Take a drug Get a side effect Take another drug for the side effect
Exactly! lol I honestly don't understand it. I don't mind taking a drug to heal a problem for a while, but I want to know what to do about it so that I won't have the problem any more. I realize that with something like diabetes, you're pretty much stuck taking some form of medication/insulin or whatever, but even that can be somewhat controlled with diet. I know of people who managed to get off all medication even for diabetes by changing their diet. (Not everyone can do that, and I realize that, but you'd think that more people would try it. And I don't mean just avoiding sugar or whatever.)
