Hoping to get off these meds

[Mattymatt 491]

I am a walking profit model for Big Pharma. They see me and think, "Weez gonna get paid today!" On a more sober note, I really do want to get off of all of these meds. For diabetes, I take Metformin, Glipizide, and Lantus insulin. For the High Blood Pressure, I take a baby aspirin and Losartin. For the Depression and Anxiety, I take Seroquel and Remeron. Finally, I have my trusty sidekick, the CPAP for sleep Apnea. Sadly, I am noticing my average number of apneas per hour starting to uptick again. It used to be with the machine that I would average less than 1 apnea an hour and now I am up to about 3-4. Time to make an appointment with the sleep doc and maybe get my machine checked out.

Swallowing pills and stabbing myself with the insulin flexpen is really no way to live in the long term for someone only 40. I think if I did not see the humor in it, I would be in utter despair. If I could just reverse the Type 2 Diabetes and High Blood Pressure, that would be a victory.

How long have you been diabetic? I only take pill forms of insulin, so I can not even imagine! That was the final straw, diabetic. They are hopeful I will not need medication again. I have had high blood pressure since I am 30 (44 yo now). if my triglycerides got better, I would be thrilled. I take a whole regimen of meds also. Definitely making the pharm companies big bucks!

I'm a relatively new diabetic. I was just diagnosed on January 15th of this year. Well here's to better health and taking money away from Big Pharma! 😀
