MODERATORS
Went to hospital with the flu around toddler / infant age, ended up with chicken pox which showed up down my throat as well. My father mentioned a few times that I came back as a different kid. I can remember being in a crib scratching my back on the rails.
Minor puffiness on my wrist with tendon pain (not conventional tendonitis). Prescribed Naproxen which killed my stomach leaving me in horrible pain. -Prescribed Vioxx and made it worse. Ended up on prescription ant-acids that cause stomach cancer, and I believe Vioxx was removed from the market for causing deaths from heart related issues. The puffiness didn't go away and wasn't near as threatening.
Paxil for depression - Made me extremely irritable and prone to violence (like wanting to kill people over stupid shit). -Could have landed me in prison (a person that's often cited as not having a violent bone in their body).
Blood pressure medicine when I should have been counseled about drinking daily and other avoidable causes. -It's risky stopping them, and they kept losing efficacy while eventually causing edema.
Wisdom teeth removal is over-prescribed and not plugging the holes left from it causes bone loss (or the main reason people lose their teeth).
Maybe I've had enough experience.
