went and saw my dr. for A1c blood work and all that good stuff, I took all my meds and told her I couldn't take 41 pills a day. she said that since I been going to the pain clinic for cortisone shots that she was taking me off 16 pain pills and watch how everything goes. im happy for that, so I will take the meds if needed.
now she wants me to start taking the Vitamins I need for the after the surgery, so that will b a add on of 12 pills (don't like it) and to take the rest of my meds.
Calicum carbonate, Multivitamins, Iron, Vitamin d3, b12, Biotin.
