>My medication consumption is, on the average, two 200mg (not the standard 400mg) ibuprofens (called brufen here) a year. Last year, though, I used 5, all in the first week of the year... so it's now about sixty weeks since I last had a pill in my mouth. Don't even remember when I last took an aspirin, perhaps last decade.

Enjoy that while you can.

I was in that camp for many years, but recent events have scared me into capitulation.

Some of these meds can prolong life and right now that sounds good to me
