How Many Pills do you take?

As an old guy with many operations and removals and a quad by-bass operation I take EIGHT different pills daily, one is done twice and one three times a day. An extra one for pain which is why I quit the racing of the 914-6 as it wasn't safe to do any longer.

How about you all, anyone beat me?
John

Age 67....zero until today.
Had my second Pfizer shot yesterday and I'm eating aspirins every two hours. The headache is the worst I think I've had. But, I normally never get a headache. Not sure what's up with that.


I didn't count the daily GNC mens vitamin I take.

Age 77...4 in the morn, adding one every other day. Two of them again at night. That's the prescription stuff. 5 supplement pill daily, all suggested by the P.A., she my "primary care" gal.

That may all end soon. Had a blow up at the clinic when there for a scheduled blood draw. Bum ticker gives me a real problem with the mask. Get dizzy from lack of oxygen after a few minutes in one. I've had 2 modurna shots...why still the mask need?
Because our governor, aka Kommisar Kate says so, I guess.

Told the lab girl I was getting dizzy, asked if I could mask cheat a bit...she said no. I then cancelled, went out a nearby door, removed mask, took deep breaths until the dizzy went away. Drove home.

Bottom line...as I type, I don't know if I have medical care available anymore. Without the blood draw results, P.A. won't prescribe meds. I have about a month of meds left.

So, I may be finding out what life without blood thinners, blood sugar modifiers, blood pressure pills, etc. is like. Hell, for all I know, I might feel better without them!

64: One pill for the last 30 years due to an inverted T Wave on my EKG, I have had the issue my entire life, apparently.

That's it for now.

1.fish oil tablet
2.baby aspirin
3.cholestorol
4.blood pressure
5.multi vitamin

Been taking these once a day for about 10 years now . The blood pressure and cholesterol are taken as a precaution , doc says may or may not be needed but wants to error on the side of caution .
