“Prescription Parade: A Pill-Popping Serenade”
In a world of pills and potions, let me sing a song, Of a daily prescription list, that’s just oh so long. From Xtampza to clopidogrel, it’s a merry mix, Of medications to ensure I’m in the pink of health, not sick!
Metoprolol, it’s a beat that keeps my heart in line, While HYDROmorphone, well, it’s a high I’d like to find. Ramelteon helps me sleep, like counting fluffy sheep, And warfarin thins the blood, so my veins don’t weep.
Potassium chloride for the electrolyte brigade, Amiodarone dances to a rhythm I’ve obeyed. Breztri Aerosphere, an inhaler with flair, For torsemide and atorvastatin, a breath of fresh air.
Albuterol’s the wind beneath my wheezy wings, Vitamin D2, like sunshine, the happiness it brings. Calcium carbonate, a dose of sturdy bones, And isosorbide’s the key to those pressure-prone zones.
Lantus is a hero in the sugar battle I wage, While hydrALAZINE gets the blood flowing on the stage. HumaLOG, a swift response to my sweet tooth’s call, And valsartan’s my shield against a pressure that might fall.
Fexofenadine battles sneezes, pollen’s little joke, Guaifenesin keeps the mucus in check, it’s no bloke! So here’s a salute to my daily pill parade, With humor in my heart, and health that never fades!
Now, let’s raise a glass, not of meds, but cheer, To a prescription list that keeps me bright and clear. May my health be robust, and my humor always keen, In this whimsical world of pills, and potions in between!

That’s quite a list… impressive rhyming as well. My husband takes a handful day and night too. I hate it. It… and the doctors who’s answer to any issue is another pill.

Each day I dump the pill minder’s contents into a small dish, load the syringes, take a few more swigs of coffee to work up the nerve. I think to myself, damn, that is a lot of pills!

My other half is on pills for high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol etc etc. I constantly worry what harm all those chemicals are doing. A healthier diet would go a long way but I’ve been arguing that for 40 years…

Have mercy. My Ken, at 80, is healing nicely from his hip fracture but, he has never taken any drugs, except an occasional aspirin or Tylenol. They had him on different drugs in the hospital but, he has taken none at home.
I was on birth control pills for seven years (for dysmenorrhea) and they screwed up my endocrine system. I went into a deep depression and could not eat (and it destroyed my first marriage). I went into a private hospital for them to put me on an anti-depressant. I stayed on that med for 21 years, until I found out that the birth control pills “caused” the depression. The antidepressant left me with a permanent arrhythmia. I DESPISE big pharma.

Do you keep a half gallon of water nearby to wash down all of those pills? !!!
