DP and I were discussing painkiller use to alleviate pain during exercise.
He said that as a society we are becoming very dependent on medicines. So we both tried to think of people we know and what meds they are on. Then we thought of all the meds we have taken over the years.
We couldnt think of anyone who has probably ever gone a year without using some form of pharmaceutical product.
If you include asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure pills to painkillers, anti histamines, contraceptives, lemsip, gaviscon, canestan, anti depressants and anti anxiety meds as well as anti biotics and any dental pain relief it seems hard to escape not using anything in a given year.
Are there such healthy people on mumsnet?
Or do I just know unhealthy people?
