Glyburide, Actos, Nephrocaps, Renegel, Plavix, I don't remember the rest, they're on the other side of the house and I'm too lazy to go look. The problems they cure are high blood sugar, cholesterol, and kidney related problems.

At 72, I do not take any pharmaceuticals but I do take a number of supplements- type, brand and dose as determined by my trusty pendulum. I do not ask the pendulum about chocolate, which this woman runs on! I have been environmentally poisoned and detox frequently. I was recently termed "hyperactive" by a couple HS students who were helping me move.

I'm trying to find out where to sign up for medical marijuana. Sounds like fun - although I still haven't gotten up the nerve to try marijuana in any iteration.
It's been eight years since I had a security clearance, so I don't need to worry any more about losing it.

Good grief. We appear to be lucky that we have you here at all.

I am 73. Medications I take? None.

(Oh, I'm smarmy, me.)

The only one I could not do without is Diprosalic ointment. It wouldn't kill me to be without it, but I might...

Ain't nuttin' wrong with me that being 17 years younger wouldn't cure.

Well, there are the medications I take, vs. the medications I'm supposed to take. I"m not supposed to take a whole slew, and would be in big trouble if I was, because I have a hard time making myself take medications on a regular basis, have problems with side effects and a lousy insurance plan with a $5000 deductible that makes me reluctant to go back to the good doctor when I have trouble tolerating side effects.

I'm supposed to take lovastatin 20 mg. qd
Aspirin 81 mg. qd
Zolpidem 10mg qhs prn
sertraline 50 mg qd
1500 mg. calcium citrate with magnesium qd.
Ibuprofen, 800mg, bid
glucosamine sulfate

The only pharmacoligical agents I seem to be sure to get into my body everyday are nicotine, caffeine, and vino.

I wish I could imitate his voice but my old neighbor was hobbling over to his ride and bitching at me that "I goota go to the doctor just so he can give me meds just so I can go to the doctor again to get more meds."

This kinda' came up on another thread and it reminded me of the old days when we were getting to know each other and ran a ton of this type of thread which culminated with Art Thieme (as a joke because he was disgusted) asking what condoms Mudcatters used.....It of course became a Mudcat Classic.

Here I'm just curious as a lot of us have had health problems or age problems or both!!! LOL............Don't get uptight and you don't have to play.....this is just for fun. You don't have to name them unless you want to and simply the number of prescription meds will do.

In my case, I don't care so I'll go first. I take 9 different prescription meds daily and some twice a day. Here's the list:

Nexium Caps 40MG (x2)
Lovastatin Tabs 40MG
Digoxin Tabs 0.125MG
Spironolactone Tabs (Aldactone) 25MG
Furosemide Tabs (Lasix) 40MG (x2)
Enalapril Mal Tabs (Vasotech) 20MG (x2)
Carvedilol Tabs (Coreg) 25MG (x2)
Potassium Chlor Er Tabs 20MEQ (x2)
