Thanks for the cautionary note and yes - I have checked with my pharmacist and primary care provider.

But serious - the count is up there. Five Rx in the morning, 4 at night. That's nine, before counting prescribed vitamins and supplements such as NAC and D3, plus 3 Amy Meyer vitamins, 2 citruleine, 2 quercitin, zinc, 3 mineral blend, melatonin, 3 magnesiums, an antacid some nights, an antihistamine 1 or 2X day, and thrtee times a week, ALC.

It's ridiculous, I know. But every bit is researched and run past my pharm D who is a good one and a good friend. I even wrote a little song about it.

Here goes - it's called The Medicare Waltz [ (c) 2022 Chuck Stranahan ]

People greet me and tell me that I’m looking great
I say thanks, but it’s all a charade
I’m a testimony to the procedures and prescriptions
Provided by Medicare B,C,D and A

I’ve got pills and prescriptions of every description
Two kinds of blue ones and three shade of tan
And two kinds of white ones and one little yellow one
And a pentagonal pink one both A and PM

There’s one little square one and sev-e-ral round ones
Torpedo-shaped capsules and football-shaped tabs
With unresearched side-effects and a rare interaction
That once caused an explosion at an FDA lab

But I’m told not to worry, “They’re safe and effective!”
“Trust the science!” the FDA scientists scream
And why not? Their payola comes straight from big pharma
As they stuff us with pills and suspicious vaccines

So I take prescribed pills and OTC potions
For every conceivable ailment and ache
I’ve been marinated and mummified, petrified and fossilized
I’m well Medicared for while I decay
