Just a timely reminder for all of us on several meds. I'm always asking if one or another of mine can be reduced as I reckon the fewer the better. Of course, sometimes they can't but we need to bear in mind that the more we are on, the greater the danger of interactions and side-effects.

That's a good point, Sticky, and one worth making. I know from experience that one med begets another which begets another di dah di dah di dah. Less is defintiely more. DD0
