I never hardly took any pills until I was diagnosed with afib and chf. I feel like a walking pharmacy

Yep, I have a slew of problems. Besides my pills, I have inhalers (2), Oxygen and he put me on insulin once per week about a month ago, which is really dropping my numbers. My A1C went from 12.5 to 7.9. Talking about upping that, but not for now. I was also put on pain meds for my back and arthritis in both legs and hips. Gee, I just can NOT wait for 70! LOL! Just around the corner. UGH! You all have a great day and no choking on the meds!😁

Like most of you, I am on meds each day. There is a cure for some heart-related things but not for others it just all depends. The purpose of the meds is to improve the quality of the life you have left and for me that is all I really ask for. Hugs🤗

BillieHughes, I take a ton of pills and they always ask if I am taking whatever pills for this or that. I finally wrote them all down and looked each one up, so I knew what they did. Too many pills. Good luck with yours and hope you don't get anymore.
