I react badly to drugs of any kind so tend to avoid them anyway. I've just been prescribed a couple of drugs (for an enlarged prostate) which caused so many severe side effects I've had to stop taking them.<br /><br />The therapy obviously did you a great deal of good and brought a lot of suppressed emotions to the surface. In the long run much more helpful than a load of toxic drugs, I would say.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-33554799616229604092015-06-10T12:43:29.191-02:302015-06-10T12:43:29.191-02:30Good luck with the medical workups.

I assume you've consulted someone because of a problem that you're experiencing. I hope the tests turn up an easily-fixable or already resolving problem.

Mammy had a solution for agnst, anger or frustration, to suit the day: Cut the grass, chop sticks or fill a coal bucket. Windows needing cleaning, furniture to polish or silver to be cleaned. Anger made a great buffer for a shine you could see yourself in. Today it is still the method I use as my cure all. The best way to forget about the thorns - the pains and problems they causeed was to go to the movies for a comedy that made you laugh until the tears had washed out your eyes of the good old weepie - do they make them anymore? <br /><br />As you know, I have plenty of health issues to bring me down, but sinking under is letting them win and that I have no intention of doing!<br /><br />Stay well my friend.Grannymarhttp://grannymar.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-60725218300657302852015-06-09T14:12:37.739-02:302015-06-09T14:12:37.739-02:30So very true, SJG, it gets sadder as we get older ...So very true, SJG, it gets sadder as we get older and it's all conflated with a kind of wonder we're still this side of the daisies.

I remember during intense lasting grief after the death of a family member, driving along, looking at the beauty of the land, and thinking, "It's nothing but a vale of tears" and realizing yes, that's true ... for all of us, not just me. And it was a comfort because it made it seem natural, normal, not an aberration, not a horror happening only to me.
