Hi there. Im Virginia. Im just coming in to get some refills on my medications. Im taking
something for the diabetes, issues with my heart, arthritisrheumatoid, but I bet Im going to
have the other kind soon tooand asthma. Let me see, did I forget anything? [pause thinking]
Oh, yeah, high cholesterol. Thats from being fat, Im sure.
I think thats all, but I have maybe 20 pills a day I take, plus the inhalers and the arthritis
injection once a week. So, Im not sure?
I have been following the heart heathy diet they prescribed a while back and while I didnt lose
any weight, I havent been gaining anything either.
I know Im getting up there in age and my aches and pains are getting worse, but its getting hard
to keep track of everything Im taking. Do you think maybe I dont have to take everything? I
know my inhalers and the Enbrel. Thats easy since its the only injection and only once a week.
But I dont really understand the medications for everything else.
