Minor but annoying health issue rant

[ghouck]

Pretty pathetic that we make medicine that causes as much if not more problem that what the meds were designed to clear up.

I had a boil under my arm once. The doctor gave me antibiotics. They gave me diarrhea. They gave me something to help that, and it made me unable to sleep. The doctor gave me something to help with the sleep, and that made me barf.

He didn't lance the boil?

Does anyone here get "heat headaches"? I do ... Maybe it's due to dehydration? Blaaaaaa

He did, but it was under my arm and not healing.

 If I were you I'd just drink a lot water-- p**s out that bacteria. And eat what you crave; you're probably not craving anything too sweet or savory, probably really basic stuff. Our bodies are usually pretty good at craving what foods we need. Like I've been craving fresh fruit and fish lately because I've been eating too much chicken, pork and grain (cos that's all I can usually afford).
