having to accept that I have to take as many as 6 different meds to manage my physical and mental illness, has to be the hardest part of being sick at all. To me it is a constant reminder of what lurks around the next corner if i'm not medicated. I have been on so may different meds in the last 10 years I cant count them all. I have tremendous anxiety for the future will I ever be able to function, will I be able ot hold down a job, what will happen when my dr's no longer think I need these meds, and I'm left with d.t.'s side effects, ineractions, I want my life to revolve around ME and my wants and dreams, not my illness or medications. Many men that I have dated never bother to look past the illnesses and meds to see who I am
