Pain is mine - decision to stop pain is also mine.
I take about 50 pills a day. They will cure me, so they say. Ha! not a bit of improvement I see, until I came across an oil called CBD Its father was illegal so many years causing arrests and jail and many tears Then the took out the naughty stuff and left an oil no sane person would puff Bought me a bottle, used a few drops when all of a sudden some of the pain stops Good enough for me, first relief in years read all about it and found I had no fears So if you see me, head tipped back, dropper in hand, I'm medicating my way!
Like the pharmaceutical industry, most medicines have been found through trial and error. Some of the well-known ones are thousands of years old and passed down through word-of-mouth. That still works today. But modern medicine and scientific trials had been used to check out all supposedly, medicines, and determine their efficacy. Some pills are mere distillations of age-old remedies.
Certainly, doctors are in a hurry and quite often not right with their prescriptions. And certainly, some folk remedies do a good job and require no expensive prescription. But I would warn against rumored cures like all of those continual scams for losing weight. Just because it works for somebody else doesn't mean it will work for you.
I'm willing to try any remedy as long as it works without side effects. If I stopped taking all my pills, except one with a warning not to stop, I probably would continue on without much more by way of pain and problems.
