Now you've opened up a can of worms, LOL! Personally, I just feel that we are putting enough stress on our body and adding one more drug that taxes the liver is the last thing we need.
People in general take painkillers, specifically NSAIDS, like they are candy. In fact I believe that there is a huge portion of the population which abuse them, and I think that in general people are ignorant to the potential side effects of their use, specifically long-term and with 'abuse', and the toll it takes on your liver. We are taking these painkillers for the most basic things - I am sore from my workout, aspirin! I have a small headache, aspirin! I twisted my ankle getting out of the car, aspirin! I have a moderate headache - three aspirin! Etc, etc, etc.
This is coming from someone who thinks we use drugs for way too many things in todays society. There is a drug for everything, and no one is concerned with the potential side effects, as REAL as they are. I haven't taken any antibiotics or pain medications for at least six years, minus the one occassion where I strained my neck somehow and literally could not move.
Anyhow, I don't want to pollute this thread with anything other then respects for the deceased, but we can always open a new thread!
