Really good read IMO - thank you - dealing with nueropathy and pain has to be one frustating things

http://more-distractible.org/musings...20to%20chronic

This gives a little perspective on the other side of this painful issue.

and the first response below it really hits home for me - I guess sometimes the cure comes with a large cost

How about figuring out that if Rx drugs are the number 4 cause of death in the US that maybe they aren't as safe as pharma reps and you like to say they are and the sudden onset of crippling issues from a fluoroquinolone antibiotic might really be from an adverse reaction to the antibiotic and not some weird coincidence. How about not being so pig headed to not believe that a drug that has black box warnings for tendon damage and for neuromuscular weakness actually DOES cause systemic tendon damage and neuromuscular weakness - is that too hard a leap for you to make?
