I’m currently on 18 in the morning, and 9 in the evening. I have eyedrops twice a day too. I’m in my mid forties now, so will almost certainly increase that number as I get older.
By the time I’m fifty I expect I’ll wake up with sun beaming through the window and I’ll smile, stretch, lean over to the bedside table and just go full-on Hungry, Hungry Hippos.
Hopefully still zero
Other than the occasional ibuprofen or allergy pill I take zero at 58 years
I’m at 10/day in my 30s and I’m not even trans 🙃
Y’all are some sick mofos. I’m a rookie over here with sometimes only one dicofenac daily for my rheumatoid arthritis condition. Early 30s.
At one point last year I had hourly eye-drops, with a separate set of drops to take every ~6 hours in December. That was unusual though due to uveitis.
This thread is one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever created. It’s wonderful.
I realise I didn’t really answer your question directly but implicitly, like everyone else in this thread, I am going to be taking all the pills when I get older.
I hope, for as long as possible to stick with only a fluctuating 4½ to 5 a day. One of my pills sometimes fluctuates with how much I need to take, but as long as I can keep it to the 3 types I’m currently taking or less, I’d be a happy old man.
I was on 3, but I got rid of them all.
I want to live without any pills!
Whoa, so like you’ll tolerance will get real low so when you’re old that shits going to really hit. That’s smart dude. I’ll call you the professor.
If you need it, you need it.
I just found ways to replace my old pills with food and lifestyle
Damn, min/maxing food and lifestyle. That’s why you’re the professor.
Does half of one count as 1 pill?
I guess I’m at 6-8 depending on how you count them. Being trans is complicated. =3
8 currently in my 40’s. When I’m 70 I can’t even imagine
Yo man, if you ever need a spotter, like just call me over.
Currently 41, not taking anything daily yet.
30, not taking anything regularly either.
I take 2 right now and gave up animal products to minimize the possibility of having to take more.
I take enough that I have an organizer for them.
My man! 👋
I’m at 2 daily now, so I guess I’m lagging.
I’m at two as well. Finasteride for hair, and vitamin D because my doctor recommended it.
I had thought the vitamin D pill was actually kinda useless when i first started taking it. I was fine before i started taking the pill, right? Due to me being lazy and prescription address changes lagging behind a move, I ended up skipping out on that pill for two months. Turns out, vitamin D is like, a minor anti depressant or some shit because I was exhausted all the time near the end there before I started retaking the pill.
Be sure to take K2 with the D so your arteries don’t calcify.
As a PNW resident, Vitamin D is serious business. Which you’ve reminded me I stopped taking…
That’s a good solid base. Add some vitamins in. I don’t know what they do but they’ll really pump your numbers ups. Hell, throw in a fish oil and you’re cooking with gas.
Do vitamins & minerals count? Beside those my goal is none and so far so good…
Good point. I don’t count vitamin and mineral as “pills”, since they are powdered or liquid nutrients squeezed into a pill shape for convenience. When I think of pills I think of medication.
I actually grind up different nuts into a powder form and shape them into balls that I eat 1 per day too, like taking pills.
I could squeeze flour, sugar into a pill shape too, is it a pill then? actually, rice looks like tiny pills. Is fish/meat ball just a giant pill? is noodle a long string shaped pill? Is Hot dog a huge chewable pill. Are meat patty in burger just giant tablet made from meat?
To avoid counting sugar cubes as pills, I only count doc prescribed meds as “pills”, i.e., something that i have to take regularly and can only be obtained by doc prescription and/or is not considered a nutrient.
