Quite a list!

Are some of these temporary?

It has to be a challenge, just keeping track of bottles, dosages, etc.

[RedMonqey]

How do you carry all those drugs?

Tractor-trailer or C130 airlift?

“Sucks to be you”? Nah, you’re still above ground and here with your FRiends. That never sucks.

That is quite a list. I am glad it is helping you, but saddened for the sheer numbers of medicines involved.

I would hope you could minimize or eliminate some of those, but it would take a few doctors time to sort it all out.

I know someone who went from over 25 prescriptions from the VA to just one. He had been overmedicated for years and was given meds to counter side effects, to then get meds to counter the new drugs’ side effects.

He's doing fine, now.

Can I ask what is causing the pain you have? Also, what is the reason for your steroids? Finally, did you note a reason for stomach acid issues?

I have been taking a variety of Vitamins, Minerals and other Supplements for over 50 years. I am currently a healthy 83 and only taking 75 mg, Levothyroxin in the pharmaceutical category. I recognized some of the medication you are taking, but wonder what they are ALL supposed to accomplish.

I first noticed Nystatin, which is specific for candida albicans. The best way to get rid of candida is to go on a very low carbohydrate diet. The candida then die, but while dying scream FEED ME, FEED ME, so it is important to resist that for the week it takes most of them to die. The worse your candida is, the louder they will scream at you. You can use the Atkins diet, especially the first phase to find what is suitable food. You can also read labels and make sure you don’t eat more than 20 grams of carbohydrate a day. Thus no bread, potato, rice, cookies, chips (except cucumber chips), cake, candy, or fruit and fruit juices. Basically, fish, foul, meat and eggs, and low carb vegetables like celery, lettuce, kale, cucumbers, etc. Modest amounts of olive oil, butter, and sunflower seed oils are usable. Many salad dressings have only 2 grams of carbs for 2 tablespoons, but others are much higher. If you get a basic Atkins diet book it lists carb values for many foods, as well as tasty low carb meals.

Since candida causes many different ills, you may find that you will need a lot less of your other medicines if you can get rid of candida. Your doctor should work with you to remove or lower medications as your health improves with candida removal.

Regarding supplements, I see Centrum Silver Multi-Vitamins, but you should be taking a Vitamin/Mineral one daily formula, perhaps morning and evening. I use Walmart’s Equate which has a formula similar to Centrum, but less expensive. I see you have Vitamin C 1000 mg. (1 gram). Dr. Robert Cathcart (Google him) suggests that normally healthy people should take 4 grams a day taking 1 gram every six hours. I have been taking 4 to 7 grams a day for over 50 years for my allergies—house dust, molds, and cigarette smoke among others. One of his links has a table of high doses which can be used for a number of different illnesses.
