Doctor to sick patient: Here's a drug that will help with your illness.
Sick patient to doctor: The drug you gave me causes side effects.
Doctor to sick patient: Here's a drug to counteract the side effects.
Sick patient to doctor: The drug you gave me to counteract the side effects of the first drug causes other side effects.
Doctor to sick patient: Here is another drug that will take care of the side effects caused by the drug given to you to counteract the side effects of the first drug.
On and on, until finally, the patient is taking........
And ends up lookin' like this!

The side effect of viagra intrigues me. A four hour woody or loss of vision. I'm betting there are a lot of guys going to the eye doctor instead of giving up the little blue pill.
I was on some sort of sinus allergy medicine for almost 10 years. My HMO would not pay for a scratch test to figure out what I was allergic to so they advised me to take the meds all year - just in case. I finally went into the doctor and asked if I should be concerned with long term usage. She said "No, you can be on that forever" I thought FOREVER - I'm only in my early 30's. I could be pumping this stuff into my body for 50 or more years. Anyway, I read an article about using a Netipot with saline. I'm completely off the meds-no problems so far. Do you think mt doctor is EVER going to prescribe saline irragation for sinus symptoms -hardly.
