You know what I just saw on TV?

Some commercial for a drug that "controls high blood sugar". You know how the people in it were? FAT. And over their ham speak a song played "ohh everyday people" or some shit.

There's another commercial for a drug I don't remember that also features hams, only hams.

Wasn't the highest selling one a few years ago a cholesterol pill? Lipitor?

Possibly. I looked them up and Lipitor was FDA approved in 96 and Synthroid in 01, so likely if was just catching up on the lag of being introduced to the market.

My dad actually uses levothyroxin. THAT BEING SAID, he's not fat. At all. He had his thyroid taken out when he was sixteen because he had cancer. And he's BMI 22. Fuck these fats who say their thyroid is their problem.

I seriously believe that if you can do without medication you shouldn't take any. As in, if you have a medical issue that requires it, then that's out of your control, but if you take drugs just because it can't possibly be good for you long term. Mind, that's probably because I had to take medication for my health for a few years and the side effects weren't fun. The moment I got a chance to try living without it I did. Life is harder, but I feel much better off them.

The more drugs you take, the higher chance you'll get nasty side effects or interactions. I don't take anything I don't have to. My doc mom said there's people who take other drugs to manage another drugs side effects in a horrible chain.

The worst bit is if you go off the drugs and find out that some of the side effects are permanent. It happens and then there is no way out of a horrible horrible cycle =/
