hang on!? What's that about vit K?? I'm crazy low in that stuff.

After jaw surgery I bleed like crazy and didn't get a handle on post

op bleeding episodes until I got loads of K. Then the clotting was

grand. I bruise less when I use it.

What's that about with the aldosterone? Ugh, spironolactone. Blocks

T and in some cases E, no?

K = potassium (scientific abbreviation)

I'm taking spiro to block aldosterone. I have no choice at the moment and

cannot worry about what else it blocks. I am going to pursue adrenal

surgery if an aldo producing tumor can be located. If not, I will

eventually switch to Inspra which blocks only aldo and not T or E.
