Re: The word SCARED

[Guest guest]

Dennis and group;

Don't worry about me Dennis I wont use that word. I am never afraid

to take medicine. Maybe I should be. I quit reading side affects

cause I would get a little concerned and imagine the side affects

lol. We do need to watch out for some side affects that can be

dangerous though.

I said this many times here. I was in so much pain I would have took

arsenic if my doctor prescribed it to me. I guess I am fortunate my

doctors are touchy about using medicine haaaaaaaaaa. I just realized

what I said thats why I laughed. Their doctors they are suppose to

give us prescriptions lol.

gentle hugs
