30, which is how many I'm taking these days.  Those 12 sodium bicarb tabs really pump up the volume!

Hmmm let's see, 6 binders (Renagel)  1 bp pill (Apo-Amlopendine) , 1 Replatvite, which is a kidney vitamin and I take calcitrol, 3 times a week post dialysis....so I take on a daily average, 8 pills a day. That's my highest, which is not really very much right now....  I'm sure that will change and go much higher once/if/when I have a transplant in the years to come.

Let me count the pills...
2 Allopurinol
2 Diovan
1 Lisinopril
1 Hectorol
1 Dylavite
1 Ferramin
2 Colace
1 Furosimide
6 Calcium Acetate

Those are routine but can add:
Colcrys every half hour as needed if gout flairs
Clonidine if BP goes over 170/100

So I guess the routine is about 17 but can balloon to about 25 on a really bad day. Good thing those don't happen very often.

Wow!  That's a lot, Todd.  I think mine was like 26 and it was after transplant.  I take 14 now and that includes a multivitamin and a fishoil capsule.
