Re: Interesting news about testing

Hi Lottie.

I hope that you do well with the Clonindine Patch. As I told you I was

initially put on it, but developed a rash from the adhesive. So, I was changed

to pills. That is when I had the problem. It seemed like my body kept wanting

a continuing higher doseage. I wound up with a .2 taken every 6 hours. Even at

that, if I had too much salt or something upset me, my pressure skyrocketed.

Had I stayed on the patch, maybe it would not have happened. Keep a blood

pressure monitor around and periodically check your pressure. With clonindine

you will experience a headache and feel warm if you pressure is rising. As for

the Vitamin D , I keep it now at 800 units instead of the 2,000 that Robyn and I

used. I add up the units in the daily multiple Vitamin and Citrical with D and

find I get the 800 units needed. Certainly in New Jersey with the major

blizzard, I haven't benefited from being in the sun.

athletic and are going in for tests, Chris. Sandi, as for the Vitamin D, my

doctor is a foremost physician when it comes to endocrinology and he prescribed

Vitamin D2 once a month. Perhaps in light of all the problems I am having with

my kidneys, we should review that, but I am not an outdoor person, since I

cannot walk on grass or uneven flooring, so it is probably my best avenue to get

the Vitamin D that I need. I will certainly look into it and skip my monthly

pill and see if that has any effect. Yesterday I started the Clondine patch. I

know how you feel about it, but it is infinitely better than ingesting it and

all the other drugs that are making me sick. I am up that creek again. Now

where is that paddle?????? LOL
