I watched part of that show....came into it late so I didn't get to see the whole interview.

Since my MS dx I have become very skeptical about prescription meds. Some OTC meds, too. I find I research them to death and only take what I feel is safe and those that the side effects don't outweigh the benefits.

We all have to be our own advocate and not just take whatever the doctor decides is best for us. I question everything and if the doctor cannot answer my questions I dig until I find the answer myself. Usually it's the pharmacist who knows the most.
