I miss Doritos and Pepsi ads. Capri Suns ads. Six Flags ads.

Last week I saw an ad for a medication for Schizophrenia. Like what?

Or the 15 different ones for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. That shit came out of nowhere

"Moderate to severe plaque psoriasis" must have had a huge boom when I was a lad watching tv at night, I can hear the voice-over now

As a lady who has this bullshit, and also loves watching football… I hate those ads. Just reminds me like hey you have some spots on your legs that are ugly as fuck and guess what none of these drugs help! ;(

Drug/pharmaceutical ads in general are so ridiculous in this country. If everyone could afford a good doctor, we wouldn’t have to watch this crap!

They may as well put a big middle finger on the screen and say "For the low price of $2,500/dose!"

If you’re poor, get fucked! Lololol. I got a new dermatologist that shot my legs up full of steroids because 4 years of the same derm telling me to use clobetasol just didn’t work.

It’s actually clearing up alright, cost me 65 bucks after insurance… but now I have bruises from where he stuck me like 12 times

Cannot win. Phuck psoriasis I swear tg

Glad something is working! I looked up Skyrizi because I had no clue what it was. Floored by the fucking cost

I am not a doctor obviously- but my new derm said to stay away from medicine like that. Who knows man where to get a straight answer from. I’ve been to so many doctors- I will say it’s nice to have someone who listens.

Shade throwing- I went to Austin Skin Care and they totally fucked me up. They took the deepest biopsy that I now have a huge scar from, and now they won’t answer my phone calls without another $250 appointment. Last time I’ll let anyone touch me that “hey she is in training to be a new doctor! Can she take the biopsy?” I’m an idiot. She carved a hole in my leg. Aaaaaaaaa
