[quote=Anonymous]Allergic to NSAIDS so I'll never get messed up organs from using them but then again, I get zero medical treatment. In my area we've had two older women who got medical aid in dying for osteoarthritis. I figure that's my future when the pain gets too much. The media didn't question why you had to get "put down" for arthritis but that's the way it went. Older women are particularly disposable is what I see. With restrictions now on painkillers we basically have no options. If you look at the arthritis society website it will have nothing but NSAIDs, mindfulness, supplements and stuff like yoga as treatments. It's the only illness I know of where they actually suggest a pile of useless supplements that are basically placebo as first line options. But it's more an illness for old women who aren't important in health care is my guess. [/quote]
