I use CVS Pharmacy to get my prescriptions. I take Benazepril HCL 20 mg, Avodart 0.5 mg, Tamsulosin HCL 0.4 mg, Furosemide 40 mg and Carvedilol 12.5 mg. I also take one Aspirin 81 mg each day.
I see my doctor on the 31st. He is going to want to put me on a cholesterol-lowering medication. I am going to say no to it. A doctor in Miami put me on one and for a month I felt like someone had beat every inch of my body with a baseball bat. I was thinking well this is old age and I do not want to live like this. Then I wondered if it might be the medication I was taking and I stopped taking it and the pain went away. This doctor is going to say he will put me on a different cholesterol medication but I am going to “just say no.”
I only have enough Carvedilol for today so CVS will have to call in and get the doctor to OK some more for me. I hate it that the doctor sort of has control of my life. I need the prostate and blood pressure/heart medications. Your doctor has to write and approve the Rx.
I should be taking something for arthritis all the time. I have pain all the time. It is getting worst. The doctor said for me to take Aleve when I need to take something for pain. It is rare for me to take it. I just do not like taking medications. When you get old you have to take medications. I guess the word to the wise would be to the young to take care of your health when you are young.
