I am sick and tired of taking all of these meds.  It starts that it is all
right and end with all of this medical stuff staring me in the face.

side effects of that med.    I have tried to recycle the pill bottles because
there are so many.

talking about

Vascular problems.  He
                                                is sending me back to 2nd
General Practitioner.

This is a mess. I am tired of all the doctors and meds and diets and rituals.
I am going for Voodoo next.  Can't hurt maybe help.
I had decided this  evening to stop all meds, doctors, hospitals,, blood tests
etc.
But after calming down and talking to a very dear friend.  I guess I should
hang with it a while longer.  There has just been to much in the span of 7
years, that started with cancer.  And the years just keep rollin on by.
I need to bask in Sweet Sage and commune with the Great Spirit.  Help me.
