I have to admit...

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.
