Additions symptoms and conditions

As a Doctor myself I think drugs are NEVER the answer except in EMERGENT issues in Heroic life saving... YOU however and all individuals are and should be MORE accountable for your own health and STOP DEMANDING the Drugs and look to LIFESTYLE changes in DIET and EXERCISE to achieve the GOALS so necessary for quality and quantity of life.... The tools are at your fingertips ... The almighty internet ... And your OWN imaginative mentation is your TRUE limitation... So TAKE control of yourself and BE accountable .... Sorry so blunt but MORE tough love and Educating people is whats needed.... NOT more drugs....

I got into a car accident several years ago. I now have severe arthritis in my legs and shoulders and arms. Lifting weights has helped with the pain in my arms and shoulders, but nothing helps with the pain in my legs. When I first got into the accident I was put on soma. I stayed on it for around fifteen years at eight pills a day. When ultram came out I quit taking soma with no problems. Additions not a problem I have. After a few years on ultram it wasn't cutting it so my doctor put me on lortab 700. This helps a great deal and I find that if I take at least two of my doses during the night and only one during the day,I'm much more alert. I don't know what I'll do when these drugs quit working because my husband is selfemployed and so no one will give me insurance so that I can try the new very expensives meds that are out on the market. As of right now, I'm thankful for Lortab.

My son, 7 yrs. old. has been having terrible tummy trouble for the last year. he has been on 4 different meds. none seemed to help. he is now on aciphex. has anyone had double vision along with headaches? he sure does. he also has alot of gas and his stomach feels full and bloated. he does seem to be more forgetful then usual . any additions/comments welcome. thanks........shelley
