My
doctor has prescribed medicines for me that sounded good until I asked
"What are the side effects?" And then the list comes forward. I have
looked at her, saying that if there are even 1% to 8%, I will experience every single one on the list.
She always smiles and even giggles.
1. Severe blisters and peeling skin: extensive skin loss over 30% similar to burns.
2. Toxic necrosis, death of cells spreading through the body.
3. Nerve damage, beginning in the hands and feet and later moving to the center of the middle of the body.
4. Hallucinations involving visual, smell, depression, sleep deprivation.
5. Priapism which is an unwanted, painful, persistent erection.
6. Birth defects
7. Compulsive behaviors, causing urges to perform a list of undesirable and intense excessive actions.
The list of medications and their horrible side effects is too darn long for this blog.
Lesson to be learned here is to read the information paper folded up in the box containing the possible effects. Lesson is to always discuss this with doctor and pharmacist.
We
went back to Illinois for my brother's funeral. A lady from the church
brought really good soup. We were process of eating and enjoying when a
commercial appeared, followed by a commercial advertising something. The side
effects were given, and we spewed soup all over. Explosive diarrhea and gangrene in male genitals were a possibility to hit a man's genitals.
Who knew?
