If you read the side effects written in the leaflets on medicines and a condition causes potential damage that could be life limiting some people won’t have a choice but to take the medicine.
As Dr Whitty said at one of his many Covid press conferences, if we read the leaflets we would never take the medicine.
Some of us have no choice, we have to take the meds that make our life bearable. I am a total fan of modern medicine, I rely on it and I thank the scientists every day for their amazing research work.
What I despair of is the people who take their statins, diabetic meds but continue with their old lifestyle that caused their condition in the first place, when you get diagnosed with an illness you have to change your old life style.
