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!!
