I quit the steroid nasal and inhalers I was using this winter to get over a chronic cough, and stopped taking Aleve twice a day (for knee and back pain) just after Christmas. The scale has started to move again, and my pain actually isn't any worse. It was for the first few days, then evened out. Same has for the lungs and nasal passages. Were a little congested, and rough feeling for a few days, but then cleared.

Now I only take pain meds if absolutely unbearable. Other than than, NO way.
