About  $1.50 for raw garlic @$4.50/lb.

About  $3.00 for vitamin D pills.

$2.96 every couple of months for Chlortabs.  I was buying Excedrin Migraine, but it's discontinued until further notice, so I take Advil Migraine and it is almost as good as Excedrin.  Advil is almost $10 every couple of months.  So, that's the extent of my health costs. 

Dang...I was going to ask this.

5 scrip meds @$7.00 co-pay for 3 month supply. 35/3= $11.67
Aspirin  50 cents.
Ibuprophen  800mg/day. About $4.00/month.
No supplements.

Usually zero.

Back in December, I was out snigging camphour laurel logs.
There was some sort of tiny insect, something I couldn't see, hear or feel, which bit all over my torso underneath my T-shirt.
I waited for a week in the expectation that the bites and itches would fade.
Instead, they multiplied.

I went to the doctor for the first time in six years.
It was hives.

She prescribed calamine lotion and antihistamine tablets - $24.00.

The combo worked reasonably well - reduced symptoms by a third within 24 hrs.
Added bonus, good sleep - side effect of the drug.
