My step-sister is a chemist who worked for a pharmasutical company and she will not even take over the counter meds let alone prescribed except asprin. And she gets really bad migrains, but she would rather suffer. She's worked in the industry and knows the harm being done with meds.

Well, with due respect, my rule is nobody lives forever and everyone needs to measure their own quality of life. I occasionally take celebrex for degenerative disc issues and it works so good I have to be careful not to be tricked into say a skiing outing because I feel fourteen again. Trust me, I'm not defending big Pharma but occasionally they do hit one out of the park...
