I take over 10 prescriptions and vitamins each day in order to regulate the symptoms of my chronic illnesses. I take multiple medications for my heart rate and blood pressure, medication to help with my stomach aches, medication for my migraines, medications for my allergies, medication for my anxiety, medication for my fibromyalgia, as well as a variety of vitamins. I rely on these medications to help me feel somewhat normal and it is a constant battle to figure out what my body will best respond to. I strongly urge everyone to listen to their bodies and if something doesn’t feel right or a medication isn’t working advocate for yourself because at the end of the day no one knows how you feel better than you do.
