So if so many of us are / were being eaten alive by bp on meds, what exactly is the point of taking them again?

Its a rhetorical question, I'm not looking for a debate, not my thread, not my fight, just making a point.

Also, I know the pro-meds folk believe to be helping when they say "take meds as prescribed" I was on the other side of the fence afterall. But please take into consideration that this is not always the type of support a poster is seeking and may be taken as invalidating or discouraging.

We are here to support after all, and need to be sensitive to eachother's indivdual needs.
