I am so sorry Leo. I wish I knew something to say. If the meds help, then all I can say is stick to them. I live half way around the world, in the Middle East. I work at a teachers college. I haven't lived in the USA for almost 20 years (originally from Upstate NY) so I can't give any practical advice about it. I am sure that your doctor must be able to make some suggestions about getting your medications and not having to give them up to eat. I am so sorry I cannot help from all the way over here.
