I fixed my pill boxes for the week last night and as I sat there surrounded by all kinds medication…. I’m literally struggling with the vast amount of medications I take.

Diabetic, Asthma, high cholesterol, Tachycardia,psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis.CFS,Fibromyalgia Bipolar, PTSD, OCD, anorexia in remission, osteoporosis and spinal stenosis. Bone density loss requiring treatment.

I take 4 psych meds 2 twice a day. I take Metformin twice a day. I take a pill for my tachycardia twice a day. Cholesterol twice a day. Asthma inhalers 2 twice a day

I take Lyrica for my Fibromyalgia twice a day. I take a medication for my PsA twice a day

Between prescriptions meds and OTC meds I take 18-19 pills a day.

This is outrageous. My Doctor and I have sat down and reviewed them and we can’t find any to drop

I think I’m starting to have issuers with my kidneys.

I need to get an appt with a new GP this month. I just filled my last Lyrica

Just feeling very defeated.
