Does anyone take more than 30 pills a day?

I understand that If you take the 250mg Pentasa, you can take 16 a day of those buggers alone!
Just wondering if anyone is past 30...

When I first started out on Pentasa, I took about 22 pills a day. It was weird because prior to my diagnosis, I didn't take so much as a multi-vitamin. I had to buy a watch with multiple alarms and carry one of those pill separators to remember to take them all.

Four years later, I take close to 30 pills a day. I switched to the 500 mg Pentasa and take two twice a day, but I take a ton of herbs and supplements - which are working wonders. It is hard getting so many down and now that I'm feeling so well, it's even harder to remember. Maybe I need to bring my watch out agin.

It's a pain in the behind, but so worth it if I can keep feeling this good, the stomach pains and the arthritis stay away!

 

I used to take 32 a day for a long time. Yikes! Not anymore though.

I get pretty close. I take get 20 a day from crohn's meds and antibiotics. Then I take 3 iron, 2 probiotics, folic acid, a multivitamin, biotin, and allergy meds. I guess that means I have a total of 29 right now.

It does get tiresome. Hopefully I'll be able to cut out a few soon (like the pred and antibiotics) and I'm thinking about switching to Lialda. I'm pretty sure if most of my friends saw my daily pills all portioned out, they'd be totally floored (even the ones that know about all my health issues).

I'm up to 14, 8 are Asacol and the rest are vitamins, Protonix and folic acid.

26 not including all of the as needed ones and the injections.
Humira, dilantin, neurontin, prednisone, prolosec, zantac, zoloft, amitriptyline, clonazepam, lunesta, percocet etc.

I've taken 50+ at various times...

Does it ever worry anyone that we have to take so many? I mean I know we need them, and certainly I'm not going to stop taking them. But I always wonder how it's effecting my system (like my liver). Just seems like so much, but I know some take more!

I counted this morning and it's currently 27. Was loads more after I had my strokes.

No sneaking around for you guys...

Hear you coming from 2 blocks away, rattle rattle, shake shake.

I know that my gastro is seriously worried about how much medicine I'm on and has stripped me back to what he considers to be the bare essentials, but that's still 20+ tablets a day, not counting injections and pain meds. The problem is that the other doctors want me to be on more meds for joint pain etc, but my gastro (who I consider to be the boss) says no, my liver's health is most important.

I was / am taking more meds than my mother, who had terminal cancer... This is a whacky illness.
