I had a follow-up appointment with my GP today to get the results of the battery of tests that he's ordered for me these last 6 months...I love that about him, he will get to the bottom of it....My blood pressure was 152/79 and he told me that it had been steadily climbing and it was time for medication. Basically, I have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, very high cholesteral and he thinks the recent hip & SI joint pain is from pinched nerves...he perscribed many medications today, I was shocked, to say the least...here's my list of new maintenance meds...
1. Avapro 150mg
2. Neurontrin 300mg
3. Ultram 50mg
4. Flexaril 10mg
5. Fossomax 10mg
6. Famatodine 20mg
7. Lipitor 10mg
I'm hoping these meds won't interfere with the clinical trials, I doubt that it will but I'm going to have to disclose this to the doctor that's doing the study. I don't really know what all of these meds do yet, when things settle down and I get a minute, I'm going to look them up, all $647.00 of them, man, I've got to get some health insurance, Mike's a contrator and I'm self-employed too and these medical bills are getting out of control, I know many others are facing these same issues and I feel fortunate that I don't have to choose which perscriptions I'm not going to fill...
