“Dammit! I already take thirty-eight pills a day! They barely fit in my weekly pillboxes, and now I have to add one more each day!”
This is an excerpt from my novel Mexico For Better or For Worse. 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.
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 Equipale 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.
Thank you for reading my books and blog articles.
