Not a joke – my wife is on opioids for pain management For the last 7 years. She drinks LOTS of water. Sometimes it helps. |

Why John? I hope you are not having pain trouble? |
Winston Smith | 08 Nov 2015 8:26 p.m. PST |
Sorry Ed. But I was expressing my irritation at those stupid "Ask your doctor if" commercials. |

I think he's making fun of the commerials. Watching drug ads with their side-effects makes you wonder how they ever were cleared by the FDA. Tired of "hot flashes"? Take our pills and get dementia instead!" |

eTrade had a commercial spoofing side effects link "…the condition known as 'hot dog fingers;…" |

I always like "Don't take Miracula if you are allergic to any of the ingredients of Miracula". Well how the hell am I supposed to know what's in Miracula if you won't tell me (trade secrets)?? And always, "As your doctor if you are healthy enough for sexual intercourse" – if I'm not, just let me die quietly. |

Very Funny DT23! Now if the drug companies would actually tell us what they put in vaccination shots for children? |

That's a hilarious Miracula parody, DT23! You'd fit right in at the 'Commercials I Hate' forum. And one has to wonder, is "Miracula" somehow related to "Dracula"? |

NP, Winston. I have a [censored] for a lot of doctors and would never ask a doctor if XYZ were ABC for PDQ because she/he probably would not know |

Why would a doctor need to consult that blue book when he/she can just look it up on his/her zippy new drug company-donated computer? |

My Father's take on the practice of Medicine: "Why do you think they call it PRACTICE?" |

What do you call the person who came in last in the class in medical school? Doctor. |

I have been on opioids for 17+ years. My VA doc asked me about constipation for the first time at my visit last week. Never had the problem. Wouldn't wish it on anyone. |
