If you were extremely short sighted and you were told you would need glasses to improve your vision and ergo your quality of life you would without a doubt do it.
So where is the real difference ??
I have to take heart tablets and asprin every day for the rest of my life, yes it is a right royal pain in the arse, but I feel better with than without.
Maybe you need a different tablet, but when you find the right one, don't fight it go with it.
Sorry I sound like I am preaching and I didn't mean to.
