[quote="leejosepho"][quote="Plywood"]Anybody else suffer from it?[/quote] I think I do not, but I think some doctors would say otherwise. Most recently, I told some doctors about some terrible side effects I had once experienced after taking a certain medication, and then I was told that same medication was going into my IV at that very moment (and I was having no trouble with it). Concerning that particular medication, however, I now believe there were some additional factors at the time of those side effects.[/quote]

You will die someday.
