We slept good again last night…or should I say I did. Sherri said I snored last night and kept here up. Funny, she was snoring in the recliner while I was watching TV…that didn’t seem to bother her? OH Well I have to try and not snore anymore.
Which brings me to the topic of medicine…Not for snoring but for all other types of health problems. When did they start giving all the side effects of medicine on TV? I know it was some time back but I have just now started taking notice of the commercials that tell you what a great drug XYZ is and then they start telling you the side effects in a times two rhythm which if you don’t listen closely you will miss altogether.
After listening to the side effects you wonder if you would not be better off with the ailment rather than the cure and the problems it brings on.
Here are some side effects of Viagra:
- headache
- facial flushing
- upset stomach
Less commonly, bluish vision….Now what is BLUSIH VISION…sounds bad to me! blurred vision…Kind of hard to have sex if you can’t see what is going on…. or sensitivity to light may briefly occur…Why would you want to have lights on…maybe if your doing porn??? Gee sounds fishy to me.
Now it sounds like to me that a pint of alcohol will do the same thing and then you wont have to worry about having sex at all.
Here are the side effects of Nexium:
Side effects may include:
Abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache
OK so as I see it I am going to give up indigestion for Abdominal pain…diarrhea…and a headache? Well that sounds like a fair trade off.
What is it with all this? I am afraid to take anything anymore after reading the side effects and weighing out the difference between what I have and what I might have.
Some of the other listed side effects of medicines include:
Sores that wont heal…goes over good in the grocery store line
rashes…no one wants to be around you
bloody stool…now everyone wants this to happen
Loss of bladder control…No more headache but I pee my pants all the time
Loss of hearing and balance…Once again this is better than itching and hair loss.
I could go on and on but I would lose some readers just through nausea alone. I think you get my point here. We should try to get more natural cures on the pharmacy shelf so we can lead a natural life without all the side effects.
Well better get out there and get some things done this morning before my Viagra kicks in and I find myself with blurred vision…

Joe - you are a hoot! BTW, do you allow Sherri to read your blogs?
aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhaaahaaaaaaaaaaaa too funny
I've thought the same thing. You're better off not taking anything and let the body recover on its own. What a great blog!
Can't stop laughing.... Great.
Speedy you're back to your old groove! Very funny. I think there was a commercial a while back in which the side effects included death. Now that's one to make you run to ask your doctor about.
You my friend are a lunatic, but a very likeable one. Keep up the writing.
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time....

Well you convinced me. I am going to sell my personal stock of Viagra at the next park patio sale.
This post is very true, I had never thought about all of that before. Great Blog, it keeps me laughing.
OMG Joe this was such a fun post to read but a little scary too... Only because it is soooo true! Every time I hear the side effects I say hmmmmm not taking that one ☺☺☺ Have a fun filled day my friend!
