    • About Me

      My blood pressure was as high as 180/110 which bothered me, but while I was taking the L-Carnitine and Ubiquinol, my blood pressure was close to my ideal range of 110/60 to 120/80 since I felt awesome. As a result of having financial problems and running out of the Vitamins, plus some relatives think they are wasteful, but I have seen positive changes myself. I haven’t been drinking any very much watered down juice in the last 2 weeks and my blood sugar is about as bad as it was, but when I get the Chromium it will go down and then I can get back to drinking the 25% fruit juice and High Frutrose which I won’t throw away since it cost money which is limited. My friend Vicki sent me some Vitamins I was needing, Praise God! If I was supposed to talk about my problems, I am sure this would bless others who read this, but I am going to talk about health. February, 2005 my bike konked out, I was told it would be fixed, but this person felt bad and it got worse, but I had no riding which was great for weight gain until the middle of October, 2009, when my Pastor and wife came over with a new bike with warranty which meant a lot.

    • Interests

      My interests are not in order; bike riding along with listening to music such as big band, old radio, although I can't get much of this over the internet since I have the low income internet and many sites with Audio are going to the higher priced sounds. I love to talk about the Vitamins which I am taking and how they have helped me a lot, but I am places like this which I can talk freely about comments others might not like, but I am allowed.

    • Close Diabetes Type 2

      My doctor tests my blood often and he often don't say anything, except to give me drugs. I found out a year after he gave me a pill I ask him and he said I was diabetic. My A1C started off at 6.4% and the last test was 5.6%. I ran out of the Chromium and Alpha Lipoic Acid which is part of the reason I had higher blood sugar. I hope to order more Vitamins soon. There will be money coming I hope soon.

      Treatments

      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      Because I am low income its harder to buy healthier foods, but many political people hate those on food stamps, they blame all of them for not eating as healthy, but they think no one should get any of the food stamps at all. I am trying to eat more fiber on a regular basis. The healthier I eat, the better my health is, and it does work well.
      Metformin Somewhat Helpful
      I have learned although Metformin is very good, it shines brighter when I take it with Chromium and Cinnamon, but the Vitamins are much safer to me. I am told that Metformin gives issues in the bathroom, but I take the Vitamin to help me not have that problem and its a good thing to nip in the bud first. When I do take the Chromium and Cinnamon, I have to watch my blood sugar more.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I had been walking a lot, but in September 10, my dad told me to focus on the apartment and so I didn't get back to my walking as of November 3, but I haven't made enough progress in cleaning up, but Praise God, I have a bike which surely blesses me a lot. I love to be able to go out and ride my bike and not have to beg for a ride to the Dollar Stores or Misses, local Grocery store. This will be outstanding exercise which I love and being more free.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      I need your prayers and I have been praying for help with my problems plus praying more for others this helps me to get more things done.
    • Close High Blood Pressure

      Between 1997-2002 I was taking care of my grandparents who had a nurse come to see them and once they checked my blood pressure which they found high so I had to pay for the doctor and the drugs to help my blood pressure which wasn't easy since I didn't get paid much for my work.

      Treatments

      Accupril Somewhat Helpful
      This has been the least effective and my RN showed up recently and he noticed that I was supposed to take them twice a day, which I am not sure if its because I hate to take a lot of drugs or because I only get the bottle out and put in there bottles for AM and 4:30 PM and so I am now taking the afternoon pills and I hope to have my blood pressure go lower later in the day.
      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      I avoid food which is not affordable and eating for the most which is too high in Sodium since it makes my blood pressure much higher and I hate this, but eating healthy is not easy since the high prices.
      Fish Oil Working / Worked
      I am taking some of the capsules which are called Omega 3 6 9 and its good for not only my heart, but blood pressure, reduces pain, and I have since that time, I have read a lot of other things it helps with although I love the way it helps the bad and good cholesterol although I am not sure how much this is the case.
      Norvasc Working / Worked
      This is my favorite drug of all of them since it has helped my blood pressure most of all. I found out my mom used to take this in the past, and I hope it continues to work with all of my walking.
    • Open Stress Management

      Just to share my experience, I am not planning to stay for long, but to share my story and then not stay for long before I leave.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I was threatened with losing all I have so walking helps and I hate summertime because we are more likely to get devastating storms which add stress, I remember when Rita was headed for us and I wound up in the hospital. I got money from Government, and I survived the medical problems. I was told to breath in and out and I was too stressed. About a year after Rita hit, I was able to relax and yet we had storm 2008 and since I didn't leave, I had much less stress.
