Hopefully some of you have already read about this, but I wanted to post about it here to get as much support for this issue as possible.

Please sign the American Pain Foundation petition calling for education rather than a change in regulation before Sunday, September 27:

Acetaminophen: Educate, Do Not Regulate

You can get more information at the blog post I wrote last week about this:

Please spread the word to everyone you possibly can. Thanks!

Diana

Done deal. I feel kind of like I wrote them a mini-novel, but this issue really riles me. It's not fair for those of us that are responsible with our meds to lose them due to others being irresponsible with theirs. Soap Box

This needs to not be an issue about how "evil" the med is. The problem isn't the med. If it was, we'd all have problems due to it's ingestion. The problem is that a few people make choices to misuse the medication, either out of indifference or ignorance. The focus should be on individual accountability and individual consequences, I'd say. Better education and labeling can address the ignorance issue. Natural consequences are the fallout of individual choice out of indifference.

Okay. I'll climb down now. Big Grin
