Just remember feeling pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong

FOAD, FDA. I guess it takes 20 years for everybody to forget the maleficence of medical ope Drs, pharmacopeia and retail pharmacy industry?

I never felt high just relief that my pain wasn’t as bad. One doctor one prescription a month.

This is virtually a commercial. how do we know it's not addictive? every major news outlet is jumping for joy bragging about it, lets see in five years

Many folks can't take NSAIDs (ie. ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin, Aleve, Motrin, etc) for the relief of back pain (yours truly) because they are taking blood thinners for another condition. I view this new medicine as a way around the problem. The only negative that I see right away is the price per pill is around $15. Ouch!

Why did the headache break up with its victim after taking Journavx?

Because Journavx made it disappear without even saying goodbye!

I hope this medication helps, but they always throw out these new meds, like Suboxen not supposed to be addictive and a wonder drug for 🎉 that was a lie!
