RE: Purdue Says It Will Stop Marketing Its OxyContin To US Doctors
Yes, indeed @fitinfun ... it's a tangled web of backhanders and deceit. I don't believe for one minute that any of it is an accident and I'm SURE those who are supposed to regulate and protect overlook a lot of things that they are paid to overlook. We are being bled dry & sacrificed for profit by our governments and the companies they profit from. We are cattle for bureaucratic vampires and we have to opt out wherever we can.
I've done my best to get out of it. Doctor's appointments with 4 different specialties used to be my social life.
Once I lost "half my size" the fitness trainer I was working with suggested I see all my doctors and get some of the 20+ meds cut back. He reasonably thought that the dose for a person near 150 pounds should not be the same a when I was close to 300.
Well, no - all the doctors wanted me to stay at the same dose. none of the meds could be reduced at all. I was feeling so much better then and decided to quit all of them and go back if I needed to. That took about a year with my doctors unhappily weaning me off of everything.
Now after 5 years I take NOT ONE of the medications and still feel fine. I stopped seeing the doctors after this point and I feel fine about that too.
Congratulations! Probably a life saving move on all accounts. ❤️💪
Very true. I would not be here today if I was still obese and so ill all the time.
I think I need some of your inspiration to get fitter!
I congratulate you in my head every time I come across you in comments @fitinfun!
