Medication-Free!

Last September, 2009 or so, I seriously reduced some of my medications. When I moved to Redmond, I stopped taking the rest. The only meds I take -- besides insulin -- are over-the-counter pain killers (aspirin and ibuprofen). I take no prescription medications other than insulin. I can't say my life is perfect, but I'm doing just fine. The best thing is that people react to me much more positively. My body is a little achy, but I feel considerably better than I did when I was taking all that stuff. I am actively looking into ways to solve the achiness problems (yoga?). The only value on my labs that is not perfect is the cholesterol level, which is 117 -- slightly elevated -- but I think there might be natural ways to solve that too.
