Whether you like it or not, the mind and body *are* inseparably linked,
and more likely than not, your instant chemical cure will have effects
not limited to curing your cramp.  For example, it may have sedative
effects, so that you sleep through your alarm and are late for work.
Your mind is hardly able to function in such conditions.
