In summer I cycle 25 -30 miles a day I have done 2000 miles every year since transplant. Probably one of the reasons I got the transplant so fast cause I was in good shape and hospitals want successes to put in their win column. Congrats on getting the new filter! Woke up from getting mine on 4-1-01 at the time and with that pain thought it was the biggest April Fool's joke. I'm down to the one mg immuno, the BP Rx that is a result of the immuno for ten years. Take supplements to make up for not eating right three times a day every day. I was in great shape otherwise but it took 19 months on the list in Tampa, FL. When labs were done thrice a week that first year saw two that I was acquainted with not make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC39693 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 1 prescription each; pill, eye drop, inhaler. As long as the right one gets to the right place I feel pretty good at 66. Amarone will cure everything else that ails me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Just an aside: in Canada, it’s illegal to advertise prescription drugs on TV (or radio, too, I think). This is to prevent patients from self-prescribing by seeing an ad and then demanding that their doc give them the wonder drug they’ve seen advertised dozens of times. Rather than lose a patient, the doc will sometimes go along with it, and then the patient’s health could end up being at risk. Hearing the long lists of possible side effects (strange fevers and inflammations, death, etc. DEATH???) is amusing and creepy at the same time. How desperate would a person have to be before they beg for a drug that they know only by its ad campaign? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were the case in the US of A the network nightly news shows would have No sponsors - .

Although that does paint a rosy picture - Instead of ads for prescription drugs, we get ads from the president of the electricians’ union, looking for workers, or mattress and furniture store ads, brake and muffler shops, grocery store chains. The usual, right? BC is a bit short-handed for workers in several specialties. Years ago, there was no work here, so many BC workers moved to Alberta and started new lives there. Now there’s lots of work here, with condo towers popping up on every former parking lot. We still have some multi-level parking lots, but the typical ground-level ones are nearly all gone.

True, although grown in California it is a product of JFC (Japan Food Crporation), a subsididiary of Kikkoman, a Japanese company. My point was the humor of the Chinese market selling a Japanese brand. We get ours at a store that is named Asian Food & Gifts, and they have products, as most do, from a multitude of asian countries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although that does paint a rosy picture - Oh, but in America, we take it a step further with the ads - these literally say ""ask your doctor if Fukitol is right for you", and it's so ubiquitous that Comedian Bill Maher will look into the camera and say as a joke to the audience (as he advocates for legal cannabis) "ask your doctor if cannabis is right for you" - as a comedic thing, AND also in a sort of literal sense. And the viewer completely "gets" both "sides" of the observation, because that phraseology is as present in drug ads as stop signs are on city streets. Bill Maher also reminds us that you can get all of the drugs you want in America - legally in fact - so long as you "let the professionals do it." That's why it's "ask your doctor........."

JJkizak Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 One of the few things that actually work for me besides aspirin are Bayer Back & Body pain for the gout when it acts up. Two 500 mlg. capsules every 6 hours and the gout is gone the next day. The stomach get s bit cranky though. JJK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezin' Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Got a serious issue with blood pressure-3 different pills a day-2 AM-1 PM. And a baby aspirin before bedtime. Don't like it but I'd be dead without it. Killed my Uncle and contributed to Dad's early demise. Only male in the family to make it past 42 w/o a heart attack or stroke. Been living on borrowed time going on 35 years now. No complaints.................well none that would matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
