Hello, Greg (@gregd1956),

I, too, have a slew of meds and would love to reduce the number by a quarter or a third. Of course, I won't do any reducing without my doctors' buy-in. The total of my daily pills was added to recently when I was in the hospital by doctors who were unknown to me (although I'm not doubting their best intentions). Before my hospitalization, my pill count (roughly reckoned) was four or five prescription meds and a half dozen supplements. Since my hospitalization, the count has risen to seven or eight prescription meds and a number nearing a dozen supplements (some are beverages). When I meet with my primary in a few weeks, I plan to place The List before us and ask, "Must I?" pill-by-pill. If I cannot reduce the number by at least a few, I'll soon need to replace my medicine chest with a Tuff Shed. 🙂

Hi, @ray666,
Meds, pills, drugs - I’m there. Before my TBI accident, 12 years ago, I had nothing except I had a med to keep - I had no idea; my memory is gone most of that from my bicycle accident.

I was healthy on my body & brain and was working well at my city, but before my bicycle accident.and yes, I take meds -like you and the rest of us. No pain know 2 mths away one if my doctors (most during my TBI accisdent) “fixed” my lower back from my rear-ends down to my feet. The pains gone - 5-% - and the other 5o% keeps me to exercise my lower body from my right-side from my knee to the bottom of foot.

Thx,
Greg D.
