To be frank, I am not afraid of the disease.
I am afraid of the various types of medications available for the
disease. I am not afraid of the effects of the disease. I am afraid of
the after effects of medicines prescribed by the doctor, for the
disease. There is a mushroom growth of medications for a particular
disease.
"The best thing a person with chronic
headaches can do is get off the painkillers," says Paul Duckro,
associate professor of psychiatry at St. Louis University. "In our
studies, two-thirds of the chronic headache sufferers benefited from the
withdrawal of medication."
You can very well understand the
implications of the above statement. To an extent, it is better to bear
the torment of the headache, than to invite diseases by taking
pain-killers.
You don't know when these pain-killers turn just
killers!
Why then you feel relieved form the headache,
temporarily, when you take these pain-killers? It is simply because the
headache becomes temporarily drug-induced. Its real effect is that it
does not reduce pain, it produces pain. You know, many experts are
unanimous in their opinion that pain-killers can not get you permanent
relief from headaches. But they can cause permanent damage certainly.
Over
the counter medications for headache can be termed as dangerous.
According to Dr William Bennett, Head of Nephrology at Oregon Health
Sciences University, USA such painkillers are responsible for over 20 %
of the 125,000 cases of the final stage kidney diseases in that
country.
