[QUOTE="Ojustaboo, post: 1832873, member: 460243"] Thanks, Your drug list seems similar to mine, I was prescribed high dose of Vit D and am now taking over the counter daily. Have recently had two total knee replacements due to arthritis and have severe arthritis on both top and bottom of my spine. Neurologist years ago put me on anti depressants for migraines and it cut them down from days to hours. Then years later ended up with depression and tablets were changed. Then no tablet stopped my back pain so they changed my antidepressants to one called Duloxitine that also helps pain by doing something to the nerves. My current meds are: 50 mg Cyclizine Hydrochloride 3 times a day and when needed (anti sickness as I'm nauseous 24/7) Metformin 500g 3 times a day 40 mg Simvastatin once a day (cholesterol) 50 micrograms Nasonex nasal spray, twice a day (sinus problems) 30mg Lansoprazole if needed twice a day (anti acids, had a nissen fundoplication for hiatus hernia but still often need them although when I do, it's just at night) Ventolin/Salbutamol 100 micrograms whenever needed Fostair 100micrograms/dose / 6 micrograms/dose inhaler. One puff twice a day (Asthma, coughing not breathing dificulties) Allopurinol 100mg Two once a day Colchicine 500 micrograms twice a day (Gout) Ultrabase cream, use instead of soap Duloxetine 30MG Three times a day (well 30g in morning and 60g in evening) (anti depression and pain) I'm also on one other med that I wont say on this forum, but it is a side effect of diabetes :) I also suffer from short term memory issues, if I remember, I remember 100% accurately. If I'm thinking hard, I also do. But the example I always give is after my knee op, I asked my wife if she could get my meds as they are now due, and she replied "I just got them, you took them literally 3 minutes ago" and I had zero clue. Things like that happen a few times a week. I've had a MRI on my head, all is fine, it's something to do with my CFS/ME Am under the pain clinic at the hospital for my back and have just been referred to "Extended Scope Spinal Physiotherapy" at my local hospital by the pain clinic as apparently a normal Physio is no good with a back like mine. And I'm also under a CBT therapist with Wellbeing for my depression, and am on a waiting list for some other therapy with them (forgotten what) . My depression score is PHQ9: 18, and my anxiety scale is GAD7: 13 So I'm doing well for 54 years old :) [/QUOTE]
