00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:06.839
Pills. Can you pay my pills? Take my telephone pit now, things

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:11.599
that made no sense. I was
going with something didn't work out, pills,

3
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.359
pills. I'm trying to do something. Hi, I'm James, James's

4
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:19.879
fifty plus right now, we're joining
some audio only episodes this month here in

5
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:24.160

7
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.039
I'll say today and this week I
can't speak all of a sudden today and

8
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:41.479
this week's topic is medications. And
I'm laughing because when I was younger,

9
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.560
we always made jokes of people fifty
plus, my our parents and Anthony,

10
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:53.600
how they always talked about their ailments. They always talk about their medications.

11
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:59.560
Their lives evolve around medications. Okay, So I always thought that was just

12
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.680
kind of fun the acomical. Now
we have friends in my fifties, members

13
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.519
of the fifties. We talked about
medications and our ailments. It was our

14
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.840
doctor's appointments, Like is this stuff? I'm like, this is what old

15
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.959
people talk about. I want those
people now I'm one of those people.

16
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.959
We talk about stuff, And so
it's funny because the medications was really funny.

17
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:26.840
I only take two for blood pressure, and they're actually medium to low

18
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.560
dose and not big. But I've
taken it right now because I'm still trying

19
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:37.079
to lose weight and the whole kitten
caboodle. But it's funny. I noticed

20
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:42.799
there a couple of times where I'm
at somebody's house and they're like, you

21
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.719
spend the night if you watch this, ladies spend the night, and I'm

22
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:51.280
like, shoot, I ded my
pills. Because my pills are taken every

23
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.400
day. I can't taking it.
I can't not I cannot not take them

24
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.480
would be not good for me every
day. And so I was like,

25
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.079
wait a minute. So I'm actually
like my parents before. I mean,

26
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.719
I am ruled by my pills.
I have to make sure I take them

27
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:14.879
every day. And I so I
created from myself a routine in the morning.

28
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:16.599
I said, I tell my pills
first thing in the morning and out

29
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:22.919
the way, because there are a
couple of times when I couldn't remember if

30
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:27.240
I had taken them or not.
So I went outside the routine. And

31
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.840
that's the worst feeling. Because the
blood pressure, the type medication I'm taking,

32
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.159
they say you shouldn't you don't.
You don't just stop taking it.

33
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:40.800
You have to wean yourself off of
it or side effects. I don't want

34
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.319
I'm scared of side effects, but
I don't want to side effects, gizzingess,

35
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:46.159
things like that. I don't want
that. But I was like,

36
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:52.759
oh my god, I am like, now I can't remember I take it,

37
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:53.719
So I take that, not take
it. I'm count the pill.

38
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:58.800
It's just it's the worst feeling because
then you don't want to overtake the pills

39
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.319
or medicate yourself because this side effects
to that too. It's just but yes,

40
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.400
there's that was an eye opener to
me. And then another eye opener,

41
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.599
of course, was like being somewhere
another city, like somewhere else.

42
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.759
We drove somewhere else. Oh my
god, I can't stay here. I

43
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:20.919
gotta asking my pills. Oh my
god. So now I have I decided

44
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.479
when I go out of town,
either bring the pills with me or bring

45
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:31.240
an extra set and having the bag
so where so I feel just calm and

46
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:36.120
cool, collected wherever I go,
because if I goes Toroe, I can

47
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.120
die my pills, you know.
But yes, in some places, if

48
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.840
I'm in La proper, and they're
like we can stay over. I'm like,

49
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:46.080
I have to leave for early in
the morning cause I gotta take my

50
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.840
pills. Like my life is literally
like. So I'm trying to continue to

51
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:55.680
lose weight, take care of my
insides, and hopefully that might eliminate me

52
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:01.759
taking pills because my pills are actually
said lower dose compared to most people.

53
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.439
But I'm over wait, so I'm
working on that. But my insides are

54
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:11.240
pretty good. So that's the hope
is that one day I will take this.

55
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:21.800
It's a trip to be beholden to
something because we need to live and

56
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.560
it's good and it's I don't people
if any age can relate to this,

57
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.959
because pills are pills or pills,
but I think just for us older folks

58
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.480
who over fifty, it's good.
It's different kinds of pills. Getting boy,

59
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:39.279
it's getting more common. I'll take
vitamins too, so I think vitamins

60
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.759
peel out you both. It's just
really weird. And to say, what

61
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:45.680
big case do you take it?
Which will you take you? What do

62
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:51.000
you do? I mean I've seriously
had conversations with other people my age or

63
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.480
older about our medications, full conversation
about our medications and where we take is.

64
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.720
It's like, come on, James, I do you have a better

65
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:06.800
life than that? As he better
than that? But it feels crazy.

66
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.800
I just I don't want to be
beholden to them, so I'm gonna try

67
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.920
to get it so I don't take
it anymore. But I just I don't

68
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.959
want to be just like tied down
the pills rescribe. That's why I wrote

69
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:23.360
a book series called The Uphill,
which was worn out of my frustration to

70
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:27.839
have me to take pills. God, Amazon, it's up there. I'm

71
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.879
