Overall I’m not all that unhealthy but somehow I’m on a pile of meds (albeit including HRT).
Anyone else? |

I should add, early 50s. I went straight from BC to HRC and it was perfect because I have no history of breast cancer. I'm resisting statins because I have some serious genetic cholesterol and HR stuff I think that GLPs will help that more than statins will but docs aren't up to speed yet! (I'm thin) Finally, I probably should be on anxiety meds but again, too much trouble with gatekeeping. So thanks, DCUM! Helping me with my anxiety! (TLDR It's too much PITA to be on a medication in our US health system.) |

| 49. I take thyroid medication (since I was 12), metformin (I was briefly in prediabetic range, but now prediabetic), and reluctantly aa statin. I’m pretty fit and active. Genetics suck! I also take some vitamins. I would not take HRT since I’m high risk. |

60. Whole bunch. Name it and I take it. Since 2020.
First wave COVID-19 in Feb 2020 that did not kill me but I ended up with a whole lot of lifelong issues. All in all, i feel pretty lucky. |
