Morphine can be an effective painkiller. It is often given in hospice.

I got.... nothing. :roll: I've heard some stupid conspiracy theories about autism but this one is the dumbest one.

When I had my gall bladder removed last year, I had a prescription for hydrocodone for pain relief.

I only took the hydrocone three times before switching to rubbing aspercreme on the incision and taking tylenol. I still felt pain every time with the hydrocodone, but none with the tylenol and aspercreme.

I have lost track of how many times I have seen MAGA-idiots denigrating Democrats for making decisions based on feelings rather than on facts. If you watch Trump's announcements about Tylenol and mercury and aluminum, it was all about his feelings rather than about facts.

I've been diagnosed since I was 8 years old and even this one doesn't compare to the one I read on the internet years ago by animal rights activists claiming that milk and dairy causes autism...

If anything, maybe lead exposure in the past contributed to autism...leaded gasoline was not banned until 1996.

I have no idea if that's true, but seems a little more likely than Tylenol given the timeline of the rise of autism...but unlike RFK I recognize that it's just an idea. Not a scientifically proven fact so I'm not going to go around claiming it's a fact.

There is a lot of research going on to look for a connection between low levels of Vitamin D in the mother to autism in the fetus.

As I understand it, it is not that the low levels cause autism, but that lower levels may trigger issues with those genetically prone to autism.

It wouldn't explain all cases of autism, but it might help to explain why autism is becoming more common as pregnant women get less and less exposure to sunlight during the middle of the day.

I hate Orange Turd and Worm Brain so much, and I hope they die very very soon!!

Hey Murricans, guns are perfectly good and safe and everyone has a right to own them, but if your kid is lining up your guns instead of playing with them, your life is ruined forever!!

Why won't Turd and Worm die?? Every day I wake up, and I still see the orange prick's hideous vomit-inducing face plastered all over everything!! I just want them GONE. DEAD. :skull: :skull:

Two really important things to remember here -
1. Trump is an idiot.
2. Trump is still an idiot.
