fda says you're dead

it turns out that the eczema medicine i've been using causes cancer. i will say that it did work great at curing my stubborn skin disorder. too bad it has to kill you in order to do that.

according to their regulations, the med will stay on the shelf but will be in the dreaded "black box", which means use only if there are no other options for you. this i don't quite get. i mean if this were a treatment for hiv or malaria, i could understand keeping it on the shelf, but for bad skin? to me this sounds a lot like the cure being worse than the condition.

i also sit here wondering if i should try and do anything about it. it's kind of annoying that things just turn out to be deadly. i googled elidel and noticed that there is already some ambluance chaser who's set up a website to try and put together some litigious folks that he can get a contingency fee off of. fucking lawyers. they're another type of cancer altogether.
