Taking Medicines

I have fibromyalgia and so I'm often in a lot of pain, but I try to avoid taking painkillers unless I really have to. The long term effects of constant use aren't good, so I ration myself as it were. If I have a headache I try and sleep it off or use balms. I also use hot wheat and lavender bags for my joints and work with crystal and spiritual healing. There are a lot of alternative remedies that can really ease your suffering.

Absolutely not! I go to medicine as a last option. I hate taking medicine, I don't know why, but it's always been like that.

I don't like to take pain medicine and I won't unless the headache, etc. is so bad that I just can't take it anymore. I already have to take enough other medicines without adding pain medicine to it. I don't like to take any medicine unless it is absolutely necessary.

I do not immediately resort to medicines or painkillers if the pain is still bearable. I usually wait for the pain to subside. I rarely take medicines because I often get spasms when I do. It's a totally different story for toothaches though.

I don't actually resort to medicine unless I consult my doctor or anyone who has good knowledge about medicine. Then again, there are times when my headache becomes so unbearable and I'm all alone so I have no choice but to drink painkillers. I have a slight symptoms of migraine, I even got hospitalized for my headache before.

yup..i don't know.i can't get it out of my system.

generally i want to avoid any problem because i don't want to take any medicine immediately. but i think today i have to take one painkiller.
