I've cut WAY down. Since I haven't experienced much benefit and can't afford to toss off so much money for nothing, I'm down to my thyroid meds, Vit B12 & D.

Me, too. Most of mine are vitamins......D3 and Fish oil. I still take my thyroid pill every morning. I'm going to ask my doctor about eliminating the HBP med, too, since I've lost about 35 pounds. The most important med I take is my LDN pill every night.

I too cut way back, but only because I felt I wasnt getting relief from what I was taking.
After I swallow all those pills, there is no room in my tummy for food!

Debbie, are you talking about prescription medication or supplements?
I use one prescribed medication and that is as needed only. Supplements...that's another story I take a total of 18 supplements a day. That total is taking some of the same supplements 2 or 3x a day...depending on the supplement.

I take 2, must take, meds every day and a few suppliments if I remember. I try to eat right so I don't have to suppliment.
I used to do every pill that came down the pike. If someone said it would help my MS, I took it. I had the most expensive dodo in town..

I take the minimum but still it's 9 a day. I've cut back over the years, lol. I'm including my daily C shot, and my allergy meds too, plus the others. Only a few of them are actually for MS. I also take a hormone pill and BP pill.
