The drugs don't kill people, the people kill themselves by taking too many and get addicted to them. Many many people only take pain pills if they really need them. I probably have thrown out more expired pain pills than i have taken while they were effective.
You need a mountain lion to move in and chase those rascals off!
I thought the liver damage came from taking Tylenol and drinking alcohol at the same time. Drs tell mommas to give it to babies all the time.
Yes, there are certainly times when people NEED the big guns, especially for chronic pain, like granny's, but prescribing it as a matter of course, especially in such large doses, is a key reason why we are having a drug epidemic in the country. I could have had 50 pills of narcotic to sell if I had filled the prescription for my son. I was shocked dr even wrote it out for wisdom teeth. Back in the dark ages, when my brother and sis had their wisdoms out, they only had aspirin to take and survived. Same as when each of them broke an arm... ice and aspirin was it. Short term pain doesn't kill you, but these drugs are killing lots of people.
Lisa, you sure have been through the works. You have an amazing attitude for all that you endure. Same as granny.
