In reply to the discussion: What Getting Carded for Sudafed Says About the Drug War [View all]Occulus
(20,599 posts)For some people, sinus trouble means a little congestion and stuffiness, some pressure, and a bit of pain. For me, it means a screaming, thrashing sinus migraine, akin to having an icepick pressed slowely through my cheekbone. The pain is completely incapacitating. They sometimes cause me to pass out, and are so bad my doctor certified me for a lifetime FMLA condition.
The one time I tried sudafed for it, it not only stopped the migraine but actually prevented the next one. Nothing else, no other drug or pain releiver, has ever done that. Because of these laws, I can't buy enough to keep me at work every day in the fall and spring. Not by a long shot.
So, I have to suffer incapacitating pain just so your family doesn't have to parent their kids. Where do i send the bill for my lost wages? I only ask because your family obviously owes me money and I want them to pay the fuck up!
