I'm not about to tell people what they should or should not take for pain but I also advocate a person look up the available treatments and what is available that you haven't already considered. In your particular case I would suggest a patch based on medical pot. If not a patch then something you eat so the level is constant. If your location allows that treatment then part of the process is getting samples before settling on which product offers you the best solution for your unique case. Start off with the strongest dose available and then complete a set of movements that would set off pain alarms without the meds. In my case I have good mobility for the first 3 repetitions and by the 5th time my speed is at half and the weight I could pick up is at about 1/4. Three t3's over 8 hours makes 10 reps possible but then it is questionable if I should drive. I walk and take the pills, if I drove I would be walking and that is when I need the pain meds the most as driving was the main part of my duty, paying attention to where you were was just above that. They don't do anything for the balance issue but that is a different issue.
If it happened to make more for this song then that is a side effect that you can get used to as it should have happened long ago if you were firing on all brain cells like you claim.
Perhaps if it was given to them before the said beating happened. Then the next time the pill was offered he would relate to the pain the beating caused that the pill didn't cover and then he would stop the annoying behavior. When he flinches when the pill comes into sight the treatment has gone as far as it can be taken.
Perhaps some identifier could be worn that showed what kind of drug you were on would be used to advertise the drug and if people could stand you then the odds are they will want that on their prescription list also. It can go along with the decals of corporations the politicians have to show for the cameras before starting any public statement.
News anchors would be especially useful as they are in the public eye on a daily basis, rather than pictures of family they can have the drug logos on display instead.
Really?? Even after seeing what fine results came out of it when it was used on them, I'm shocked. Parenting has a long ways to go. For starters I think you end up with a smarter child if the smarter parent is the one that spends most of the time interacting with the child, especially in the 0-6 yr range as other children begin to be the main influence about then. The better balanced the child is the less f*ck-ups they will make later in life and that is good for society overall.
Did I mention that becoming a parent is admitting you don't have a life and have decided to make yourself a thankless slave for the rest of your life part? (for both parents so don't think the dummer one gets off easier)
