Pills. Can you pay my pills? Take my telephone pit now, things
that made no sense. I was going with something didn't work out, pills,
pills. I'm trying to do something. Hi, I'm James, James's
fifty plus right now, we're joining some audio only episodes this month here in
January twenty twenty four. Hello, Hello, Hello. Subscribe where you find

I'll say today and this week I can't speak all of a sudden today and
this week's topic is medications. And I'm laughing because when I was younger,
we always made jokes of people fifty plus, my our parents and Anthony,
how they always talked about their ailments. They always talk about their medications.
Their lives evolve around medications. Okay, So I always thought that was just
kind of fun the acomical. Now we have friends in my fifties, members
of the fifties. We talked about medications and our ailments. It was our
doctor's appointments, Like is this stuff? I'm like, this is what old
people talk about. I want those people now I'm one of those people.
We talk about stuff, And so it's funny because the medications was really funny.
I only take two for blood pressure, and they're actually medium to low
dose and not big. But I've taken it right now because I'm still trying
to lose weight and the whole kitten caboodle. But it's funny. I noticed
there a couple of times where I'm at somebody's house and they're like, you
spend the night if you watch this, ladies spend the night, and I'm
like, shoot, I ded my pills. Because my pills are taken every
day. I can't taking it. I can't not I cannot not take them
would be not good for me every day. And so I was like,
wait a minute. So I'm actually like my parents before. I mean,
I am ruled by my pills. I have to make sure I take them
every day. And I so I created from myself a routine in the morning.
I said, I tell my pills first thing in the morning and out
the way, because there are a couple of times when I couldn't remember if
I had taken them or not. So I went outside the routine. And
that's the worst feeling. Because the blood pressure, the type medication I'm taking,
they say you shouldn't you don't. You don't just stop taking it.
You have to wean yourself off of it or side effects. I don't want
I'm scared of side effects, but I don't want to side effects, gizzingess,
things like that. I don't want that. But I was like,
oh my god, I am like, now I can't remember I take it,
So I take that, not take it. I'm count the pill.
It's just it's the worst feeling because then you don't want to overtake the pills
or medicate yourself because this side effects to that too. It's just but yes,
there's that was an eye opener to me. And then another eye opener,
of course, was like being somewhere another city, like somewhere else.
We drove somewhere else. Oh my god, I can't stay here. I
gotta asking my pills. Oh my god. So now I have I decided
when I go out of town, either bring the pills with me or bring
an extra set and having the bag so where so I feel just calm and
cool, collected wherever I go, because if I goes Toroe, I can
die my pills, you know. But yes, in some places, if
I'm in La proper, and they're like we can stay over. I'm like,
I have to leave for early in the morning cause I gotta take my
pills. Like my life is literally like. So I'm trying to continue to
lose weight, take care of my insides, and hopefully that might eliminate me
taking pills because my pills are actually said lower dose compared to most people.
But I'm over wait, so I'm working on that. But my insides are
pretty good. So that's the hope is that one day I will take this.
It's a trip to be beholden to something because we need to live and
it's good and it's I don't people if any age can relate to this,
because pills are pills or pills, but I think just for us older folks
who over fifty, it's good. It's different kinds of pills. Getting boy,
it's getting more common. I'll take vitamins too, so I think vitamins
peel out you both. It's just really weird. And to say, what
big case do you take it? Which will you take you? What do
you do? I mean I've seriously had conversations with other people my age or
older about our medications, full conversation about our medications and where we take is.
It's like, come on, James, I do you have a better
life than that? As he better than that? But it feels crazy.
I just I don't want to be beholden to them, so I'm gonna try
to get it so I don't take it anymore. But I just I don't
want to be just like tied down the pills rescribe. That's why I wrote
a book series called The Uphill, which was worn out of my frustration to
have me to take pills. God, Amazon, it's up there. I'm
