I think the "go take a pill" thing is the way society is trained these days. A hundred years ago, it was mostly suffer in silence. We didn't have that many medications. Now we have thousands of types of pills and half the advertisements you see on TV and in magazines are for pills. Lyrica, Cymbalta, Viagra, Mucinex, there's just thousands of them. Medical science, and doctors, and drug companies have taught us that there's a pill for everything, and everything will be better if we just take the right pill. I understand the frustration (tho I can say my husband isn't one of the ones who says "take a pill"). I get tired of taking them myself. But part of the blame can't be laid at the feet of family. Most of it has to be laid at the feet of society, and what billions of dollars of advertising over decades of our lives tell us. I am not a medical doctor and any medical opinion I give is based on personal experience and/or research. It is not intended to suppliment or replace your doctor. Follow at your own risk.
