Okay .... so this T-shirt post woke me up a few weeks ago and made me take a look at the Prescription meds I am taking .... particularly the part about the Hydrochlorothiazide causing high blood SUGAR. WHAT?? I have been taking HCTZ for ... well ... Forever!! So I pulled out the paperwork which comes with all my meds and WOW ... I was shocked by all the potential side effects AND the issues with possibly conflicting meds I've been taking. And yes ... I do tell my DR about... all my meds!!
Plexus products have helped me .... and might help you!!! Email me for more info .... cincin21@yahoo.com ....
Turns out that the lower back/hip and lower leg pains I have been experiencing for MONTHS with very little relief SEEM to have been caused by my Blood Pressure meds!! I had NO IDEA!! Even the Fast Relief wasn't touching it. I was taking two different BP meds ... I stopped one 2 weeks ago and my lower leg pain has basically vanished .... Hips still hurt, though. I have been monitoring my BP several times a day and the highest I have seen is 140/90 .... usually it is very close to the 120/80 standard. So I read more about the 2nd BP med which is basically a diuretic ... which I LOVE because I tend to retain water .... fingers/ankles, etc. and I decided to stop it to see if my hip pain would dissipate. Stopped it yesterday and so far, so good!! Still monitoring my BP several times a day ... and the cuff I am using keeps the readings for me to show DR at next Appt. I have yet to see if I will be dealing with swollen ankles and fingers .... hoping the SLIM and all the water I am drinking will keep those down.
So it's sort of a crazy time to start the "New Product" from Plexus .... but I am monitoring my BP several times a day ... so Yay!! I am so hoping to be pain free AND to give a boost to my weight-loss!!
It will probably take a few weeks to get the Prescription meds out of my system .... I am already noticing a difference the pain level in my legs and hips ... I am very hopeful. I have been working with a trainer, Liz Nath, and with a Masseuse (Massage Envy membership) ... AND with a Chiropractor on a weekly basis and have had little overall relief .... but yesterday and today, I am feeling pretty good ... I am hopeful!!
And if I can continue to lose weight and inches ... going off the BP meds shouldn't be an issue .... especially if I continue to work out!!
Other side effects from my BP meds: High Blood Sugar ... High Cholesterol ... Back and Leg pain .... these are 3 things I have issues with ... will be paying attention to changes ....
I think I trust PLEXUS to take better care of me. So far the side effects of Plexus have only been POSITIVE!!

It’s great that you caught that detail and was able to wean yourself off the BP meds. Those side effects really did a number on you! I hope Plexus is doing what the other two meds weren’t able to do. Take care!
