Someone[s] stepped on my sore toes. I have been trying to educate people around me to use the term "medication" instead of drug, because I think of drugs as a substance that can be obtained illegally, and they are not an option for me.
I can see that the trouble with side effects, and with non-effectiveness is extremely discouraging. I have had many, also, but I would not be functional at all without the meds I take.
I have an excellent pdoc who is recently trained in pharmocology and knows the function of the body and the meds she prescribes. I can ask her a question, and she sits there with no reference material and tells me the whole process of action, right down to the mitochondria of the cell. Unfortunately, Her kind is all too rare. Please don't discourage the ones of us who believe in medication-belief is part of it's work. UP'DOWN
