For me it's really about whether life would be WORTH LIVING without the help that the drug can provide. I think most folk have absolutely no idea what serious, long-term, chronic, and *severe* pain can do to someone. If I'm already at the point where I can calmly say I'd rather not live than go back to that, then a small risk of death does seem better than not taking the Aleve.
