There will be so much restraint that nobody will be able to use it. I say let people understand the dangers and if they want to kill their liver, that's the contract they made with their own body and I don't see why their bad decision should prevent me from having an effective treatment for my pain. I am so sick and TIRED of not even having my health and wellness and ability to function and quality of life considered because someone ELSE was stupid with THIER body. I'm not them. Some people are alcoholic. I'm not an alcoholic, I can drink wine and stop. Some people celiac disease, I DON"T I can eat wheat and decide not to eat it. Let me have the tools that I can use , don't limit me cuz other people can't manage. That's not fair AT ALL. Why should I have to continue to suffer because someone else was stupid? It's so frustrating! Like do i have to lose my job, lose my house, and be homeless and disabled before I deserve to be considered for some kind of quality of life treatment? I just want to have something for my migraines that works. None of the abortives work. But I can't try this because someone took too much and damaged their liver. cmon man! Where is the personal responsibilty in all this. I can understand why some people self medicate with alcohol and other stuff. I hate that when I asked about the nasal version for migraines being told "That stuff is fun for paries." Oh REALLY? Cuz a migraine is the worst party ever and it's no fun, so yeah. I'd like to have the fun of being in less pain sometimes. I'll have a party in my own house when I can get up and wash my own dang dishes. Right now the only "parties" I'm attending are pity parties and I"m tired of being the guest of honor. Thanks for the Video!
