[QUOTE]Originally posted by LOA: [QB] Oh, sweety.... that really sucks..... If it helps at all (and it doesn't), about 14 of the medications I've been put on in the last year now have large class action law suits against the manufacturers for the long term health effects - no one told me THAT bit of news and I gulped them down hapily each day. On the plus side, I've been thinking about jumping on board with all of these lawsuits and living the high life.... if I play my cards right, I may never have to work again ;) Don't stress about the cancer yet though - you're at a higher risk, but you don't actually HAVE it - so there's no sense worrying about it. Be aware, but don't panic. I found out about my high stroke risk due to my migraines and the medications I'm on a few months ago (something the doctors never told me.......) and I went into super panic mode - a 20 year old girl in my support group died of a stroke, and I realized that could be me! For several weeks straight, all I did was worry, and every day, when the migraine came on, I wondered to myself "Is this the day I'm going to die?" It finally occured to me, it's not worth all of the worry. I'm glad I'm aware now, because I can prepare the people around me - my manager and several coworkers are educated in the signs of stroke. My boyfriend is aware of the signs of stroke. There are several key people at my jobsite who have consistantly updated lists of my medications to give paramedics, in case I go down on the job, plus I keep a list in my wallet and my boyfriend has a list (he's my emergency contact). Other than that, I don't worry. Life is too short to spend worrying, especially if the worst case scenario DOES come along and end it abruptly *hugs* I wish you the best and I hope you can find peace in this knowledge, though I know it won't be easy. We're here for ya if you need anything.... ~Liz [/QB][/QUOTE]
