Snake Oils and our conversion story…
I love medicines. I love feeling like I am being proactive when getting sick. I love trying to force my family to “take something” when they are feeling stuffy, achy, nauseous, etc, etc. I guess it is the powerless feeling of seeing someone you love hurt and not being able to do anything to help.

So I stay up and watch her sleep all sweaty and sick sans medication as her body does what bodies do… heal itself. The fever tackling the infection.
