Are You Taking Any Prescription Medications?

@NickiHijab I use alternatives.

@cherokeepatti I'm not opposed to alternatives. I actually prefer them. Lesser side effects.

@NickiHijab exactly why I use them. Scares the crap out of me to listen to prescription drug ads on tv when they list the possible side effects

@cherokeepatti Seriously, the side effects are worse than dealing with the ailment.

@UnderLockDown permanent ones including death….yikes…😳

@cherokeepatti Yeah, I've seen people with more health concerns than they initially had and before you know it they're spiralling.
It's difficult finding alternatives that help though. Hasn't worked for me yet.

@NickiHijab Had an aunt who was on 2 dozen prescriptions plus about 10 OTC drugs. She was miserable.

@NickiHijab most of those drugs were for the side effects of other drugs she was prescribed. This is not uncommon with the elderly

@UnderLockDown Agree! And people have to take more medication to deal with the side effects! 😱
