“I wish you were right, but here’s my daily list. Without many of them, I’d be dead.”
The caveat is “within reason”. Meds all have side effects, some are not worth the side effects. Others are essential, side effects be darned. Sorry that you require so much medication, but if it keeps you going, that’s all that matters.
It took me a long time to get used to the 80mg of Atorvastatin, up from 29, but with 5 stents in my heart (”full metal jacket”), I had no choice, except a quad bypass, which I was too sick to undergo. My health went sideways in 2016, l and so much hospitalization and 15+ operations, it’s stable now.
I’m in God’s waiting room, but He hasn’t called me into His office, just yet.
