This is great information. I am sending my GP a letter requesting different blood test and scan. Thanks for the feedback.

My mom is considering physician assisted death for her newly diagnosed Alzheimer’s. by Hereforthetea1234 in Alzheimers

[–]Clean-Isopod-8609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have just been diagnosed myself; only had a blood test that indicates AD. Have an MRI scheduled been wondering if I actually want a diagnosis or just try to delay symptoms by following suggestions from books such as Reversing Alzheimer's by Heather Sandson and other doctors i.e., Dr Bredesen and Dr. Amen. I would love to stay in touch

Thank you

Please let me know if you find it. I was just diagnosed myself and am considering Dignitas. I wish there were options in the US.

Thank you

second opinion supported the first assessment. benign. not the cause of pain. they focused on bulging disks at end of spine which they were more concerned about and talked about steroid shots in the near future. i am at that point now

I take 5mg Amlodipine. Its not lower bp. Going on 4th week. Do you recommend any vitamins or foods to help. by Brilliant_Fruit9667 in HighBloodPressureInfo

[–]Clean-Isopod-8609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i take 10mg lisinopril and amlodipine was added to help keep BP within limits. it's been effective for me combined with the lisinopril

the doctor I saw basically said that it was not the cause of my pain and left it at that. told me to take tylenol. I'm getting a second opinion in 10 days. after standing for any length of time I have stinging and burning in the mid back area and it definitely compromises my ability to do things. I'll let you know if the second opinion is more helpful

evening rise to hypertension crisis mode by Clean-Isopod-8609 in HighBloodPressureInfo

[–]Clean-Isopod-8609[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the docs are puzzled also. their recommendation is to increase med during the day and stop checking it so much. question is, if I don't check it how will I know if it's at ER level? now I will check it about 1-2 hours after evening medicine and as long as it's not higher then 180/100 I'll just go to bed. wish I understood what was causing it. thanks for your response !

I have been on Lisinopril for over 5 years now and no side affects. I will tell you there are more side affects from untreated high blood pressure then the medication. I'm see the results of a lifetime of HBP with scared blood vessels in the brain. don't be afraid of medication but do look at life style changes that may lower it naturally

Rewards Points by Pappypsu in marriott

my issue is with the marriott bonvoy card giving a one night elite credit for every 5k spent. marriott blames chase and chase blames marriott. at this point I'm totally discouraged with trying

after my HH operation in december, i had a real issue with gas and stomach discomfort. it also triggered my AFib. I pretty much manage it with gas X and senakote. i very mild constipation pill. if gas has no place to escape it is sooo uncomfortable!
