Good evening @lacy2, nice to read your very active story. I live in snow country in the midwest. My landing grounds have always been in and around beaches, sunshine, and warm weather. This is very new for me. We had a sunny day today.....and folks thought I wasn't appreciative enough. It is a good thing I have you to chat with on Connect. What else would I be doing when it is 19 degrees and cloudy?

Last year I had the experience of tapering off one medication and ramping up a new one. That was quite confusing for me. I messed it up a couple of times.....wrong dose, wrong time, etc. My worst experience was with Ambien which I just went off cold turkey. I ended up wandering around Costco looking for a home. My surgeon was very concerned because he thought that at my age I would have known better than to try that one. He took responsibility and was careful to become more involved in the medication education.

You're so right to acknowledge the breadth of experiences we have access to here on Connect. Keep telling your stories. You are appreciated by many.

May you be content and at peace.
Chris
