In Beauty Banter 1371640376.957 Daisy, I'm going too, so I'll see you there - it's gonna be fun! How many people will be with you? No one is able to go with me, so I'll be alone :-( Looking forward to Longwood Gardens too. Met Lisa years ago, and she was so normal, nice, and funny - just like she is on TV. Continue Reading In Wellness & Health 1369446815.503 I had this done on both my eyes a month ago, two weeks apart. It really doesn't get any easier. I asked my doctor if the condition would progress if left untreated and he said yes. I read online that these secondary cataracts develop over 50% of the time. Continue Reading In Wellness & Health 1367954962.323 You must've read my mind. I am definitely going to go back to 10mg for about 10 days to see if it would still be okay because I do have a BP monitor. Even if I find that I need 20mg, I'm not going to worry because the nurse practitioner said 20mg is still a very low dose. When they first started me on BP meds, they prescribed a very low dose of another BP drug, so it seems my BP hasn't gotten that much worse. Continue Reading In Wellness & Health 1367876832.25 Ford, I initially read your post because I get palpitations and just checked to see the latest post to see what you found out. Now I saw your comments about atheroschlerosis and wanted to comment because I too take Lisinopril, and the dosage was just upped from 10mg to 20mg because they got a high reading when I was at the Cardiologist's office on Friday. I asked the Nurse Practitioner, who is very knowledgeable, why BP would continue to rise, and she said that, the older we get, the more stiff arteries get. Like our joints. So I was at least comforted that my condition wasn't really worse. S... Continue Reading In All About Handbags 1365920682.973 ShopNBC carries them and featured them a few weeks ago. I had been eyeing them for a while, so I ordered 3 wallets then and like them alot. Continue Reading In Wellness & Health 1365007084.407 MidnightShadow, glad to see you here - I posted about magnesium on your thread too. Sounds like it started working for you already! Don't be afraid to go to 1200mg if you have to; 1000mg seems to be the magical threshold. Continue Reading In Wellness & Health 1364935653.423 Mum, I'm glad to hear of the results you speak of, and I hope you'll help spread the word too. I'm concerned that people rely too much on medicines and not enough on natural means. Continue Reading In Wellness & Health 1364935104.997 Jessa, I'm due to see the cardiologist in 1 month (after a year) and plan to ask him if I can start weaning myself off of the cardizem (maybe taking it every other day instead of daily). He had told me to take an extra dose if I had another "attack" but that didn't shorten the duration of the last episode before I started taking magnesium. And actually, I read online that there's a school of thought that a magnesium deficiency is the cause of A Fib. Continue Reading In Wellness & Health 1364913410.133 Jessa, I'm telling anyone who'll listen that magnesium is the key to keeping your heart beating regularly. I first had A Fib in '07 but didn't have another episode til almost 2 years later. My last 2 episodes were only 6 months apart and decided I needed to try magnesium. My cardiologist didn't think it would help but said go for it. I only knew that cardizem wasn't working for me. The doctor told me at the outset that it wouldn't prevent another episode. Since I started taking 1200mg of magnesium (400mg with each meal) daily almost 17 months ago, I haven't had A Fib! It's a muscle relaxant, ... Continue Reading
