hi @becymel .... i must be in a bad mood today, lol but I am getting quite concerned about taking ANY meds these days! I realize medicine's benefits but so many side effects, short term effects, long term effects... and then some side effects are treated by doctors (not critisizing them) ...the doctors treat some side effects as another illness and another prescription and it seems to snowball from there. I have never taken as many pills (still not a lot compared to my spouse and others) but I have never ever worried as much taking medications ever before. The Internet has been a valuable source of information, could not do without it, but of course conflicting information on various sites its mind-bobbling. Even here in Canada re the vaccine for Covid, news bulletin issues and can go to sleep at night assured that your decision is based on fact; wake up to conflicting information - from reliable source like Health Canada, and opposite and then have to rethink it all. I just retyped my spouses daily list of am and pm meds (15) although he is ambulatory (heart surgery Nov) and I cringe. They had the stone age; industrial revolution, etc. etc. what are we going to be known as... the medical mystery marvelous madening miracle misery mixed up generation? Anyone here scared to even start reading the ingredients on things any more .... even food items? Where's the nearest rabbit hole??????
