Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi Joyce! I do what I have to so I can survive. I didnt tell you all I also went to the dentist and doctor, and had a job interview in there as well along with working at my other job. I dont know it all seems normal to me because I have done all of that for so long. I have this issue that I need to leave something behind when I leave this earth always have you know like a legacy of some sort I guess but its really some sort of good worth for my own benefit, give back to the community the world. In my current job i am not doing that just making money for a company its not rewarding at all, at the Bureau it was rewarding only because I served the people of the state and the law enforcement community (which that is my original degree) and I so like helping people in that fashion. Sad how money has to take us on another road! gosh sorry dont know how I got off on that path. Anyways I am going to check all the medication and see if it causes hypertension I dont think any of it does if anything I havent been able to take my RA meds because of these stupid antibiotics I am on STILL. Heart disease runs in my family, you know the silent killer! And of course last night I worked at the restaurant and had been having chest pain for weeks well last night it was worse enough to stop me in what I was doing. I just wanted to get home after 9 hours finally got to go, on TV is the Mamma Cass Elliot of the Mamma's and Pappa's she should be back in your guys times anyway did you know she died in her sleep from a heart attack, then they had some special on heart attack, my husband looked at me and Ilooked at him and asaid why is all this heart attack stuff on now? The kicker my doctor added a baby's aspirin to my daily medication, now why is that? Gosh Sandie > > > > Good Morning! I have been a little busy this last week.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Sandie Baby's Aspirin has been shown to reduce the possibility of heart attack. Actually I should be on it, although no heart problems yet, my father did die of one. Have to check next time I see doctor. I was once prescribed it. Don't know where I went wrong. I take another interesting prescription medication. Once when i had a brain MRI (it was negative, no brain found) and some special blood work, they found I had an elevated homocysteine level. While that means nothing itself it seems a precursor to stroke, which is what my mother died ultimately from. Therefore, I'm on Folbee, which is a formulation of B6, B12 and Folic Acid, prescribed by ny neurologist. > > > > > > Good Morning! I have been a little busy this last week.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I knew thats what they wanted it for but if your not interested in finding out if there is aheart problem then why take the baby aspirin. I didnt know there was blood tests actually, well I knew they said if your CRP level was high but mine is off the wall from my RA supposedly. I will have to check on that other one you said. I take Folic acid already have to because of the Methotrexate and the mouth sores. Ps. You have a GREAT brain! Sandie > > > > > > > > Good Morning! I have been a little busy this last week.
