Do you used to take pills daily? Is it under any prescription? Do you use pills for minor illness too? I don't like pills or medicines. I take only when I am too sick. Do you have a drug store you often go and buy medicines? Do you always look for a nearby drug store wherever you go? For minor illness like headache, flu, small wounds I never take pills or any medicine. How about you?

I have one pill I have to take daily and there is no way out of it or that would be the end of me. Ialso try to remember to take 2 seperate vitamins for my general well being. If I feel cold coming on I will bolster myself with vitamin C and echancea tea as well. For this month I have had to take a prescription antihistimine and have been prescribed an inhaler but I am hoping that is only a temporary thing.

I unfortunately have to take medication for a long term illness but if I have a cold and flu unless really bad then prefer to just carry on as usual and try not to take anything unless it has the potential of affecting the way I look after my daughter which is when I woudl go and get something to relieve my symptoms

Right now I am currently taking two pills a day.. doctors orders !! I hate them. I always have to try to remember, and I am forgetful with my pills. One makes me have to go number 1 all day long and the other gives me horrible, awful stomach pains. I will tell the doctor when I go back in two weeks. My "minor" headaches are actually migraines, and I take nothing for them. I would get rid of these pills too, but my doctor says I must take them or I may get really, really sick.

Doctors will never see us as humans with heart and mind. They are keen only on some diseased parts of us. Thank you friend.
