Wow, it must have been affecting your heart and/or kidneys!
I was only on it a couple of days, muscle pain returning as bad as ever, got a new doctor, a woman, who's more thorough than any doctor I've ever had in 68 years, prescribed something to protect my kidneys, LISINOPRIL5mg, generic for ZESTRIL. In case you want to ask about yours.
She put me on Avandia on a trial basis, in addition to the Glucotrol10 which still works well after 17 years, and since I still had the arm muscle pain this morning, took first Avandia yesterday afternoon, I'm waiting till afternoon to take the one-pill-a-day Avandia again, as the pain is subsiding now, 1:22 pm, want to see if it causes pain again.
I'm wondering if watching the body's PH balance might have a good effect. Anyone know which veggies have the most protein? They say it's best to get your protein that way. (So why don't they list them?) I'll look at vegetarian diets or consult a dietician.
Editing 6-8-04 to say I have a woman doctor now, and am on Avandia, may gain weight but I'm on Atkins anyway. She ordered an echocardiogram which is an ultrasound about plaque in your arteries, and at age 68 I only have one bad spot, an ankle I injured back in 1972, reason my foot ulcer hasn't healed in a year, and I thought my arch was beginning to fall. New arteries may have been trying to form around a 1/2 blockage, will find out more in a couple of days, hope it can be dissolved, nonsurgical, afraid of clots, etc.
