Then step out of your comfort zone a moment, Jill, and try to imagine
what things might be like for you if your medical issues could not be
successfully managed in any way other than the recommended medication
regimen. I use Advair, which has quite serious side effects including
respiratory arrest. It's incredibly ironic, since Advair is meant to
reduce airway constriction and inflammation of asthma but can cause
asthma attack. But the stuff works to make my breathing easier, and if I
continue to use it as recommended it will continue to do so. Risks
versus benefits, Jill. By the same token, the risks of using erectile
dysfunction medications are NOT worth the risks associated with them.
Okay, personal priorities have something to do with that opinion, and I
believe resolutely that it is far more important for me to breathe than
for some old geezer to get it up. I'm just sayin'.
