It's no fun and I'm just about convinced it affects the brain forever. It's very difficult to get rid of it after the fact, too. So I do realize that happens. I just wonder about being "forced" to take medication. Maybe you doctors are wrong and it isn't absolutely necessary?
I have pain that the doctors call tactile hallucinations, but really it feels like I am being torchured by electricty moving thru my body.Tourture which seems to tell me what to do or not do. I am scratching myself as I type this. I am suprised that I am even able to communicate right now cause usually I have alot of problems doing the simplest of things. Even watching tv is a miracle.
It wasn't always like this. It started back in 06 when I was in the hospital; I felt a warm sensation in my stomach like I was being cooked from the inside. For days I couldn't bathe or wash my hands because of the metal in the water. When my family gave me change to get something to drink from the drink machine, I experienced a sharp pain in my hands. As soon as I got rid of the coins in my hand, the pain went away.
If I stop taking the meds which I can't (I am on a shot), I would go days without sleep, I would be agitated and anxious and would probably want to hurt myself or someone else or do something illegal.
With the medicine I sometimes have gone days without sleep because of the pain and I would get confused because of the stimulation the pain causes. I am very analytical so it is hard for me not to over analyze the pain.
The doctors don't know what to do. I go thu many med changes because the doctors don't listen to me when I say the pain has a mind of its own, it doesn't go away with medicine and it's not psychosomatic.

This issue has nothing to do with liberalism. And "liberals" don't agree with Bloomberg on hardly anything. But the bigots and haters and morons don't care, of course. Any excuse to behave like jerks is good enough for them.
Is it behaving like a jerk to believe the government has no business telling me what to eat or drink?

I am not mad at you but I think you should be careful what you say and who you're friends with.
It's like that psalm that says Blessed are those who walk not in the counsel of the ungodly nor sit in the seat of the scornful.
Even if your friends are christians they may not be the wisest people to follow because it is not kind or wise to mock people for the scripture says that the wisdom from above is first pure then peaceable...etc..I think you get the picture. Any way hope all is well.

I was not mocking obesity. I was mocking the government telling people what to eat and drink. I was saying that outlawing big drinks is as silly as outlawing large sized clothing. You do agree that outlawing plus size clothing is a silly idea, do you not?

Sorry about that Delmar...it takes a while for me to get people since I take things too literally.
I agree. I think it is silly to outlaw large sodas and plus sized clothing
The government has no business regulating soda IMO. If they are going to outlaw soda for being unhealthy, they might as well outlaw cake, candy, desserts, etc.
I don't think you should joke like that. I used to weight 115lbs and now I am close to 300lbs because I am forced to take medication that causes weight gain so no I don't think what you said was funny.
Well, Delmar already explained that he was commenting on the absurdity of this legislation, but I just wanted to defend my friend and explain that he is not the kind of person to make fun of people who are overweight.

Too late.. and these are only some of tons like it, cities, counties, etc.. have banned food items, bake sales, soda machines, etc.. already and there is even school lunch police...
I love it. Libs are so funny, on the one hand they don't want to be told how to live their lives, but then they want to tell everyone else how to live theirs.
They will also gladly give you the shirt off somebody else's back.
I haven't drank soda since the last time I went into a McDonald's back in 2006. It was simple, I looked around and saw 6 out of 10 people in there were morbidly obese. Once it dawned on me fast food is one thing ruining people it was easy to give it up. It would be easy to just ban everything people do that is detrimental but that's not liberty. You can't treat every bad choice as a crime. It's their choice, let them suffer for it. Some folks will wise up, some won't.
