Enough with all of the negative talk about prescription pills and vitamins – they are absolutely necessary for the Chronic Pain community. Without them, I could not do my job, and honestly, I would lose way more than that.

Thanks to relentless brain fog, I know exactly what happens when I get off track with my meds. The outcome is catastrophic. Without my pills, my hands stiffen like lobster claws, my feet feel like they’re on fire, my joints and muscles scream for relief and the pain in my eyelashes, hair, nails, and skin is so intense, moving one inch is a “10” on the torture scale.

Without my pills, I’m confined to my bed… permanently.

My pills are tiny little heroes that help me live a normal life, and now, they can be tiny little heroes to others in need. Claus Moeldrup, a former professor of social pharmacy, has created a way to generate actual cash, just for taking our meds. Not only that but the more pills and vitamins we take, the more money we earn!

“Giving by taking” is Claus’s big idea and DrugStars is the way to do it. DrugStars is a genius app that turns big pharma money into funds for charities when we take our meds. These are charities that aim to prevent and relieve the consequences of cancer, digestive issues, heart disease, diabetes, rheumatic disease and more. It’s an incredible way to make a difference with just the touch of a button.

In a nutshell, 1 dose = 1 cent. I calculated that a person taking six pills/vitamins, four times a day would contribute almost $1,000 in ten years ($876 to be exact). With one million of the 100 million Americans suffering from Chronic Pain doing the same, we will raise over $87,600,000 in just one year and almost $1B in 10 years!

Finally, a reason to brag about our meds and walk out of the drug store with our heads held high!

Another life-changing perk — when you join forces with DrugStars, you’ll be reminded each time you should take your pills, so no more missing your meds. Take THAT, brain fog!!

All you need to do is:

Reminders will pop up on your phone when the time comes. There is NO catch, take my word for it and try it yourself.

Who would have thought that we Chronic Pain sufferers could turn our pain into progress for ourselves and others?
