The embarrassment of having all the medications work....
I'm lucky to be in this place - my medications keep my disease in check so I can live an active, normal (Well, I think it's active and normal) life. The problem is that I look and feel healthy, so why do I have this line-up of pill bottles and vitamins?

1. Try not taking them for a while. You'll find out
Better idea, try not to think about rattling when you walk and keep taking them as usual.

2. You have all of these pill bottles so you can look and more importantly, feel healthy
Occasionally, I want to be the way I was in my twenties, without a single pill bottle but then I remember that I did have a pill bottle, a giant costco sized bottle of ibuprofen and I still felt like I was 80, now I have a pile of pills every day but sometimes I feel like I should have felt in my twenties.

3. Totally know what you mean!
I feel weird, having two different pill holders (the daily kind so I don't forget to take them all!), plus many bottles around.

I keep saying that for a basically healthy person, I've sure got a lot wrong with me!

4. Did you peek into my house?
That said I know EXACTLY why I take them...
