Ain't it the truth, though!

Even better than that one is this one... This one is SO FUNNY!

Jeff Foxworthy does a very silly monologue about side effects, and The Simpsons had a drug parody episode last year. Thanks to FDA rules, if one person in a whole trial of tens of thousands of people have an oddball side effect they have to disclose it. (Which is fine; some of the side effects can be nasty if you got a crummy draw in the gene lotto.)

If you believe that you should go see this one. Doctors are suppose to report them but that invloves a lot of peperwork, and I know from my own personal experience that the doctors DO bush you off when you complain and will not make any connection to your problem to a drug he has prescribed to you.

The FDA has stacks and stacks of files to go through and once a complaint IS filed with them, it takes a very long time for what little staff they have to get to it.

One in 10,000 don't sound like a lot until you realize millions take whatever drug and it seems small until it happens to YOU or your family member.
Anyone here in a statin drug? (Cholesterol lowering).. Read you insert, does it say that some people suffer from amnesia? Have memory loss? Loose their balance? Suffer tendon damage? My inserts never did. It didn't list joint pain either when I first got on it, is it there now?

They (the MAKERS) test these drugs with 2 different groups, one takes their drug, the other takes a sugar pill which is nothing... So, what they are saying is that their pill is better than nothing......
