[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 30647, member: 1233"] I hate that the media goes overboard with some of the medical reports. Most medications have some dramatic story if you look hard enough. I know that when the reports about one eczema medication causing cancer came out many parents took their kids off the medication with-o talking to their docs. In reality, you have to EAT TUBES of the stuff to have the reactions that the media jumped on. My doctor actually READ the reports, gave me a copy to read, and we discussed the significance of the findings. This medication made my kids life much happier - it treated a painful problem with-o causing more pain. So many times the media does not give a complete picture. I find it irritating and scary, but I am lucky to have docs that actually can discuss most of the reports intelligently. Without medications my difficult child would be in jail. No doubt in my mind. And he wouldn't like himself much. I think that the constant second-guessing that we already do is hard enough on us. We really don't need biased media reports to "help" us. Hugs to all, susie [/QUOTE]
