affects

KaBooM, Sorry about your sinus infection.
Every time I get one of those (which I haven't now for about three years) I end up with an ear infection and laryngitis to go along with it.   I guess I don't know if you should take the medicines since I don't know what they are.  But, yes, definitely finish the antibiotic.

I do hope you'll get better soon. As far as the drugs are concerned - while I am ready to give advice on a lot of things, I don't give medical advice since the dumbest doctor has studied more medicine than I have; and I don't give advice on matters of the heart, since they tend to be beyond reason, lol.

Having said that, I do know that some of the ant-biotics, especially penicillin, have lost some of their effectiness, because bacteria are adapting by mutation, which is probably inevitable, however. But you should use up the ones given to you!

As to the uniforms, I would vastly prefer those to the kind currently in vogue in our high schools, 'gangsta'-style jeans with the crotch at about knee level, first 'invented' so kids could hide their guns between their legs...

Kaboom ...Hope you are feeling better soon. I understand about the drugs
Of course some doctors are going to prescribe any kind of drug they might think that help ...then you have other doctors whom will prescribe drugs because of little kickbacks from the druggist..You just never know. Yep, sounds as though your daughter may have a boyfriend.. and the Prussian school outfits..sigh..better than short pants and white shirts with ties I suppose..just ask your son..see if he agrees...ahh the joys of parenthood..lol I really hope you get to feeling better soon. IR
