[Viva] Question about med.

[Peggy Frank]

Hi Margarite,
Same, same. I have been pushing the conversation aside for a year. I find it so hard to switch when something has been working for more than ten years. REally when I went  from 49 pills a day everything looked good - so minimizing the pill burden is kind of a moot point - 5 a day is a small handful. My concern is that they will stop making the “old” drugs, just like my favourite jeans and shoes and … 

Would love to have more feedback from people who have switched from the old drugs to these new combinations. 

Love this conversation being out here.-peg
