The Medicine Program

I am a 73 year old female. Along with high blood pressure since 38 (inherited) of course high cholesterol (also inherited) and depression for 8 years, probably on account of all the inherited things - and - asthma at 62, plus wheat and gluten allergy at 65 - I guess you could say I am a mess. I do my best to keep smiling and my friends cannot believe I also suffered with headaches for 46 years until a sebaceous cyst burst open on my head and - whamoo - headaches gone! (I cannot tell you the tests I went through trying to get to the bottom of the headaches). Now on Social Security, it is very difficult to continue my prescription ritual. Your help would be very much appreciated. Oh yes, never could take anything stronger than “Tylenol” for pain all those years. (Allergic to codeine and sulphur, too.)
