"Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" (meggiemeg)

MDJunction to me

scotty04901"MDJ to me is an added phase in my recovery as a 44 year survivor of a TBI. I hope that with what I have lived through in those years, will be able to help all those who are just now going through. It is important to understand that even after 44 yrs, I am continuing to recover and to evolve. I just hope I can help others." (scotty04901)

Widely Prescribed Pain Drugs

Pulled From Market -- Serious Side Effects

The FDA has asked the maker of Darvon and Darvocet -- pain medications on the market

since the 1950s and prescribed to millions of patients -- to stop selling the drugs

because they pose serious heart risks. The action includes generic versions, too.

I am not a Doctor. The information I give is from personal experience and reasearch. It is only advice.

Thanks, good to know. They make me sick so it won't affect me, but so many people take them. I did way back in the late 60's for awful headaches, and it didn't even work. Just made me weird. Well, weirder! LOL
