I could have been one of Pavlov’s dogs drooling over a bell. I’m quite sure a hypnotist could put me on stage and make me cluck like a chicken. So it should come as no surprise that all pills work for me, (at least in the beginning.) The placebo effect gets me every time. I’m always sure I’m so much better. Then the new wears off and I’m not so sure after all. I’ve only done this for decades. Trial and error, symptoms and side-effects. So I have learned to wait for my placebo friend to brighten my days, if only for a while. Sometimes that is just the break in the clouds I need to glimpse the sun again. LGR©8/7/17 |

This is completely the mind over matter relationship between you and the pills you take. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Pinkypollen, I'll use any excuse to feel better and run with it. That's why doughnuts will be the death of me yet. ~L |
