Biaxin; regimen

[cjsmith]

Yes Biaxin causes stomach upset. Yay.
Yes Biaxin causes (or exacerbates) insomnia. Sleep aids, coming right up.

Regimen, for those who like to point and laugh:
Morning - 5 pills vitamin D3, 1 injection vitamin B12 (also inject kitty with insulin)
8am - 500mg Biaxin, with food
2pm (as far from the Biaxin as possible) - probiotic
8pm - 500mg Biaxin, with food (also give kitty insulin and 1/2 tablet Enalapril for blood pressure)
8pm 1x/week - fluconazole
Bedtime - hormones, sleeping pill

There's no way to keep this organized without little pill minders, so I'm carrying those again. I'm really not supposed to be this old yet. I was supposed to get a decade or two of middle age.

Yeah, I'm not supposed to be this old, either. =( And I think I'm younger than you, too.

Between 1996-2005 I took only ONE pill daily, for my thyroid. Before that, I took no daily pills.

2005-2006 I began taking 3 sets of pills daily: one once for my thyroid, one once for asthma, and one 2x/day for high blood pressure.

Since 2006, I have been taking the 3 sets of pills listed above, plus an additional morning pill for my thyroid, plus 2 antibiotics twice a day, plus probiotics and Prevacid, a stomach acid reducer.

Whee.

Not.

It is what it is. If this is what I have to do to keep going, well, I do it.

If my quality of life is less without these drugs, then I don't see that I have much choice.

Amen. That's basically it. If I have to take this pile of pills and one injection per day, then I'll do it. It's better than the alternative. I do envy healthy people though. Envy is not a pretty trait, but there it is. :-(
