Hi akc,
just a note, to say, 'if it were me':
I would check my records as to why and what happened when i started them
I would get more opionions and go in asking, why am I taking six different medications.
Similar situation is going on with me re asthma...I have thought, and gotten opinions that I do have asthma, but I looked one day and it dawned on me I was taking four different meds...so I went to specialist for check up and said, why am i taking four different meds, show me...that i need to take these that they are making a difference.
Long story short...Second visit, dr admitted the spirometer wasnt working right, so it showed i had a response, when in reality, i did not...(I need to ask for my money back) I am now off the two inhalers, with a plan for the next med to drop off in the next month, then then next...the dr i am seeing asks good questions and expresses puzzlement and is able to describe to me what is going on...which is an accomplishment all it of itself.
My question to you, my response to your list, is why so many different medications?
I have another comment which i will try to remember to share when we meet on chat.
