I do have to take pills for blood pressure which I think are helping to prolong my life.
I did have for the first time in my life a couple of months ago an attack of Gout and that was painful, giving drugs for it cleared up in three days

Very interesting, you learn something new every day.Personally I am a bit wary of doctors, they are only human after all and make mistakes just like the rest of us, they have their good days and their bad days, and we'll just have to put up with them until something better comes along, who knows, maybe a super computer that only deals with medical problems and can tell everything about the individual patient in a few seconds, then prescribe the proper medicine in the correct doses to suit each individual, it has to happen sometime in the future, then just like the ordinary dockers of old doctors will no longer be required.

That's an interesting thought Jem. There could be a sort of platform you walk on to, like weighing scales have. You could programme in which bit hurts and the computer would give you an immediate scan of that part and then print the verdict. You could then go to the medication computer, post the verdict ticket into it and receive your medication.

Co Codamol is probably the most Dangerous drug you could be taking, It is EXTREEMLY ADDICTIVE with DEVASTATING results.
The withdrawal systems could take years to get over, and the pain you now suffer would be a lot worse.
I may be wrong, BUT I would personally advise you inquiring to find out the long term using side affects.
It is reported the drug looses its power to relieve pain so in a lot of cases the patient takes more and more to get the same results as they did at first. SOUND FAMILIAR, Resulting in overdose.
