Causing a rattle that would make a den of diamondbacks jealous, Casey Johansen plopped a clattering, shoe box-sized pill carrier on her kitchen table.
Unfastening one of many small plastic flaps, this one marked "Thursday," she scooped up a handful of multi-colored meds - reds, whites, yellows - and placed them in a tight pile.
"It's insane. Morning, noon and night," the 22-year-old said, standing in the kitchen of her Gilroy home off Buena Vista Avenue last Wednesday afternoon.
Antivirals, antibiotics, antifungals and a host of others - she takes about 35 pills each day at precise times. She expects to gulp down the glut of pills for another year. After that, she'll have to pop at least five of them every day for the rest of her life.
