Ass Effects

I often have the tv on while I’m on computer. My computer is on the opposite wall, thus my back is towards the tv. Usually it’s not too bad…I have a pretty good imagination, so I can visualization what I need to as I listen.

Until today. Heard a new commercial for what I thought was ‘Ass Effects’. WTH???? Is it for colon cleansing? Constipation medication? Liposuction? Exercise machines? And how the heck can they say ‘ass’ on before prime-time television?

So I had to turn around…it’s ‘aciphex’. For acid reflux.   I really wonder about the way they name medicines. Have you ever heard of ‘Premarin’? It’s hormone therapy for menopausal women. It’s made from pregnant mare’s urine.  No thanks, I’ll take my hormone replacement therapy from Jack. Daniels, that is. And I’ll let my ass take care of itself.

    I’m actually on Premarin. Given the level of my hot flashes, I’d have drunk it from the source to get rid to them. Better living through chemistry, my motto since junior high.

    I always thought that Boniva was a name better suited to an erectile dysfunction drug than an osteoporosis treatment.

    Premarin saved my life. Once I got on the right dose, I was no longer in pain all the time, no longer sweating enough to drown a mid-sized country, no longer angry or weeping all the time, and my migraines went away. The other positive was that my sex drive went through the roof. Sadly, my ex and I were on different pages and he wasn’t interested, which was probably just as well since we were splitting up anyway. Made my next man very happy though.

    There are a lot of reasons to start taking Premarin and if I had to go on it again, I would. Without hesitation.
