?? Okay, I'm 65, soon to be 66. I have MS, but also other health issues. Therein lies my problem (I think!).
I take numerous pills. BP, Thyroid, Cholesterol, etc.
It embarrasses me.
I'm just wondering if anyone else here has a long list of pills.
I moved to where i currently live 7 yrs. ago. I took two pills at the time. One for low thyroid and one for hormone replacement therapy.
I had the same BP then that I had for most of my life. Yes, I guess it's too high, but my other docs didn't feel it warranted treating. Same with my cholesterol.
I have a genetic predisposition to high chol. but my mom didn't treat hers. My Dad did, plus he had three heart by pass surgeries, 10 yrs apart. He lived till he was just short of his 84th b'day.
My Grandmother who probably had high cholesterol,but didn't treat it lived to 91.
I'm so miserable taking the pills. I can't take the statins so the medication I take means 6 (huge) pills a day.
With the MS meds (Copaxone and Nuvigil) and all the others my day is broken up into segments of pill taking.
I have various side effects from most all the meds.
Wonder if anyone else has this situation?
