Hey I am 47 and I have to have surgery for cataracts on both eyes in one to two years. I also got diabetes, high blood pressure, extremely high cholesterol and triglycerides (on two medications for that, two for the diabetes too) hypothyroidism, some sort of kidney problems that has not been diagnosed yet (still waiting on darn appointment, maybe they will get me in sometime between now and my death) and just garden variety bipolar one with ton of anxiety. All together I am on 9 different medications and 2 PRNs.

I am overweight too. Not sure if I should blame the bipolar meds or the hypothyroidism or a combo of both. I basically feel like crap and the other day I had my first bout of hypoglycemia because my stupid nurse did not warn me the glimepiride could cause it. She just doubled the dose a couple weeks ago. Didn't warn me or tell me a thing so I was blissfully unaware.

I Felt like death but luckily I ate some of my sons coco krispys before laying down. Probably saved my bacon. No more skipping meals for me. I got to start paying attention to when I eat better. Sorry everyone feels so bad. I am not as old as most of you but I can relate to some of it. Hugs to all.
