Tylenol

A decade ago, most people thought of Tylenol (acetaminophen) as a medicine for fever, malaise and minor aches and pains.

There is an urgent need for research in the area of pain management. Since the 1890s, when aspirin and heroin were discovered, there has been agonizingly little progress in this field.

Well, this was sure eye-opening.

It should be fairly clear that I'm not a big fan of Tylenol.

The anti-opioid crusade remains alive and well (unlike the pain patients who are the victims of it).

Those of you who have been following the phony opioid crisis already know that nothing makes sense. Those of you who follow the madness that is called Proposition 65 in California also know that nothing makes sense.

My mother is one of the "lucky ones." She has a devoted family and caretaker, is able to live in her own home, and doesn't have to worry about choosing between food and prescription medications.
