We have two drawers full of medications all for me😱 so I did a quick calculation of what I have each week. The result for each week is
An average 56 injections
49 eye drops (for one eye)
105 tablets plus painkillers

Oops seems rather a lot when I write it like that:D
 
WOW, that is a lot...........

Of a week I take up to 35 injections and 14 pills................:D
 
And worth the effort for the benefit of your health...

Do the tablets not rattle as you walk ? 😛

Wow I bet you shake and rattle when you walk, you poor thing and my old dad, 87, moans about taking 5 tablets in the morning!

You are a real inspiration :D

The grandmother of my wife to be is on a staggering amount of pills, half of which she does not need, she is in her 70s and has had both legs chopped due to bad circulation and infection, she has had a heat bypass too, so there are a few pills to accompany those events but the rest, probably painkillers of some kind are too much, if she could walk, I am sure she would be quite noisy........:D
 
I thought that someone on the forum would be on more than me but I'm glad that nobody is......I must admit that you I've just got in the habit of taking them at regular intervals - get up in the morning simultaneously put in the eye drops whilst injecting and swallowing the tables - all finished in 10 secords......well maybe not quite that quickly🙄
