Over the years I—like you—have heard that the cure can be worse than the disease. With so much information provided on all the new meds advertised on television and in print, it’s amazing that anyone would be willing to try the “cure.” The possible complications of some medicines seem to present a whole new challenge for those looking to ease their particular malady.
