I was able to get my mother, who is presently 88 years old, on a low carb regime. She has been low carb for the last 5 years. She dropped 50 lbs. She has been T2D for 40+ years. She was able to get off all of her insulin and metformin. The last year her provider de-prescribed all of her blood pressure meds and cholesterol, and heart med. She is still taking Trulicity injection and L-thyroxin. I am questioning if Trulicity is actually helping or hurting her, as she has had ulcerative colitis. She also has Alzheimers, diagnosed in 2020.

Hi, I started taking cholesterol medication back in the early 90s and I was alright for awhile, then I started having slurred speech, funny things going on in my head and other things, and I thought I was having a stroke as they were stroke-like symptoms. The doctor had me have all sorts of tests and nothing showed up. I kept getting these symptoms off and on over the years and it concerned me, never thinking it could be the tablets. Then in around 2014 there was reason for me to believe that the tablets might be causing the problem, so I stopped taking them for awhile. There was such a huge improvement in my health that I could not believe, no more stroke like symptoms. Unfortunately, my doctor kept pushing me to go back on them eventhough I told her I was feeling a lot better. After six months I did, just to prove a point, and sure enough, all the symptoms came flooding back. Squilly noises in my head, squishing bubbly noises up the back of my neck, slurred speech, tired and so it went on. I stopped them immediately and I started to come back to normal. My doctor still thinks I should be taking them.

Oh well… I’m going to be 65 on Sunday (26th May). I’m 100% ‘un-poisoned’ (no C19 vaccine). Although just last week I’ve refused taking statins, it looks like I may shortly have to go onto high blood pressure medication… but I’ve changed my eating/lifestyle habits and have now put myself on an intermittent fasting regime of one meal per day (started two weeks ago). I plan to do this for 12 weeks and then reconsider, dependant upon b.p. readings etc. I stopped gym training because of the stupid lockdown nonsense (everything was shut), and have since lost the mind-set for any training, although I do walk the dog daily and plan to start back at the gym next week. I’m on no other prescription medication apart from Terbinafine (started a couple of weeks ago) for these infernal fungal toenails. It’s the last port of call as, over the decades, I’ve tried everything. Obviously, I have to have kidney/liver tests once per month for this medication. What are your thoughts on Terbinafine?

Polypharmacy. Where they add a new drug but never remove one from the medicatìon list, many old peole are on over multiple different drugs per day! These drugs are never tested for interactions. I spoke with a european hospital pharmacist some time ago who was working on a study of the effects of polypharmacy. To get into the study, the patient had to be on over twenty five different medications per day! Naively I asked, 'is it difficult to find patients for the study'? No problem, their are thousands of them! If they come after you with the cortissol tablets, run for your life. I think this is their 'trojen horse' drug, once you're on that it generates so many other problems they can put their prescription pads on full auto!

In the US most people over 65 will be on some type of Medicare plan which will limit who they can see. In addition, most MDs are under time constraints and not necessarily versed in geriatric medicine. Most over 65s who have not worked in medical research or the health care industry in general will not know (or necessarily care to read) how to interpret studies. Yes, people should "do their homework" but this is more and more difficult in our mis/dis information world. When in doubt the best bet would be to find a doc who specializes in geriatrics.

I have done all the non-medical things I can think of to address this problem including a cooler, darker bedroom and turning off electronic devices with screens an hour before bed. I have tried many "natural" products too. None seemed to work. About a month ago I tried an over-the-counter, time-release melatonin product. Finally, something that seems to work. The one problem I have had the last few weeks or so is waking up groggy for about an hour. I don't know if this is the medication or the result of being 73 and finally getting some good nights' sleep. I haven't had many of those before finding this medication so I'm not sure.

I'm 54. This is my conversation affirmed with a physician and gasterenterologist: "I understand now that your stomach cells are part of your esophagus due to acid reflux and the hernia, and that this issue has been progressively affecting your ability to swallow over the years. It sounds like it has been a challenging journey, especially with the complications stemming from the back accident and the subsequent discovery of your condition through various tests." Basically, I take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily in the morning. Otherwise, I will choke to death from not being able to swallow thoroughly after about 3 to 4 days, and also to help prevent any possible risk of esophageal cancer. Any knowledge and advice beyond this to share doctor?

Thank you Dr Dhand. I'm 64 and don't go to the doctor unless something is broke and I don't take any medications. Seems like everyone I know or work with, most who are younger and a few older are constantly going to the doctor and are on constant medication of many kinds. They tell me I need to go see a doctor on a regular basis. My reply is " and be like you, no thanks. " I would rather kick the bucket 🪣 first.

THANK YOU Dr. Dhand. You are a TRUE DOCTOR in my opinion. I'm 65 and feel that you are absolutely correct about this issue. Apart from the occasional anti-histamine, I don't take any medications. You're absolutely right; it's all about the money and I won't comply. Thank you again for your invaluable work.

It is the responsibility of the primary care physician to monitor their patients” meds and adjust accordingly. “GO low and go slow” was always stressed when medicating the elderly.

At 64 I was given morphine in an emergency ambulance and had a respiratory arrest which took several hours on an infusion to reverse. I have severe side effects to all opioid type painkillers, amitriptiline and gabapentin type meds. I have no previous history of any type of drugs and take only Lansoprazole since the removal of my gallbladder. The only painkiller I feel safe to take is paracetamol, thank goodness at 70 I’m fit and healthy, and I work hard to stay this way.

69 and declined most medications during my life. I have some sort of aversion against foreign drugs interfering with my body (in my 20's it was a different story 🫣). Hope to keep doing so until my last breath. Meanwhile, I keep myself as healthy as possible with diet, movement exercise, strength exercises and some therapies. One day at the time.

Thank you Dr Dhand. I have been my mother's medical advocate for many years now. She is 88 years, has been T2D since her 40s. She had single bypass heart surgery at age 61. She has had high blood pressure, gallbladder surgery, IBS. Five years ago she began a low carb diet and IF. She lost 50 lbs. She was able to stop taking insulin and reduced her bp meds. More than 2 years ago her provider de-prescribed metformin and placed her on Trulicity. Last fall the provider de-prescribed her bp meds, statin drug, and heart med. She still takes L-thyroxin. I question whether that is doing anything. I also am questioning the Trulicity whether it's helping or hurting. She has some kidney failure and ulcerative colitis.

when I was doing my training 20 years ago "polypharmacy" was starting to be talked about. now it's the normal. most people over 40 are on a multitude of unnecessary "lifestyle " drugs. I try to educate people and give them alternatives but gps are mostly brainwashed and it's difficult to change anyone's thinking.

Same here. Went to a cardio for a check up last year. The doc was taking my details, 'how old are you"? 68. "What medication are you taking" None. Asked me three times. He found it difficult to believe.

What happens if you are concerned about health issues like epilepsy for example? If you don't want to stay on the medication for your whole life, but you also don't want to experience too many seizures or have uncontrolled blood pressure or blood sugar or whatever health problems you have?

When I normalized my HI blood pressure (doing internet research) I ask my cardiologist why should I take that ezatambine. He agree with me ,I did drop it. but if i did not ask I would be still taking this poison. I'm taking now half of other pill.. you have to take your health in your own hands at less you have complicated health issues.
