I take two pills a day for my high blood pressure. Seems to work. I hurt every day, and rarely, when it gets bad enough, I'll take some Ibuprofen. That's it.
It seems to me that today, they prescribe a pill to fix your blood pressure, which gives you an itchy butthole, which requires another pill, which causes uncontrollable eye blinking, so you need a pill for that, which elevates your blood pressure. So, now, you need a new pill to counteract those other pills, and now, your hair itches.
Well guess what? There's a pill for that one too!
A pill for every problem!!

Except America is about to run out of pills.

None, not a one......... but in my defense I get all those symptoms you mentioned without any pills.

Do we need all these pills, or, just do what we're told? By the big pharma medicos?

Doctor Dave Loc: Madisonville, Tx.

None and happy about it.

I think I'll move to natural food, and weed.

Garlic is great for lowering blood pressure...
As is alcohol

Many people require medication. One should work with their physician to determine which are really needed and why. Too many patients do not take any responsibility.

But America is facing a crisis. Many critical meds such as antibiotics are in dander.

I hate pills and have to take them One for Heart one for blood pressure one for Diabetes which I refuse to have . They tried every statin pill on me they could and gave me God awful leg cramps . I quit taking them and my cholesterol is 103 . Now I know this is a delicate subject but try Baby powder for the itchy butthole .

Tom, I had a bad experience today at an urgent care place. I'm sick. No covid, no flu, strep, or any of that. Just sick. They.....eh, long story, but, my blood pressure was a little elevated when I walked in since I had taken my pills 20 minutes before. They swabbed the top of my head through my nose, and swabbed my throat down to my anus, then put me in a room for 2 1/2 hours. Finally the PA gal comes in, and tells me I'm negative for everything. Looks in my ears, up my nose, down my throat, and all that. Says I have a virus, allergies, and need steroids, cough medicine, nasal spray, and rest. When I asked about how it all works with my blood pressure medicine, she said it'll escalate it some, but it'll be fine. Then left.
After another 25 minutes of sitting there, I got pissed. Went out to the desk where they were all playing grab ass, and joking, and told them I wanted my paperwork so I could go home. They perked right up then, and within 5 minutes, I had one gal sticking me in the butt with a needle while another was handing her a blood pressure thing through the door while my skivvies are half masted.

Well, as it turned out, my blood pressure was extremely high, and as I Walked by, that PA gal recommended that I go to the ER because of my blood pressure. I told her what I thought, and left.
OK, so I got the shot in the butt, and she called in 3 prescriptions for me. None of which, according to the great googly moogly, work with my daily pills.
So, once again, I called my regular doctors office today, since they didn't have time for me today, and explained the .....you know.. the thing.
So.. ......I'll go see this insurance milking dirtbag at 9 am, and see what happens from there.

I swear, I'm gonna have a stroke, or heart attack from trying to prevent it!!

Oh geeze I get so tired of doctors . For a long time I did not have one -just a pharmacist who talked to me over the phone . Damn pill pushers . I try to solve my problems by eating a big steak . It might not help but at least I am satisfied .
