So what's up with prescription drugs gone bad and legal action afterward? Is no drug safe to trust anymore?
Have you seen the commercials with lawyers saying to call them if you've taken Yaz or Phen Fen or whatever drug that resulted in stroke, death, shrinking manhood, athlete's foot of the tongue, alien babies, hairy toenails, eyelid warts, etc.? (Okay, so maybe some of those aren't real side effects.)
Now I've seen on TV that the newest drug with lawyers after it is Reglan. Apparently it's known to cause neurological problems! I took Reglan for a week (maybe) about a month or so after Paisli was born because a friend recommended it for increased milk production, but it completely wiped me out! I could NOT stay awake for more than a few hours at a time. I even had to take naps at work, so I stopped taking it. It didn't seem to increase my milk production anyway.
So how do I know if a drug is safe? After hearing good things about it, I was thinking of having Hyrum try a prescription for hair loss (he's just getting a little thin in front), but I'm afraid that after he takes it, they'll find out people are being hospitalized for saggy earlobes, moldy armpits, lactating elbows, Billy Bob teeth syndrome, total body hairlessness, or some other equally disturbing/distressing end result LIKE DEATH and that you should contact the law office of Stank, Funk, Nilly and Willy to see if you qualify for compensation.
Okay, so I'm sure hair loss prescriptions are fine, but I still have to freak out in the back of my mind when I find out women are having strokes or dropping dead from birth control pills and patches. I think I'll watch him go bald and be glad his earlobes aren't hanging down to his shoulders.
Here's to the safety of those using prescription drugs!!

We don't get those commercials out here - probably because medicine is free on the NHS so people can't make money out of law suits.
This is Teresa, I never get a chance to get on the computer and read your blog but I'm at mom's and this post was on her laptop so I read it and I cant help but always laugh at your witty explanations. How do you come up with these things. It's hilarious. Your great. Love you and miss you this holiday weekend.
Those commercials freak me out too! I see them all the time, and since I'm on the pill I get all nervous.
(haha i just love reading your blogs tho! they're so funny!)
I had to laugh when I read your blog this morning! Eric and I were having this same conversation just the other day. His conclusion..."It's not a bald spot, it's a solar pannel for his love machine". Here's to letting the hair go and staying alive!
