Medication Is Not a Cure for any medical condition; they change the symptoms to make them more manageable.
Life is a gift, but your health is a choice, and all too often, we leave it to the medical profession to prescribe a drug to help us.
When it comes to being overweight and all the underlying medical conditions this causes, medication is not a cure, nor is it the solution.
Medications are artificial solutions and often increase the strength of the drug to compensate for the continued decline of the medical condition.
I know because my doctor has increased the strength of my medications every two years or added another drug to support the one I was already taking.
At one stage, I was taking 16 tablets a day to control various conditions caused by my being overweight.
By reducing my weight and bringing my body back to a physical condition closely aligned with my actual age, I have reduced that medication to four tablets a day.
I take Lyrica twice a day for neuropathic pain caused by my diabetes. It is a drug that many people have become reliant on and find it very hard to stop taking. Without it, the neuropathic pain in my feet and legs is intense and unbearable, and I have become exceptionally reliant on it to live a somewhat everyday life.
I have this past week been able to reduce the volume I take by 25% and will continue pushing until I reach my pain threshold.
