I get paracetemol for pain and Zantak for acid reflux - neither have side effects, and can be bought 'over the counter'
Any fancier drugs I have been given have had side effects and so I can't take them.
Some people are more prone to get side effects than others, and when I see the potential for damage to other internal organs from prescription drugs, in some ways I am thankful that I can survive without them.
When I tell my doc that paracetemol doesn't relieve pain, he says 'try whisky'.
When I tell him I spend half my life asleep, he says 'drink lots of coffee'.
I just try to improve my quality of life using herbal remedies. They don't come free on NHS, but I know that they won't kill me off, (if taken in recommended dosages)

Its the only problem taking drugs for any illness, there are side effects, I was talking to my specialist last week and asked him about a drug I take for Oseoporosis called fosamax, which give some people irregular heart beat, he just said my heartbeat was fine and not to worry, mind you I only have osteoporosis through taking steriods in the first place, and take df118s for the pain, which are also very strong, I also take losec because of stomach problems caused by mediction, it just one big visious circle, but if you want to live thats the price you have pay
