Hi Ray,
I had to stop all meds for a breath test recently and never restarted most of them.
I'm noticeable better off meds, but then the organs complain!
Facing not seeing 2025 so it really only matters that I take the BP pill to keep the intense migraine at bay, for my sanity. More often than not I'm getting less than desirable days now, but on a good day I try to take full advantage of the time available. With ANS more in control of me than I am, I just make do with what I can at the time. I could forego everything but the BP meds and nothing would change. Been living with negative stats for everything with no meds for well over 30 years and I'm still here. Not even 15 TIA's over 3 days last year could slow me, just kept on chugging along.
I'm getting a bigger collection of health issues as time goes on and am not sure what to do with them! They don't bother me and I don't think about them often, I'm beyond caring now. I work with the thought if I wake up on a day then I'll deal with what comes my way. If I don't wake up I'm pretty sure I won't be too concerned.
Cheers.

Hi, @cheyne–– Sometimes, it seems like aging is all about collecting things: health issues, most definitely; also, the names, phone numbers, and office addresses of all sorts of specialists; appointments, test results, prescriptions, and 'assistance' devices like walkers, canes, braces, orthotics, hearing aids––the list goes on and on. Seeing my own personal collection starting to grow, a couple of years ago (but when it was already too late), I attempted a little medical clutter-clearing: fewer specialists, fewer prescriptions, fewer appointments, etc. It wasn't too long before I realized that my attempt at medical clutter-clearing was a lost cause. Alas. ––Ray (@ray666)
