Pain in the

Woke up with a new pain today. I’m blessed with good health but I do notice that in the last few years I’ve joined the “NEW PAIN OF THE WEEK” club. Fortunately, they are never serious or severe, just irritating. Part of the clubs activity is the secret greeting we give other members. This takes place at odd moments when, for no aparent reason, a person exclaims “Ouch” or “OOOO” and then grimisis. It is the arrival of a new pain which decides to show up for no reason. If you’re near a person when they give the secret greeting, simply smile and say "I know, new pain”. Nothing more needs to be said 


Unfortunately, there are treatments for the pains. I say unfortunately because often the cure is worse than the problem. I googled about my new pain this morning and the information said to use an anti-inflamatory like Naproxen. Googled naproxen and it said possible side effects are:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; trouble breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue; wheezing); bloody or black, tarry stools; change in the amount of urine produced; chest pain; confusion; dark urine; depression; fainting; fast or irregular heartbeat; fever, chills, or persistent sore throat; loss of appetite; mental or mood changes; numbness of an arm or leg; one-sided weakness;


That’s enough. It goes on for another 20 problems. So now I can either live with my new pain or take a chance on a new symptom. If I wanted to gamble I would go to Vegas! Just Say’n.
