Well back when i had a tumor in my leg i was on so many medications i didnt care what they did just as long as they would take away the pain it got to the stage where i was taking so much medication i had to take medication to counter act with some of them that game me a dodgy stomach and so forth :) then one day i though id have a read of the leaflet that was supplied and to my astonishment one of the tablets i took to stop me being sick from taking other ones lol ( i know bare with me ) actually said that one of the common yes COMMON side effects was growth of breasts in men LOL i was shocked and stopped taking them emediatly :p SO Have any of you read the leaflets and been shocked at some of the side effects. Please tell me what the funniest/scariest ones youve heared of this should be a good one:)

I always make it a point to read the side effects of all medications. That way I know what to expect, and watch out for. Especially for my kids. I dont take any chances.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and I have had it for at least 25 years. Every thing I take or have taken according to those leaflet can cause adverse effect to my blood, kidneys, heart and so on and so forth.. But if I hadn’t taken the chance and kept on them I would be a flat board on a bed with some one wiping my butt for me. To me that was scarier than the side effects of all the medication. I had worked in a nursing home and took care of a man that was like that from rheumatoid arthritis. I was almost to that point. It took a lot of medication and some years to get me where I could move fairly free.
