I have friends that are on more medication than my 75 year old mother! They take meds for heart issues, meds for high cholesterol, meds for depression, meds for anxiety, meds for pain, and the patch to quit smoking (DUH) and probably others I'm forgetting. I should have shares in a Canadian pharmacy. Seriously!
I've been extremely fortunate, in that I'm relatively healthy, even though for much of my adult life, I've not taken the best "care" of myself. I have a lot of osteoarthritis, but for the most part, that's largely from all the years of recklessly playing sports. I really can't complain much about my pain level, as sadly, since I've quit exercising, it's improved, even though I've put on a PILE of weight! I don't even take meds anymore. I have high blood pressure, because I'm too fat, but I've not been put on meds yet. I wonder how long until I fall apart and need one of those little drug holders to keep track of my pills!
