I am going to have to stop taking my Enbrel since it will cause my foot to heal more slowly and can cause in infection in the break. Not happy about this one.

I dropped an 18volt battery drill motor on the top portion of my foot and a beautiful black line with bruising around form. they took xrays but the doctor said it could be up to a week before a break could show up on an xray, but in her experience it was broken. to be sure though if I wanted to come back in a week and get another exray I could. I opted out of the other xray and took her word as being broken.

you can add Travaprost drops to the list of drugs. This is supposed to keep my from going blind due to glaucoma

My Lord Billy, that's a lot of pills!!!

I wonder if any of your tiredness might be due to all the lorazepam you are taking. I am somewhat resistant to medications. That being said, if they gave me that much lorazepam I would be unconscious. I'm not sure but that hydrocodone might be part of the problem too.

Something else I noticed in your meds is the Plavix. My cardiologist had me on that stuff plus one 81 mg aspirin per day. I started getting weaker and weaker and my next symptom was that I started having episodes where I could hardly breathe. The breathing problem got so bad that my husband took me to the Emergency Room late one evening. When the results of my blood tests started coming in they discovered that my red blood count was so low that I barely had enough blood to power my lungs. They promptly transfused me with 2 pints of blood. They did a colonoscopy the next morning and found a huge bleeding ulcer. Since that episode I have noticed that when they advertise this drug it comes with a caution about people who may be prone to ulcers not taking the drug.

My primary care physician oversees all the drugs I take, even those prescribed by my other doctors. It's silly of me to ask but do you have one physician who oversees all of your meds?

I take a lot of medication but not nearly as much as you. I have also wondered if they were going finally put me on so many meds that it just kills me. The doctors are pretty smart folks but I cannot believe that they can know with 100% confidence what kind of "soup" results when all these drugs are combined.

I'm sorry to hear about your broken foot. See the item I just posted on your question about neuropathy.

I hope to talk with you again soon.

Take care,
Linda

My VA Doctor overseas all my meds. He is also a pharmacist. I do have a Primary Care Physician too. Oh and after a year long battle with pain and now 4 nerve blocks it seems my foot is doing better although an increase of Gabapentin to 800mg 3 times a day and added another nerve medication to control the nerve pain.(surprised I don't have ED taking all of this stuff). I am so glad to be back.
