I am now on the third or fourth prescription for age-related arthritis. Typically they work well until they get swapped out for a generic. I pay no attention at first because all seems to be okay, and then the dry mouth kicks in, and after that the slightly swollen tongue and throat, which if it goes on long enough gives me the most awful obstructive sleep apnea. As I told my doc when he prescribed the latest thing that now sits on my shelf, "It's terrifying. You should try it."
Yet when I watch the abundant tv ads, I can tell that if I'm not damn careful I am going to end up with something prescribed to treat symptoms caused by a drug I should just quit taking.
At the moment I am simply taking a couple of adult-size aspirin in the mornings when I am scheduled for Pilates.
