The truth however is that to choose the pill is to choose uncertainty. There is no certainty that the drug you choose for your symptoms will work, less certainty that it will work for years into the future, and no certainty that it won't cause you further issues that will be remedied by a different pill, and on it goes. Some things can't be fixed by exercise, so take the pills. Some things can, it's probably best to take the exercise. If it doesn't work, the pills are still waiting for you. I guess what I'm saying is: exercise is misery, but not preventing damage is delayed misery of uncertain magnitude.
