Pharmaceutical rundown and a funny

I was amazed when I finally saw all my medicines in one place today.

I know it can't be good to be filling myself with this toxic prescription coctail.

1. Hydrocod/gg syrup Tastes like someone took all the leftover halloween candy and melted it into a bottle. The good news is that it knocks me out for a couple of hours and makes my gin last longer.

2. Pro air HFA abuterol inhaler. Pretty much mental masturbation. I puff on this thing every few hours with little to unknown effect. Tastes like licking a new clock radio.

3. Mucinex. Big ole honking blue and white elephant pills. They smell and taste like that that carpet glue they use when they remodel a cheap hotel room after someone dies in it.

4. 12 hour nasal spray. It's the proverbial finger in the sinus dike. Finger in the dyke? ..whatever.

5. Allergy relief with diphenadrine. Not sure if it works but I'm afraid to stop.

6. Loratadine Orally disintegrating tablets. They are small, unintrusive and taste like strawberries. They are great for chasing Mucinex.

The doctor assured me that there is no problem taking these things all together.

I'd like to see that bastard try it...

Here's a funny:

First...What will make the medications go down easier are having your wife, children, pets, and all of us by your side; and threats from your Doctor, of course.

Second..."Red State Update" are my choice for political pundits of the decade and permanent debate moderators!

Didn't you post that video before or did I see it somewhere else!

That's some cocktail you have brewing there - the road to financial ruin.
Cheers

Geeze, I thought you were just taking a break. I didn't realize you had been sick. Sorry to hear that. I'm glad you're feeling a little better now. Sorry I've been such a slacker visiting.

It just makes we contemplate how easy it is to rant against the evil Pharmaceutical industry until the day we need their poisons to make us healthy.

At least all I have to do is take a bunch of pills three times a day. What bothers me more than medication is having to use a damn CPAP machine at night.

Yes sounds like a great cocktail and lots of money well spent. LOL... Hope all is getting better though.

Damn, that's quite a list.

Pop all that with a double-shot of Nyquil and you'll be all set, my friend.

Those inhalers never did anything for me either.

what did you do, organize your drugs? I wont take anything if I am "on" something as simple as Tylenol. I just cant do it.

My sister is a huger proponent of herbal cures. She'd have you chewing stuff that would have a lot of those same qualities, only they'd take twice as long to work. The last time I let her treat me she had me chew a tree root that gave me the drizzlin' shits for days. It was suposed to soothe my sore troat. Stick with it man. Modern medicine may be run by imps of satan, but they know their shit, most of the time.

remember this - doctors are in the business of staying in business - hence, they love sick people.

they're not trying to get us better, they endeavor to keep us coming back for more.

they are not your friend.

most of those things you cited can be bought over the counter.

america is the most drug addicted nation in the world.

pharmaceutical companies spend over 90 BILLION dollars a year pushing their drugs in magazines (go ahead, p/u a woman's mag), on television, radio and so on.

i hope all this made you feel better!

I have the same problem. I take so much medicine that when I go to my doctor, they make me bring all my pills so they can remember what all they are having me take. I'm not kidding, either. I asked them , since they did the prescriptions how come they don't know what they prescribed? If they don't know what they prescribed, how do they know it all mixes ok?

I believe the Loratadine is generic for Claritin. I used to take this but it did nothing for my allergies.

As for the albuterol inhaler, for those who say they do nothing for you - if you've got asthma, brochitis, etc., and are in distress, you know that the inhaler is a lifesaver in opening up your airways.

Feel better soon, Hammer.
