Why did it take you so long to put it down? It reminds me of my father, he had to give up working as a carpenter and go on disability while in his mid fifties. The doctors said he had severe arthritis and would not live long, they put him on a medicine that he only took for a few days and then threw the rest away. He said that stuff will kill you. A few years later the medicine was taken off the market because the stuff would kill you. I can’t remember the name of it but Dad lived to be one month shy of eighty two and was completely free of arthritis symptoms in his later years. In fact in his late seventies he was as flexible as a thirteen year old. He did a lot of work on his own house long after the doctors who told him he wouldn’t live long had been buried.
Sometimes you have to listen to your own body and ignore the doctors.
That wouldn’t have been Vioxx would it?
