Pulmonologist says I should be dead by now

Hi,
I'm slowly gaining back a life after dumping most of my meds. I seem to have become reactive to most medications these days. Stopped my insulin about a month ago and confirmed it was causing me to sit around unable and unwilling to do anything much less care too much about anything. Sure my glucose levels dropped but so did my will power. Dr's didn't believe me so this was the second and final time I have stopped it. If I wasn't dead I'd swear I'm 39 again! I wake up in the morning crippled and ill but ready and willing to work. My BP is sky high, glucose levels are constantly high and I'm high on life. Seems to me that work might be just the medication I need. Do I enjoy the comfort for a shorter life, or do I medicate, feel like crap and last longer. Then of course my Dysautonomia could chime in and stop it all in an instant or I might just die naturally despite it all, tomorrow. Ahh that's right, tomorrow never comes, so I guess I'm kind of stuffed. Logically then I would have to die today but I'm to late because it is now midnight and I'm becoming part of yesterday today or am I part of today tomorrow. Whatever it is it will be some time. No wonder I get migraines!
Cheers

Hi Cheyne,
I really get what you mean about being "high on life." At times it seems strange to be "high on life" when we're technically "dead!" My pulmonologist was quite upset that I wasn't dead yet. He was so certain that I ought to be six feet under, that he all but pounded his fist on his desk in frustration.
Your choice to "dump most of my meds" is exactly where I have been for nearly two years. Like your situation, most of my meds made me worse.
Glad you are still here, among the "living dead" and finding a way to be high on life!
