Gads, they are pushing anti bp meds on tv now! I have a real problem with this as the success of our meds is such a hit and miss, individual thing!

Sheesh!!! I don't like this at all!

They're also pushing a book to track our symptoms. Any rational person would look BP when they are done with them. And we know how to trick the system and look normal.

Who writes that shit!

I think all prescription drugs commercials are rediculous...Seriously what better way to go through treating medical conditions than leaving decisions of what your gonna take up to the patient. Isn't that kinda what doctors are for.
Still waiting for the prescription Heroin commercials to come on. "Heroin....Inject all your troubles away!"

Pharmacutical Companies have become so powerful(and rich)...have they forgotten what their real job is...making medicines availaable for people ,and to ease suffering...The Target and Walmart meds are not anything I take either....buut at least SOMEONE is trying.

I watched a documentary a while back on pharmaceutical companies. Turns out that PMDD that women suffer from is something totally manufactured by the pharma's, something to do with prozac's patent running out so the redid the formula and called it serafem.

The pharma's are making our diseases now. So thoughtful of them. I wonder how they will had to BP in the coming years.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
