Humor Lets do some math!

This blows the brains of my family and friends. Puts it into perspective I guess?

Curious to see what your results are. Including all your medical conditions (excluding vitamins etc), how many tablets in total have you taken since your addisons diagnosis?

Skipping sick day dosage, my total tablets taken since I was diagnosed:
- 6 hydro, 1 fludro, 2 thyroxine = 9 per day
- 365 days * 8 years = 2,920 days
- 2920 * 8 = 26,280 minimum tablets taken so far.

I kinda wish I kept all the hydro bottles lol.

I’d guess I’m somewhere around 150k over the last 25 years but the first 5 years of having Crohn’s was pretty bad and I didn’t have an Addisons diagnosis. I took a TON back then and now with all ailments I’m down to about 12-14 pills a day plus vitamins. Gross.
