Well just got off line researching my medicines..
Main side effects to all of em are
Muscle pain
tireness.
hives.
vision impairment
joint pain.
weightloss or gain..
rapid heart beat.
light headedness.
and shortness of breath.
edema.
skin rash.
possible diabetes...
Okay thats enuff...
i can't test my theories because I don't have a way to monitor my blood pressure right now... this under active thyroid is my most concern.... cause when I was takin 50 mg I was doing great... so they raised it to 75. still doing good but I can't control my weight... my weight was doing fairly well untill I started this thyroid treatment... now I bounce up and down daily... some is water retention... aka side effect of levothyroxine... and then they raised it to 100 mg. and I cheated and cut the pill in half and i still got a great lab report... I just don't understand the need for so much drugs... Yeah doc got hot when he wanted to raise it again and I said now way...
Promised I be a good boy and take the 100mg even tho 50 was doin just fine according to my lab report....
This just don't make any sense to me... Pills to lower blood pressure and pills to raise it... wat gives... ME.. my body suffers all these side effects for wat....
I get this boy raise I'm gonna tell what to kiss... I'll take what I barely have to ... I want my life back, I want to get a little behind and maybe even a job... I wanna fly again... F@#@# this craptonite fever....
Oooops loosin my temper...
temper temper el capitan...
shut up bobbin...
Now I remember why I'd rather remain uninformed...
aint life grand...
decisions decisions...
do you smell smoke?
BOBBIN!!!...
I gotta go... Russ

I sure do understand russ I know some medicines are good and can save out lives.But some truely make me wonder if its safe to take them for our health.
No one knows our bodys like we do,and if we pay close attention to it we know when something isnt right.
Life isnt always kind we get dished out some really tough things to deal with sometime.All we can do is eat as healthy as posiable,get our exercise as often as we can.In general just take good care of ourselves.
Elimate the bad foods and things we drink by cutting down and weaning off.Life isnt all about food but about how well we are and how good we feel.
Its a battle for me too russ.
I have to watch my salt content.Iam not a big fan of cokes sugery foods animal fats or fried foods.My cardiologist is usually content with my cholosterol readings he annually does.
Right now I working on losing about 30 pounds because its putting 30 pounds of pressure for my heart and I like living.Although sometimes I wonder why with all the crap that seems to seek me out LOL.Except god isnt finished with me yet.. ;))
Any whooo we owe it to ourselves.
Have a good day and dont sweat the small stuff.
Hugsssss!

Yeah, it\'s kinda rough when the meds you take have worse side effects than the disease itself....Hang in there and keep ole Bobbin outta trouble...Hugs, QKW
