“Hypochondria is the one disease I have not got.”

We’ve all seen the countless commercials for the prescription medicines that pop up everyday for all kinds of maladies .From those that have been around for ever like high blood pressure to hiccups, to those that seemed to have been concocted to validate the existence of a new drug .You know like “restless leg syndrome” or “masturbatorially linked carpal tunnel syndrome”.
And we’ve all heard the endless jokes on late night T.V. about the many side effects. Like “anal bleeding”(ha ha funny).
And why not joke? The side effects are often times more hideous than the disease that made you seek out the drug in the first place.
There is one drug out there that states there is a possibility that it will turn you into sex or gambling addict or both. Kinda scary huh?
But the one side effect that is listed among almost all of the drugs is the one that confuses me the most.

Example:
StopHiccup (Not a real product)

Side effects: Trouble passing urine

Loss of appetite

Insomnia
(Ever notice how the side effects of one drug make you need another drug?)

Hiccups
(Wait WHAT?!. I’m taking this to stop hiccupping)

Among the many side effects is listed the cause of the disorder you already have!
What they are saying is that there is a good chance that their product doesn’t work!
WHAT! I mean… WHAT!

So I have to go to the doctor to get a prescription for your product which my insurance company won’t pay for because it doesn’t consider “Chronic Anal Twitching (CAT)”
a legitimate disorder.
Now I take your product for a few months and no relief. What you’re telling me is that your product worked but the side effect is causing my anus to twitch?
Bull! Your product doesn’t work!
Yet these companies make millions.
Does Tylenol say may cause pain? NO!
Does McDonalds say may cause extreme hunger? NO!
Does Coke claim that their product won’t make your kid run around like a speed freak – NO!!

Why in the world would buy something that says it probably won’t WORK?!
WHY?!
