Anyone on Meds?

Hooray! ... just got off of ulcer pills and now only take blood pressure pills.
Now if I could just figure out how to reduce my blood pressure.
SLYinKC:
I think I mentioned this in another thread, but I'll mention again. I always used to pride myself in not taking any prescriptions unless I got cold/flu and needed antibiotic or something like that. Since the heart cath and stent I now have Plavix for at least a year and Crestor until something better comes along to control my cholesterol levels and a full strength aspirin every day.
tomgallagher:
I had Plavix prescribed for me also after a stent was put in.

Yeh, I'm on drugs, they seem to accumlate like years! Several years ago when I got the diagnosis of borderline or pre-diabetes, although no "diabetes" drugs, I got put on Zocor, and 81mg asprin---Kiddy Stuff, as well as amitriptoline for nerve pain in my feet caused by the elevated blood sugars, and HCTZ for "borderline" high blood pressure. (I'm so borderline, I need to take my passport to go to the john!) Long story short, 20# lighter, blood sugar now less than 105 fasting for last couple of years and A1C below 6. I couldn't take the Zocor it made me a zombie, no energy at all. The Doc changed that to Zetia--and although expensive, my colesterol is now less than 200, and the good type is 45, more than the required number. My amitriptoline morphed into Topomax when the ami stopped working, and Topomax was GREAT, I lost more weight w/o trying, but it finally pooped out too, so now I'm on Lyrica, but although the pain is under control again, I've gained 10-15#. It's one of the side effects. The blood sugar is still okay, but now I'm really watching the diet because of the weight.
Yes, I'm on pills, but they seem to be working, provided I exercise like an obsessive idiot, and eat oatmeal like a horse for breakfast. Drinks are limited, so I buy the best. But I'm alive, and no other problems. Life is sweet, Sly is a hoot, laisse les bonnes temps roulez cher!
Bald_freak:
I probably should be heavily medicated, but that crap cost too much.
