an excerpt from my novel <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mexico-Better-Worse-Sickness-Health/dp/B0CLL6SYDV/" target="_blank">Mexico For Better or For Worse</a>. While the story of
expats Jake and Lindsay is fiction, it depicts many people's fears about moving
to Mexico permanently. One of the most common questions I receive is, "How
will I find the medication I need?" Jake and Lindsay discover that it's
possible in most cases.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Jake had
the stock bottles for his vitamins, minerals, including magnesium for restless
legs and sleep, fish oil, CoQ10, and other nutritional supplements, plus eight
prescription medication bottles lined up in an arch, a rainbow of colors, on
the <i>Equipale</i> dining table on their outdoor patio. His
prescription meds included carbidopa/levodopa for Parkinson’s, l-methylfolate
to aid in depression and Parkinson’s disease, a mood stabilizer and an
antidepressant for bipolar disorder, one anti-cholesterol med, one to relieve
urinary difficulty, and one for acid reflux. He had no desire ever to add
another prescription medication to his regimen.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs1bHWcsrSYwzPU_Ctz8RXUCsAI1XgKqEAVKXXRilfQ7-h5ttubN2NR0egQLiTtdd8FLWhB-8z9CqpWZWQbwgxCjJivQGYNKcJr6UlkMIfMP3mDLe20QFtNb-QHEHCAChPrEJME8jNm8PnSCv5cDBRzRNBzkdeKk65tQ7HKITLv0s_b3ZmqJKMJlVeyGEj/s1080/1-20240305_131242%20Pills%20Pills%20Pills%201080X713p.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="713" data-original-width="1080" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs1bHWcsrSYwzPU_Ctz8RXUCsAI1XgKqEAVKXXRilfQ7-h5ttubN2NR0egQLiTtdd8FLWhB-8z9CqpWZWQbwgxCjJivQGYNKcJr6UlkMIfMP3mDLe20QFtNb-QHEHCAChPrEJME8jNm8PnSCv5cDBRzRNBzkdeKk65tQ7HKITLv0s_b3ZmqJKMJlVeyGEj/s320/1-20240305_131242%20Pills%20Pills%20Pills%201080X713p.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Continue reading at </span><a href="https://retirementbeforetheageof59.blogspot.com/2024/03/pills-pills-pills-how-will-we-find-all.html?spref=bl">Retirement Before the Age of 59: Pills, Pills, Pills!

line-height: 107%;">Do you have one of these or similar “Explosive Gas and Carbon
Monoxide Alarms” in your condo, home, or RV? Have you tested it? If it screams
when tested, does that mean it really works? Will it actually detect propane,
butane, or carbon monoxide? </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When we purchased our condo unit in Puerto
Vallarta, we tested our First Alert Gas/Carbon Monoxide alarm, located under
the kitchen range, by pushing the Test / Silence button. It set off a
horrendous, alarming shriek. We incorrectly assumed that it would detect these
harmful, potentially fatal gases. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">We inadvertently put that Gas (Propane)
Detector to a true test. I turned a burner on under a pot of water to cook
spaghetti noodles. Then Jon and I went outside with glasses of wine to throw
the ball for Sophie while we waited for the water to boil.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Thirty minutes
later, I went inside to check the pot of water. The flame under the pan had
blown out or had never lit, and the apartment was FULL of propane gas! I could
smell it, but the Gas Detector had not alerted us. A single spark would have
