> Besides being hooked on these meds, I am quite pleased with my life. It would be nice to not be physically dependent on medication. It scares me that I will wake up and find myself to be sixty years old (I am 46) and still on the same meds because they are so difficult to get off of. Anyone else with these feelings? :) AnneLHi Anne,
Strange as it may seem, I don't think about it much anymore. I guess I've made a peace or formed an acceptance, as my life is so different now. The quality of life and functioning I've gotten is something I'm very thankful for. I do give it a passing thought when I read the board but otherwise, I really don't give it much thought.
My Dad is in his 70's and has been on blood pressure meds since he was 25. I have many friends that are diabetic and their daily med procedures are complicated but necessary. I do not think of myself any different than that..... I just have a different organ and body system involved that requires treatment for functioning well.
In my "real life", mainly I'm just thankful and grateful.
Best,
Glydin
