I've been spending a bit more time at My Lost and Found blog. But I do get back over here on occasion. I guess I sometimes wonder why I have more than one blog. What was I thinking? lol Or... was I thinking at all?
Don't answer that.
Still plugging through everything and sorting it all out one piece at a time. "Everything" being medications and what I can take, supplement-wise, etc., etc. without blowing myself up. Who knew this stuff was so touchy? Well, apparently it is (Lisinopril and Eliquis). The latter of those two, the blood thinner, apparently is a HUGE one that interacts with omega-3 oils. And here I was on high doses of the stuff. I started having all these very unpleasant and painful symptoms, did a little research on side effects (since I tend to be very sensitive to medications anyway) to see if I needed to make a call to the cardiologist to try a different medication, and low and behold... a big warning about avoiding omega-3 oils!
But I did call my cardio doc, who of course said to drop the O-3 supplements and see if the side effects subside. Giving it a shot. Geez. Have to watch Vitamin K (green, leafy veggies and the like), grapefruit, and a few other things. Good grief.
And the beat goes on... though a bit irregular on occasion still. But better.
I'm a bit tired. I'm off to watch a couple of episodes of Mad Men. I love this, series, btw.... Just saying.
